Heron is a document automation platform that captures, classifies, extracts, enriches, validates, and syncs data for lending, insurance, and paperwork-heavy teams.

Heron

Document automation for intake, extraction, and sync

Heron is a document automation platform for organizations that process large volumes of applications, submissions, forms, and other paperwork-heavy workflows. Its stated workflow covers intake, classification, parsing, enrichment, evaluation, and sync to a system of record.

The site positions Heron around reducing manual document handling in lending, insurance, and related financial and professional services workflows. Heron Intake captures documents from channels such as email, portals, APIs, Dropbox, and Google Drive; Heron Parsers extract structured data from complex documents; and Relay sends validated outputs into downstream systems so teams do not need to rekey data by hand.

Core capabilities

Multi-source document intake

Heron Intake pulls documents from email inboxes, portals, APIs, Dropbox, Google Drive, and custom portals, then automatically organizes incoming files.

Automatic classification and routing

Documents are classified by type and routed into the right processing workflow, reducing manual triage and file sorting.

Parsing and validation for complex documents

Heron Parsers extract structured fields from complex financial and insurance documents, including handwritten, scanned, and noisy formats, and note built-in quality controls.

Data enrichment

The platform can enrich parsed data with third-party or internal sources, such as vehicle data, NAICS codes, and licensing or financial metadata.

Policy and SOP checks

Checks apply business rules to flag inconsistencies, missing fields, or non-compliant entries before downstream work continues.

Downstream system sync

Relay sends structured outputs into a CRM, policy administration system, or database without CSV handoffs or rekeying.
