About Grooper

Our History Makes The Difference

Our history as a document data processing / AI acceleration company dates back to the days when microform scanning and conversion was the big deal. Though our company began in 1986, Grooper was created in 2015.

  • Financial services
  • Local, state, and federal government
  • Energy
  • Insurance
  • Technology providers
  • Higher education
  • And many others

A Big Transition

Although the decision we made was entirely our own, in some ways our hand was forced.

From the earliest days, we’ve lived by our mantra: “tackle the hardest projects that deliver the most valuable, substantial, and measurable business impact.”

Committed to doing the hard things, the crossroads we came to challenged us to do something a reseller had never been done before:

Become a software company.

And the tragedy that started it all? Failing innovation in the document capture world. Stuck with technology that couldn’t meet client demand, our choice was to either continue writing endless code to patch aging software, or start all over.

We chose to start all over and develop a software with an aspiration to match our mantra.

A Better Way to Develop Software

Two guiding principles steer Grooper’s success:

1. No Outside Funding
We believed that success hinged upon our 30+ years of experience as a data integration company – not the whims of outside investors.

2. 100% Internal Development
By building our own software development team, we would remain agile, responsive, and fully in control over all stages of product development. At no point have we ever outsourced code development.

In addition, we bring something unique to data integration:

First and foremost, we develop software that meets our own rigorous demands. We still tackle the hardest projects we can find.

But now, instead of writing add-on code, we enhance Grooper with the AI acceleration innovations that modern business demands.

Secondly, our history in the industry gives us an (almost) unfair advantage. Because we’ve been there, we know what works and what doesn’t.

The Most Important Ingredient - Our People

The most important elements of any company are it’s people. And that’s definitely true at Grooper, the wonderful folks that have brought us along this journey.

We’ve assembled a group of talented, dedicate experts who are also fun to work with. And that shows in everything we do. With an employee retention rate of over 98% and an average tenure of 9 years, we’re all committed to the long haul, and to your success.

Values: What We Believe

  • The outcome is the most important part of the journey. Following guiding principles that keep the goal in focus and filtering out the “noise” keeps projects on track to deliver value.​
  • A project should only be pursued if it’s supported by a well-reasoned business case.​
  • Transparency from all parties is essential to be effective. We work in a way that makes it safe for everyone to understand and tell the truth. When we say we can do something, we make it easy to see how. ​
  • People are the most important part of our business. We value long-term relationships with employees and with clients. We have spent over three decades cultivating trust.​
  • Coming to grips with the complexities of data is hard. Being willing to have fun while getting things done makes the process more enjoyable and sustainable.​
  • Elegance and simplicity are valuable principles in the production of creative, efficient, and sincere work.​

Grooper Frequently Asked Questions:

Why was Grooper created?

Frustrations in existing document capture software lead to the development of Grooper. We are a 40-year veteran in enterprise capture, which uniquely positions us to prepare you for reliable AI usage.

Grooper stands out because it:

  • Processes both structured and unstructured data
  • Offers highly configurable workflows
  • Leverages AI but doesn’t require it
  • Uses advanced data modeling techniques
  • Handles complex documents like tables and nested data
  • Supports on-premise and cloud deployment

Grooper is not an OCR engine. While the platform contains multiple OCR products, the benefit is that Grooper extracts better data than OCR alone.

For instance, users mostly use Azure, Transym, and Tesseract. Grooper then adds in AI image processing, lexicons, trainable OCR, and other patented tools to achieve very high accuracy on any kind of document.

Grooper was built from the ground up by BIS, a company with 40 years of continuous experience developing and delivering intelligent document solutions. Grooper is an AI accelerated intelligent document processing solution that empowers organizations to extract meaningful information from paper/electronic documents and other forms of unstructured or structured data.

The platform combines AI, patented and sophisticated image processing, capture technology, machine learning, natural language processing, and optical character recognition to enrich and embed human comprehension into data. By tackling tough challenges that other systems cannot resolve, Grooper has become the foundation for many industry-first solutions in healthcare, financial services, oil and gas, education, and government. Grooper is the engine that powers AI in many of our client’s solutions.

Choose Grooper when you need practical AI that improves document processing, validates extracted data, connects to business systems, and prepares trusted information for search, analytics, and automation.

Grooper was built to succeed where others have failed, taking on tough challenges. This platform processes and integrates massive amounts of difficult data from complex documents and architecture. Grooper brings together IDP, OCR, contextual extraction, validation, APIs, and AI-ready indexing in one platform.

If we say our system can solve a problem, it can. And we’ll show you how.

In terms of AI solutions, our expertise in document capture and AI means that you will spend less in AI token usage than other platforms.

You get 40 years experience in the evolution of document capture, patented technology and a deep understanding of the complexity and true potential of unstructured data.
