Smart Engines solutions allowed us to automate the entry of data from documents and reduce the time for registration of new employees, - said Natalya Savchenko, director of personnel management at the Russian Crab Group of Companies.

To automate personnel processes in the 1C system, Smart Engines AI is used, which enters data from the main spread of the Russian passport into the applicant's questionnaire. Algorithms recognize both printed and handwritten recordings. In addition to an internal passport, the system automates the entry of data from SNILS, a passport, a sailor's identity card (ULM) and other documents required for work on the ship. In total, the solution supports the recognition of more than 5 thousand document templates from all countries of the world, including any paper necessary for KDO.

The solution is integrated with the 1C system of the Russian Crab company, which allows you to automatically transfer data of applicants to questionnaires. The processing of documents is completely carried out within the company without transferring personal data to the cloud, and the system operates on a typical infrastructure using conventional office scanners.
