Automated Document Sorting Pipeline for a Print Shop
A scanned-document processing system running on the client's own local server: it automatically sorts incoming scanned jobs and routes each file straight to the right printer, replacing hours of daily manual sorting.
Client

Technologies

Challenges
- •Staff spent hours every day manually sorting and routing scanned documents to production printers
- •The system had to run entirely on-premise, on the shop's own local server, no cloud dependency
- •Incoming scans arrived in inconsistent formats and naming schemes
- •The pipeline had to integrate directly with physical production printers
Solutions
- •Custom Python processing pipeline deployed on the client's local server
- •Automatic classification and sorting of every incoming scanned document
- •Direct routing of each job to the correct production printer
- •Simple monitoring so staff can see and override the queue at any time
Results
- Hours of daily manual sorting work eliminated entirely
- Runs on the shop's own hardware, one-time cost, no subscription, no per-page fees
- Staff time redirected from sorting to production work
- Full source code and documentation handed over to the client
