We're Aahel, Kieran, and Max from [Midship.](https://midship.ai/)\n\n### **TLDR**\n\n[**Click here**](https://app.midship.ai/demo/) **to try our playground!**\n\nBusinesses spend countless hours manually copying data from documents into spreadsheets, ERPs, and other business systems. Midship extracts data from any document into standardized formats that integrate with your existing business processes. Today, Midship powers diverse organizations from finance to biotech, saving enterprises countless hours of manual work daily.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85135\u0026key=user_uploads/1473312/886e10d8-4f40-4f8a-946f-c3166f5ea5c9)\n\n### **The Problem**\n\nAccountants spend almost 50% of their time on manual data entry. Supply chain managers manually process hundreds of shipping documents. Healthcare administrators copy-paste endless insurance forms. This list goes on.\n\nHighly skilled professionals are spending half their days on mindless data entry.\n\n### **The Solution**\n\nMidship eliminates this manual process. Here's how it works:\n\n* **Extracts** the data you need from any document\n* **Audit** each extracted value against the source on Midship\n* **View** all your extractions in Midship's structured data interface\n* **Export** data where you need - your excel templates, api integrations.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85135\u0026key=user_uploads/1473312/99f51026-2b6d-4289-afc4-ddc82040f043)\n\n### **How is Midship different?**\n\nWhile others simply pull raw data from documents, Midship transforms extracted data into the format you use for work. Whether column names don't match, source documents show monthly values but you need annual amounts, or layouts are inconsistent - you'll get clean, standardized data.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85135\u0026key=user_uploads/1473312/3a58a438-5da7-48d6-bcfc-516236f260d6)\n\n### **Try It Now**\n\nVisit our [playground](https://app.midship.ai/demo/) to test it out with your own documents.
