An AI workflow automation platform for document preparation. ### AI extraction Data read from incoming documents and structured automatically. ### Deterministic rule engine Business rules turn the extracted data into the output, the same way every time. ### Consistency checks Checks built in, replacing error-prone manual handoffs. ## What else we can build for field operations. Capabilities we offer. We have not delivered these in this industry yet. ### Job reports Notes and photos from the field turned into structured reports. ### Scheduling support Jobs, crews and parts matched, with conflicts flagged for dispatchers. ### Compliance records Certificates and inspection records captured and checked for gaps. ### Field assistant Answers from manuals and procedures on a phone, with links to the source. ## Match the autonomy to the task. The rule engine does the repeatable work. People handle the exceptions. 1. L1**Workflow**A fixed, auditable path. 2. L2**Assistant**AI drafts. A person reviews. 3. L3**Supervised agent**AI acts and flags exceptions. 4. L4**Autonomous**Routine, low-risk, monitored. 5. Human-led**People decide**AI supports the analysis. ### Document preparation A fixed, deterministic workflow, with AI extracting the data. L1 Workflow ### Exception handling Anything that does not fit the rules is flagged for a person. L3 Supervised agent ### Operational decisions Stay with your team. The system prepares the information. Human-led ## Our field operations work, and related systems. Each result comes from a delivered engagement.

Four stages, with a working version reviewed at each one. ### Discovery Map the document workflow, the systems and data involved, and what good looks like. Discovery notes - The documents and handoffs involved - Business rules - Where errors happen today ### Scope & architecture Agree the architecture, success measures and delivery milestones. Solution design - Workflow architecture - Rule design - Success measures ### Build Build against real data, with a working version reviewed at each milestone. Working build - Working workflow on real documents - Team review - Consistency tests ### Ship & support Roll out to production with monitoring and a defined support window. Production rollout - Production rollout - Monitoring - Support window ## Why Avinya for field operations. We have automated document-driven operations in production. ### Delivered, not theoretical The work on this page is in production, with results from the engagement. ### People stay in control Human review and approval checkpoints are part of the design. ### Traceable by design Sources, audit trails and monitoring planned from the start. ### We stay after launch Monitoring, tuning and a defined support window. ## Engagement models. Pick the shape that fits where you are. Ongoing ### Dedicated team A dedicated team that works as an extension of yours, from first release to scale. Fixed scope ### Project-based A defined scope, milestones and delivery date for a specific product or workflow.

AI is good at reading documents. A deterministic rule engine makes sure the same input always produces the same output, which is what operations need. ### How much faster is it? In our delivered engagement, document preparation became about 70% faster, with more consistent output. ### What happens when a document does not fit? It is flagged for a person instead of being guessed. ### Where should we start? With one task where the data exists and the risk is contained. We map it, agree what good looks like, and build a working version you can review before anything scales. ### How do you handle our data? Access is scoped to what the system needs, with role-based permissions and audit trails where records change. We agree data handling during discovery. ## Ready to turn your vision into reality? Tell us the problem, the data, and where manual effort sits today. We'll map the path from MVP to scale.
