Performance indicators

2023:22% increase in revenue from document recognition services

Biorg's revenue from document recognition services increased by 22% in 2023. The company announced this on March 4, 2024.

The company earned 204 million rubles against 175 million in 2022. The main revenue came from SaaS services for recognizing complex sets of documents, where to automate business processes, you need to process both standard forms, for example, passports and SNILS, and semi-structured data, including handwritten ones. Revenue indicators correspond to the target values ​ ​ for development for 2023.

The company ended 2023 with a profit after meeting all obligations to employees and investing in the development of Beorg Smart Vision platform technologies. In particular, we are talking about the development of products of the line Biorg.Identification (KYC) and Biorg.Documents, automatic modules for processing standard forms of documents.

The company's revenue is growing organically by 20-30 percent annually. The key driver of development in 2023 was the commercial segment. The indicators for government contracts and commercial agreements have leveled off for the first time in the history of the company's work since 2017. Traditionally, the ratio was 30 by 70% in favor of the public sector, "said Ruslan Aligadzhiev, General Director of Biorg .

According to the CEO, the company focuses on the development of the product direction. This model allows you to achieve more sustainable growth of the company compared to the design one.

I hope that the share of revenue from the sale of B2B products will grow by more than 20 percent during 2024, including through the launch of new tariffs for fully automatic document recognition services. We pay special attention to the development of the partner channel. In 2023, the number of Biorg partners among large banks, system integrators, telecom and IT companies has seriously increased. We will bring our products to their shelves, - said Ruslan Aligadzhiev.

At the same time, the Biorg project portfolio related to the recognition of complex data increased in 2023 and will grow further. This is due to such serious challenges for automatic OCR technologies as high-quality automatic recognition of handwritten text, stamped and printed documents, archived documents in poor condition. Recognition of complex, semi-structured data is typical for state projects related to the transition to the "Data Economy."

File:Aquote1.png
From the experience of 2023, we can say that in 2024 the popularity of hybrid solutions at the intersection of automation and outsourcing will grow. More and more customers are looking for turnkey solutions in the market. Accordingly, more companies with different sales models will try to improve their customer experience through additional data post-processing services, "Ruslan Aligadzhiev emphasized.

In 2023, Biorg continued to develop cooperation with financial organizations. The growth of document recognition services for the banking sector was about 20%. Projects have started to recognize passports when remotely issuing bank cards and recognize QR codes for making payments.

The pool of customers among online platforms and sharing services has also grown. They were interested in the service of recognizing passports and selfies in the context of KYC processes - registration of trustworthy users. Biorg launched such a service at the beginning of 2023 as part of steps to import substitution of solutions of a large foreign vendor.

An additional increase in profit in 2024 Ruslan Aligadzhiev points to HR-tech, where Biorg provides recognition of personnel sets of documents. Since 2021, the company's revenue in this segment has increased 10 times. The top manager associates further growth with the growing popularity of CSCs - common processing centers - and the fact that the Biorg brand is more recognized in this market.

The company continues to develop the modular software product "Biorg.Docs," which was previously included in the roadmap "New system-wide software." Instead of a large telecom company, the anchor customer was a company from the fuel and energy sector. The company began to implement part of the work, such as an autonomous module for recognizing primary accounting documents, proactively with its own funds, praising the potential for introducing the product.

We are optimistic about development in the next few years. There is already a pool of "long" customers, including from the public sector, who will help us generate revenue on the horizon of 24-25 years. During 2023, we increased the internal profitability of projects due to AI technologies, which we began to use more widely in typical data recognition and processing processes, - said Ilya Verigin, Biorg director for work with government bodies.

The speaker noted that in 2023 the document recognition market in Russia acquired a distinct shape. In one niche, companies work with standard documents, in another they recognize complex data, while providing a turnkey service.

File:Aquote1.png
The average quality of recognition of standardized documents plus or minus is the same in the market. Those who offer something unique, can carry out complex projects using AI, while providing high-quality client service, will continue to grow, "said Ilya Verigin.

{{quote 'Biorg Company continues to develop its talent potential. We have to fight for the best personnel in unequal conditions with large players - banks and insurance, who are actively developing their own IT systems and literally vacuum the market, offering candidates higher than market wages. On the other hand, our tasks for developers and analysts may seem more interesting. If a person chooses Biorg, we are confident in his high interest and motivation for the result. Since the end of 2023, we have introduced a system of grads in the company to encourage employees to further dynamic growth in the context of a rapidly developing company, - said Anna Savelyeva, HR partner of Biorg. }}

Since January 2023, Biorg has been developing according to the changed corporate model of collective management through the board of directors. 7 leading employees of the team exercised the priority right to buy out shares from the founder.

