Western Canadian company, Findan Software, uses power of AI to help Xerox create ‘game-changing’ tool

Earlier this year, global leader in office and production print technology, Xerox, announced a cutting-edge workplace app that will save workers up to one entire workday per week.

The app is called Intelligent Filer, and Calgary-based custom software firm Findan Software created it on behalf of Xerox. Utilizing the power of AI, Intelligent Filer automates the filing of documents, instantly sorting scanned documents into the correct folder and providing a document name based on a company’s defined naming policies.

A recent global study conducted by ABBYY revealed that this could save some workers up to one full workday per week. ABBYY’s study found that approximately 24% of workers lose an entire day of productivity each week while searching documents and looking for information they need to assist customers. 

Todd Scheven, President of Findan Software, says the app is all part of searching for adventurous solutions to challenging problems:

“Anyone who has worked in an office knows how time-consuming and frustrating it can be to search for a mislabelled document. This is a challenge regardless of a company’s industry or team size. Intelligent Filer eliminates the issue. At Findan, we love finding adventurous solutions to challenging problems, and we were delighted to partner with Xerox on the development of Intelligent Filer. I’m sure the app will save thousands of productivity hours in its first year alone!”

The app took about two years to create, with a 12-month window for planning and a 12-month window for development and execution. The app is the latest in a fruitful collaboration between Xerox and Findan, with the Calgary-based firm creating many of the official applications in the Xerox App Gallery.

While Findan Software is based in Calgary, Alberta, the firm partners with organizations throughout North America on their software development needs, and Scheven believes many organizations can benefit from automation and software development:

“Custom software development isn’t just for organizations in the tech space. Ultimately, custom software can help take tedious tasks and turn them into automated ones. This can be revolutionary for businesses and organizations in terms of saving time and money. As AI continues to learn and improve, there will be more and more opportunities to make the workday a little smoother.”
