I turn your paperwork into hours back.

I know the pile of scans waiting on Friday evening: I spent years retyping handwritten repair orders into Excel. One day I built a system that does it for me. It's still running — and I can build yours.

Let's talk about your paperwork See a real case study → no fluff, promise: a real answer within 24 h
input Your field documents

Handwritten scans, photos, paper forms — exactly as they leave the workshop, scribbles and all.

AI processing AI reading + your business rules

References, quantities, hours: extracted, then cross-checked against your rates and catalogue.

output Your official documents

Your Excel/PDF templates filled in, sent to the right people, with a log that stops any duplicate.

I know that pile of scans

Retyping costs more than it looks

  • Someone retypes paper documents into Excel by hand — 10 to 15 minutes per document. I did it for years: I know exactly what that feels like.
  • Backlogs pile up, invoices go out weeks late.
  • A misread reference, a price from memory, a document sent twice: every mistake turns into a dispute or a credit note.
  • And meanwhile, your best people are doing data entry instead of their real job.

Let's be precise

Who this is for — and who it isn't

This is for you if…
  • Handwritten or paper documents end up retyped into Excel every week
  • Invoicing goes out weeks late because the backlog keeps growing
  • Someone — sometimes you — spends 5+ hours a week on it
  • You want to keep Excel, your PDFs and your inbox exactly as they are
Not worth it if…
  • Less than 2–3 hours of typing a week: the gain wouldn't cover the cost
  • Your data is already captured at source, on a tablet or in an ERP
  • What you really want is to replace your management software — that's not my trade

How I work

Three steps, your tools, no gamble

I read your documents with AI

Handwritten scans, site photos, forms: AI extracts the data — references, quantities, names, dates, signatures. Even when a rushed mechanic wrote it.

I cross-check against your data

Rates, parts catalogue, staff: everything is checked against your own databases. And when something is ambiguous, the system asks you instead of guessing. That's my number one rule.

Your documents go out on their own

Your own Excel or PDF templates are filled in, then sent to the right recipients with an anti-duplicate log. You change neither software nor habits.

what happens while you do something else

From handwritten scan to document sent

This is the path every document follows, exactly as it happens at my first client. A scan goes in, a verified official document comes out.

Running for real, since 2026

My first client: a railway maintenance workshop

Every intervention there produces a handwritten repair order: parts, labour, vehicle, signatures. Everything used to be retyped by hand — backlogs of 50 to 150 documents. Today, the system I built does the heavy lifting, and a human keeps the final say.

A batch of 57 repair orders, which used to mean two days of retyping, is now delivered in a single session — checked document by document.

Who I am

I don't sell magic — I fix a problem I had myself

My name is Deepak Ramguttee. For years, retyping workshop documents was part of my daily routine: handwritten repair orders, references to decipher, prices to find, backlogs piling up.

One day I'd had enough and built a system to automate my own job. AI reading the scans, cross-checking against the rate database, filling the official template. It worked beyond my expectations — two days of work now fits into one session, and nothing goes out unchecked.

That system, proven on hundreds of real documents, is what I now adapt for industrial SMEs. I'm not an agency with salespeople: you talk directly to the person who builds it — and who did your job before you.
