Industry Snapshot

Data entry is one of the most common — and least strategic — reasons companies expand headcount. Whether it’s digitizing invoices, logging order information, or entering records into internal tools, these tasks are essential, repetitive, and a poor use of human time.

And the costs go beyond payroll. Teams lose time to onboarding, training, quality checks, and turnover. The work gets done late, inconsistently, or not at all. Still, many companies keep hiring because automation seems too technical or too rigid to fit the tools they already use.

But data entry isn’t a hiring problem. It’s a workflow problem.

The Challenge

Wrk clients come to us when:

  • Hiring and turnover are slowing operations

  • Accuracy and consistency are hard to maintain

  • Teams are overwhelmed with repetitive tasks like invoice entry or form population

  • Information lives in PDFs, scanned docs, spreadsheets, or across disconnected systems

  • Other automation tools require APIs, platform changes, or long onboarding cycles

It’s not just about eliminating typing or reducing clicks. It’s about removing the friction between where data lives and where it needs to go.

The Solution

Wrk helps teams automate data entry by stitching together the systems they already use — without forcing a platform switch or adding headcount. 

By combining OCR, data extraction, light integrations, and human-in-the-loop review, Wrk handles the full workflow: pulling information from static documents, structuring it, validating it, and entering it wherever it needs to go. 

This approach adapts to each client’s environment, whether that means:

  • Digitizing paper forms, invoices, and shipping slips

  • Extracting fields from PDFs or scanned documents

  • Creation of structured reports or summaries from raw data

  • Validation, formatting, and cross-checking for accuracy

  • Inputting structured data into accounting, CRM, or ERP systems

  • Keeping systems in sync — no manual entry required
