Businesses are drowning in unstructured data. Invoices, purchase orders, delivery notes, contracts — the sheer volume of documents flowing through modern enterprises has made manual processing a strategic liability. According to market research firm market.us, the global IDP (Intelligent Document Processing) market is projected to reach $17.8 billion by 2032 — a nearly tenfold increase from its 2022 valuation. Industry analysts now estimate that around 70% of organizations will use some form of IDP by 2026 as part of their automation and digital transformation roadmaps.
But not all IDP tools are created equal.
While most platforms offer OCR and basic data extraction, 2026 demands more: native ERP integration, AI-powered accuracy, PO matching, automated GL coding, and scalable cloud infrastructure — all without requiring a dedicated IT team to operate.
In this guide, we compare the Top 5 IDP solutions on the market today, with a clear eye on which platform delivers real-world value for finance and operations teams in ERP-driven environments.
Before diving into the tools, here are the criteria that matter most:
The verdict: The most complete, natively integrated IDP solution for Infor and SAP environments.
DocBits is far more than an IDP tool — it’s a modular AI automation platform built from the ground up for enterprise document processing. Developed by FELLOWPRO AG, DocBits combines intelligent document capture, AI-powered extraction, PO matching, automated GL coding, and a supplier portal in a single, cloud-based solution. With native integrations for Infor (LN, M3, CloudSuite) and SAP, it outpaces every competitor on the market when it comes to ERP-ready deployment.
Primary strength is in ERP-integrated environments (Infor/SAP) — teams without ERP won’t leverage the full feature set.
Smaller global brand recognition compared to legacy vendors (though rapidly growing — 205+ enterprise customers)
Finance, logistics, and purchasing teams in Infor or SAP environments who want full document automation without custom development. Ideal for companies processing invoices, POs, delivery notes, and contracts at scale.
“DocBits is more than an IDP tool. As a modular AI platform, it combines intelligent document processing, AI agents, PO matching software, automated GL coding and a vendor portal in one solution.” — FELLOWPRO AG
ABBYY is one of the most established names in document capture and OCR technology, with decades of enterprise experience. ABBYY Vantage (the successor to FlexiCapture) brings a skills-based approach to IDP, where pre-trained AI models are applied to specific document types.
Strong capture features, but lacks native ERP integration, built-in PO matching, or workflow orchestration — these require additional custom development
Enterprises focused primarily on high-volume document extraction accuracy, where ERP integration is managed separately.
UiPath integrates IDP capabilities within its broader Robotic Process Automation (RPA) ecosystem. For organizations already invested in UiPath’s automation suite, Document Understanding adds document processing into existing RPA workflows.
Requires significant RPA infrastructure and technical expertise to operate — Document Understanding is a module, not a standalone product.
Large enterprises with dedicated automation teams already running UiPath RPA who want to extend their existing workflows with document processing.
Kofax (now part of Tungsten Automation) offers a comprehensive intelligent automation platform that combines document capture, workflow management, and analytics. It’s a long-standing enterprise solution with strong adoption in regulated industries.
Higher licensing costs and longer deployment cycles make it less accessible for mid-sized businesses seeking fast time-to-value
Large enterprises in regulated industries with dedicated IT teams and existing Kofax investments who need an all-in-one automation and analytics platform.
Ephesoft (now part of Lexmark) is a document capture and classification platform widely used in back-office and shared services environments. While capable for structured document processing, it relies more heavily on supervised learning and template configuration.
Relies more heavily on supervised learning and template configuration, which increases setup time when document layouts vary frequently
Organizations with primarily structured, template-driven documents that already operate within Lexmark or SharePoint-based ECM environments.

The IDP landscape is maturing fast, and the tools that win in 2026 are those that go beyond OCR to deliver end-to-end automation natively embedded in enterprise workflows.
The tools that win in 2026 are those that go beyond extraction and deliver real business value from day one — without lengthy implementation projects, without additional middleware, and without dedicated IT teams to keep things running.
DocBits was built exactly for this reality:
For enterprises running Infor or SAP who want to eliminate manual document handling and achiev up to 80% cost reduction in document processing, DocBits is the clear choice in 2026.