History

2023

Buying out 80% of the share of seven key employees

Key employees of the Russian IT-startup "Biorg" became its owners. The company announced this on January 26, 2023.

According to an earlier vesting, 7 key employees of the startup bought 80% of the company from the founder.

Biorg is one of the few technology companies in Russia that realizes the development potential through the option mechanism - giving employees shares through the pre-emptive right of redemption at a fixed price.

Thanks to this approach, the company increased revenue by 50% while ensuring profitability in 2022, and built a sustainable business model for the subsequent scaling and transformation of the business. The company has formed a stable financial model for working on government contracts, has not attracted venture financing, and invests its own funds in development.

On the horizon of 3 years, Biorg plans to present a number of domestic products for recognizing and analyzing documents based on AI - based on its own technology platform Beorg Smart Vision. The ambitious approach is to completely replace the decisions of foreign players, to close the key needs of business and the state in digitization. The company will also continue to commercialize development results through project activities and custom AI solutions to automate the administrative functions of government agencies and corporations - digital assistants.

The updated development strategy will help the owners to implement the former top manager of the subsidiary Sberbank Ruslan Aligadzhiev.

Option is an important part of the culture of technological entrepreneurship. In Russia, this corporate governance tool is not yet very developed. First of all, it is interesting for companies that create innovation. For executives, this is a way to attract good personnel even to small organizations, startups. For employees, the motivation is to work as closely as possible to create new IT products that generate profits. Within such a corporate culture, employees begin to think like entrepreneurs, which is very important for the development of the domestic economy as a whole. At the same time, the option helps to balance the interests of employees and management, - said Ruslan Aligadzhiev, General Director of Biorg.

According to the top manager, it is significant that ordinary employees who actively participated in the development and support of priority products received the right to the option and benefited the company. They were able to exercise the right to repurchase shares after 1 year from the date of signing the option agreement. The delayed buyout - cliff - was implemented in the interests of a more dynamic development of the company. The owners received from 10 to 20 percent of Biorg. Founder and former CEO of Biorg Georgy Zuev plans to focus on other technological projects. After the vesting, he owns 20% of the Skolkovo startup.

The option program was implemented in connection with the achieved planned indicators of the company in 2022 after the technological transition of 2021. The main driver of development was an increased interest in AI technologies for automating business processes, which are being developed by Biorg and, in particular, the Beorg Smart Vision platform - a service for automatic translation of analog data into a machine-readable form with guaranteed quality. Up to 5 million fields with data are processed monthly on the platform.

Solution "Biorg" and Docsvision - recognition of handwritten text from scans for work in EDMS

Russian developers - Biorg and Docsvision - announced in November the start of a technological partnership that will be aimed at creating a joint solution. The new functionality will allow you to recognize and enter handwritten data from scanned documents into the Docsvision electronic document management system in a matter of seconds.

The need for recognition and further work with data filled in in documents by hand arises quite often. How do companies that use the electronic document management system solve this issue? In some cases, handwritten data from scans stored in the EDMS are simply not used. In other cases, when handwritten information is critically needed, for example, to fill out document cards in the EDMS, the person responsible for data entry is engaged in its recognition and manual entry into the system. Obviously, the process requires additional time, and there is a possibility of errors.

Biorg and Docsvision will present customers with a convenient option for quickly recognizing handwritten text on scanned documents. This will reduce the cost of human labor, the time for entering documents into the electronic document management system manually, and also reduce the number of errors to zero. It will be enough for the user to simply scan the paper document and the extracted handwritten text will be automatically loaded into the Docsvision electronic document management system card. Biorg's own software and resources guarantee the accuracy of text recognition and deadlines, complete confidentiality and data protection (in accordance with the Federal Law "On Personal Data" of 27.07.2006 No. 152-FZ).

According to the specialists of both companies, the joint solution will be widely in demand in structures where a large number of citizens' appeals and incoming correspondence are processed daily (citizens' appeals to government agencies, MPSC) or questionnaires with hand-completed data (banks, insurance companies, retail and other areas offering clients loyalty programs).
