Optometry practices are some of the most efficient operators in New Zealand – which means the easy wins from AI document processing are usually already taken. The brief we accept is the one focused on the workflow you've tried to fix twice and given up on.
Optometry practices · Applied AI
Optometry practices-grade AI document processing, shipped by people who've done it before.
What AI document processing actually does
Scanned invoices, signed contracts, handwritten timesheets, PDF specs – extracted into clean data and routed where they belong. No more typing what someone already wrote.
- 01 Vision models read scans, photos, and handwriting
- 02 Pushes structured data into Xero, your CRM, or sheets
- 03 Confidence flags route low-certainty docs to a human
- 04 Handles te reo, bilingual forms, and old NZ templates
Built on: Claude Vision AWS Textract Mistral OCR Vercel
Sector context
Where optometry practices actually lose hours and dollars.
- Optometrists balance eye tests, recalls, and frame sales, with recall reminders often the first thing to slip.
- Recall reminders and insurance or funding queries are the recurring admin load behind every optometry front desk.
How we build AI document processing for optometry practices.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a optometry practice business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI for paperwork.
Talk to usThe outcome for optometry practices
We'd call the engagement a success when optometry practices are using the system without thinking about us. Cuts data-entry labour by 80% on invoices, POs, and timesheets.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Questions
FAQ
How fast could we have AI document processing in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most optometry practices. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for optometry practices that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Cuts data-entry labour by 80% on invoices, POs, and timesheets.
What if our optometry practice doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape – ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful – is part of the engagement. For AI document processing specifically, we typically run that work on Claude Vision, AWS Textract, Mistral OCR, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
