Digital Mailroom

Digital mailroom: the quiet productivity booster

An average Belgian enterprise receives 50,000 to 500,000 documents per year via post, email, portals, and EDI. A digital mailroom unifies all channels into one automated stream.

The traditional mail flow

Mailroom opens post, sorts by department, employee scans (sometimes), manually enters into ERP/CRM. Turnaround: 2–5 business days per document.

  • Manual sorting and data entry
  • No SLA monitoring
  • Errors in manual entry

What digital mailroom software does

All incoming channels are unified, classified via OCR and AI (MiraKnows.ai), and routed to the correct system — with near-zero manual intervention for standard documents.

  • Post (scanned), email, PDF uploads, EDI/XML
  • AI classification: invoice, CV, contract, complaint
  • Routing to SAP, ERP, CRM, or archive
  • Audit trail and GDPR compliance
