We backed this intelligent document processing technology early because we recognised that its machine learning models were years ahead of the market. By embedding this 20-year operational AI ancestry, and the inSTREAM team’s expertise, across the ADVT Group, we give our global clients an automation capability that younger software competitors simply cannot replicate.
Strategic Acquisition Rationale:
inSTREAM (formerly known as Celaton) was acquired to establish the definitive AI foundation for the entire ADVT Group. As an enterprise-grade intelligent document processing solution with an international operational footprint, this business provides the core machine learning and cognitive computing engine that we embed across our entire software portfolio. It cements our status as a tried and tested AI pioneer rather than a recent market entrant.
Cognitive Automation for Complex Document Workflows
Built to handle the overwhelming volumes of unstructured information that flood modern businesses, this intelligent document processing platform delivers true cognitive automation to global enterprises. While traditional software struggles to read anything outside of rigid, pre-defined templates, our platform utiliSes an advanced blend of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and machine learning to read, comprehend, and process documents exactly like a human would.
The platform is engineered to ingest information from any incoming channel - including structured forms, semi-structured invoices, and completely unstructured emails or detached documents. It naturally interprets the context, intent, and sentiment of the communication. Whether managing high-volume accounts payable, global freight documentation, complex sales orders, or intricate bill and audit cycles, the software automates the end-to-end process rather than just automating isolated tasks.
Global Footprint
This intelligent document processing platform operates on a truly international scale, supporting 128 languages and breaking down geographic barriers for multinational corporations. It enables global enterprises to unify their document-driven workflows across diverse regional offices, ensuring absolute compliance with international data standards and local regulatory frameworks. It provides a secure, fully searchable digital archive that automatically applies statutory document retention periods, significantly reducing physical storage overheads and legal compliance risks.
Trusted by the UK & Ireland Public Sector
Simultaneously, the platform maintains an unshakeable footing within the public sector across the UK and Ireland. Local governments and healthcare providers face mounting pressure to optimise operational efficiencies amid tightening budgets. This software addresses that demand directly, deploying robust automation to handle high-volume public sector administration. Its proven ability to operate securely within strictly regulated public sector frameworks makes it a trusted asset for civil governance and enterprise commerce alike.
The Competitive Advantage of Tried and Tested AI
The true differentiator of our intelligent document processing platform is its mature, workforce-supported machine learning architecture. Having pioneered this technology since 2004, our algorithms have processed billions of complex transactions. The platform does not soley rely on speculative generative models (although Large Language Models do play their part); it utilises a highly refined 'human-in-the-loop' paradigm. When the AI encounters an ambiguous document or an unprecedented format, it safely routes the task to an operational clerk for verification. The best of both worlds.
The platform watches and learns from this single human interaction. Through this natural consequence of processing, its confidence and accuracy continuously improve. Over time, the software achieves exceptional straight-through processing rates, driving average handling times down to near zero. Global enterprises and public bodies benefit from a system that grows smarter and more agile with every single document it reads, providing a clear, rapidly realized return on investment.
