Customized Invoice Scanning at Acast Using AWS Textract

Imagine processing hundreds of invoices each month — paying for costly third-party scanning services, struggling with limited customization options, and watching your architecture grow increasingly complex. This was the reality for Acast until AWS Textract entered the picture. In this session, I’ll take you behind the scenes of how Acast transformed its document-processing pipeline: simplifying the architecture, cutting operational costs, and unlocking the ability to customize workflows like never before. We’ll break down how AWS Textract works under the hood, explore its limitations with real-world examples, and share practical strategies to overcome them through lightweight, clever customizations. Join me for a journey through the problem, the architecture, and the solution — a story of how the right service, used the right way, can turn a bottleneck into a breakthrough.
