Challenges
Efficiently processing funding applications is crucial for grant administrators to support businesses and organizations that drive innovation and growth. Manually reviewing documents, such as the Funding Applicant Form and Payment Disbursement Forms, is a labor-intensive and error-prone process. Commonly, operators process over 1,000 documents monthly, including business registrations, bank statements, employment contracts, and Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) records for due diligence. These documents, received in various formats such as scanned images, Word files, and PDFs via email, are time-consuming to track and verify, thereby increasing the risk of errors. Adnoto, powered by Wizpresso’s advanced AI technology, transforms this workflow by automating data extraction/validation and providing a tailored AI-vetting agent for each specific case. By doing so, grant operators will be able to process applications with greater speed, accuracy, and compliance with regulatory standards.
The Importance of Efficient Grant Application Management
Effective management of funding schemes requires grant operators to handle high volumes of applications while ensuring strict eligibility and compliance standards are met. Manually extracting critical details, such as company information, signatures, and invoice data, from unstructured documents often leads to delays, inconsistencies, errors, and increased administrative workload. These inefficiencies can delay timely fund disbursement and undermine the integrity of the funding scheme. By streamlining the process with Adnoto, powered by Wizpresso’s AI, grant operators can:
- Accelerate application review and approval timelines.
- Reduce errors in data extraction and validation processes.
- Ensure compliance with regulatory and scheme-specific requirements.
- Enhance operational efficiency, enabling staff to focus on strategic oversight.
Leveraging AI to Optimize Application Processing and Payment Disbursement
Adnoto tackles the complexities of managing funding applications for grant operators. Powered by Wizpresso’s AI-driven Natural Language Processing (NLP) and document analysis, Adnoto automatically extracts, validates, and organizes key data from documents like contracts and invoices in real time, enabling operators to focus on decision-making rather than manual data processing.
Adnoto also integrates documents with a centralized platform that allows stakeholders to submit applications, monitor progress, and utilize AI-powered search and export tools. These features facilitate easy data retrieval and comprehensive report generation, enhancing efficiency and transparency throughout the funding process.
Workflow Example: Cyberport’s YSIP with Adnoto
This example demonstrates how Wizpresso’s Adnoto streamlines the grant application workflow for Cyberport’s Youth Start-up Internship Programme (YSIP), an initiative to support young talent in innovation and technology startups. Cyberport, as the grant provider, administers an HK$ 7 million fund, disbursed monthly to over 100 participating startups following thorough verification. Adnoto’s AI-powered automation transforms this labor-intensive process, eliminating errors and significantly reducing processing time for efficient and accurate fund distribution.
- Extracting Information from the Funding Applicant Form
When interns and employers submit documents to Adnoto’s platform, its NLP engine processes various documents, extracting essential data such as:
- Company name and address
- Business registration number
- Contact details
- Industry classification
It also validates supporting documents (e.g., licenses, certifications), ensuring all required information is present and compliant with YSIP guidelines.
- Analyzing the Payment Disbursement
The automated analysis accelerates initial payment approvals while minimizing errors. For fund disbursement requests, Adnoto:
- Confirms the presence of required signatures.
