Overview

Rossum is an AI-first, cloud-native intelligent document processing (IDP) platform designed to automate transactional paperwork. Powered by its proprietary transactional LLM, Rossum Aurora, the platform ingests unstructured documents like invoices, purchase orders, and packing lists across multiple channels. It extracts and validates data template-free, handles complex multi-way matching, and integrates with major ERP systems to drastically reduce manual entry overhead.

Founder story

Founded in 2017 in Prague, Czech Republic by AI PhD students Tomas Gogar, Petr Baudis, and Tomas Tunys, Rossum targeted structural data limitations. Recognizing legacy optical character recognition (OCR) systems were fragile because they relied heavily on templates, they built a semantic understanding layout. The platform scaled into a leading global document pipeline until its acquisition by Coupa in 2026.

What it does

• Extracts transactional document data template-free utilizing a proprietary transactional large language model
• Ingests documents across multiple ingestion routes including emails, shared drives, and PEPPOL networks
• Validates extracted line-item information against internal business rules and master data lists
• Automates communications for vendor exception handling using custom generative AI email drafts.

Who it's for

• Accounts Payable Departments
• Supply Chain Operations Teams
• Global Shared Service Centers
• Logistics and Procurement Managers

Why it works

• Proprietary LLM delivers high out-of-the-box extraction accuracy without template setups
• Continuous human-in-the-loop validation updates learning weights natively with every human keystroke
• Supports multi- Subsidiary operations with granular permission schemes and localization features
• Strict enterprise compliance frameworks including SOC2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA protocols.

Growth strategies

• Establishing turnkey operational plugin presence within major ERP system marketplaces
• Targeting high- volume transactional multi-national logistics and consumer goods industries
• Publishing authoritative validation benchmark results to capture enterprise market market share
• Accelerating global enterprise distribution channels post its strategic acquisition by Coupa
