In Russia, publishing house Eksmo has integrated the Smart Engines platform into its 1C accounting system. The system now automatically extracts the data needed to sign contracts directly from authors’ documents.

The AI reads passport details, tax identification numbers, and social security data, extracts key fields, and automatically fills out contractor profiles. Staff only need to verify and confirm the information before proceeding with contract оформления.

Document Processing

The platform handles both printed and handwritten documents. It can recognize tables, signatures, and stamps, extracting data even from complex forms.

The system operates at high speed. In a server configuration, it can process up to 125 passports per second and up to 900 pages of documents per minute without using GPUs.

Millions of Books, Thousands of Authors

Eksmo publishes tens of millions of books each year and actively seeks new authors. With such volumes, manual document processing slowed down onboarding. Automation has significantly reduced the time required to start working with new writers.

“We are constantly looking for new authors and developing partnerships. Implementing automated document recognition is an important step in the development of our publishing house. Now we can process new contracts and enter data into corporate systems in just a few minutes. We are also внедряем enhanced recognition of legally significant documents related to rights transfers and royalty payments,” said Irina Vasilevskaya, head of regulatory and reference information at Eksmo’s business administration division.

Secure Processing

All document processing takes place within the publisher’s internal infrastructure. Data is not transmitted to external services and remains within a secure environment. The Smart Engines technology is included in Russia’s official registry of domestic software.
