RP Solutions Integrates A2iA CheckReader Into Check Processing Software
A2iA Corporation
A2iA Corp., a leading provider of tools for document analysis and handwritten data extraction, announced recently that its comprehensive check-processing toolkit, A2iA CheckReader, has been integrated into RP Solutions' applications, expanding the capabilities of ExpertRPS for remittance processing, and ExpertCHK for check and deposit processing by banks and credit unions. A2iA CheckReader is a set of advanced image analysis and intelligent recognition engines that enables software applications to capture handwritten and machine printed information from all areas of checks, and capture handwritten or machine-printed amounts from money orders, deposit slips, remittance coupons and other related documents.
"In our continuing effort to meet our customers' diverse needs, we have added A2iA CheckReader tools to our product suites," said David Johnson, President, RP Solutions. "This gives our customers even more flexibility to extract information that can be used in a variety of check validation, fraud detection, data mining and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) applications."
"For instance, the payor name is instantly read and compared against a black list while the name and address block can be captured automatically and used for marketing efforts. The payee name can be read to make sure a check is written to the correct company. The date field can be read to help screen for post-dated checks. Our software can further authenticate a captured address by validating it against the US Post Office database," Johnson explained. "Customers using these features, especially those in the collections industry, have very specific requirements and A2iA's toolkit allows us to better meet their needs."
With its powerful image quality and image usability tools A2iA CheckReader also detects checks that are poorly scanned or checks that have incomplete information. Alerting a user to a potentially non-negotiable item immediately following scanning prevents costly corrections later and ensures timely processing.
"We are thrilled RP Solutions has chosen to work with us," said Courtney Rand, A2iA's Marketing and Sales Director for North America. "Their innovative check processing applications now bring even more data collection capabilities, enhanced risk mitigation and improved operational efficiencies to their customers."
