Case Study: RuralCo boosts invoice processing accuracy and speed with Iron Software

Ruralco achieves 95%+ OCR accuracy with Iron Software

RuralCo, a New Zealand-based financial services provider for farmers, faced the challenge of processing thousands of complex invoices, many of which were handwritten or scanned PDFs. They needed to reliably extract data, convert Excel files, generate print-ready documents, and handle encrypted archives within their server-based .NET infrastructure. Iron Software provided a suite of tools including IronOCR, IronXL, IronPDF, IronPrint, and IronZIP to meet these needs.

The solution from Iron Software enabled RuralCo to automate their workflows, achieving over 95% accuracy in OCR data extraction. A custom tool built with IronXL in just two hours replaced a process that previously took weeks of manual work. This resulted in faster statement delivery, a significant reduction in processing errors, and increased developer productivity, allowing the team to focus on core business logic instead of file parsing.
