# One call. Clean, structured output. POST /v1/extract { "file": financial_statement.pdf, "schema": "balance_sheet_v3", "preserve_tables": true, "ocr": "auto" } → returns { "tables": [ // merged cells + headers intact ], "fields": { "total_assets": 4820000 }, "confidence": 0.97, "markdown": "# ready for your LLM" }
The document jobs that actually move the needle
Start with the highest-volume, highest-cost workflows — the ones your team is rekeying by hand today.
KYC & onboarding
Extract identity, corporate-registration and beneficial-ownership data from passports, certificates and forms — scans included.
Cut onboarding from days to minutesFinancial statements
Pull line items and tables from annual reports, fund statements and portfolio financials into clean, structured data.
Stop analysts rekeying for daysLoan & credit files
Process high-volume credit packets and supporting documents with confidence scores and review routing.
High-volume, audit-readyContracts & filings
Extract terms, parties, dates and obligations from contracts, prospectuses and regulatory filings — formatting intact.
Cross-border, 120+ languagesGetting clean data out of a document is not a solved problem.
Teams building AI on real-world documents hit the same wall: the file looks simple, the extraction is a mess. Here's what breaks.
Tables fall apart
Merged cells, misplaced headers, columns that shred across chunks. A financial statement comes back as numerical noise your model can't read.
Reading order collapses
On multi-column and complex layouts, the footer gets parsed before the body — sentences alternate between columns and the meaning is gone.
Scans produce garbage
Plain text extractors choke on scanned PDFs, stamps, watermarks and handwriting — exactly the documents banks and legal teams deal with most.
AI parsers hallucinate
VLM-based parsers invent text that was never on the page. In finance, an extractor that fabricates a number is worse than one that leaves a gap.
You can't use the cloud
The accurate cloud APIs require shipping sensitive documents to a third party. For regulated data, that's a non-starter — and a procurement dead end.
The pipeline never ends
One tool for text, another for tables, another for OCR, glue to reconcile them. It's a maintenance burden that breaks every time a document looks slightly new.
One platform that gets it right — and keeps your data yours.
BluFlow combines layout-aware parsing, OCR and schema-based extraction in a single pipeline, built on the format-preservation engine Bluente is known for.
Tables & layouts that survive
Layout-aware extraction keeps merged cells, headers, footnotes and reading order intact across multi-column, financial and legal documents. The structure your LLM needs, preserved.
Schema-based extraction
Define a schema — KYC, financial statements, contracts, term sheets — and get clean JSON with per-field confidence scores. Low-confidence fields route to human review automatically.
Built for sensitive documents
Zero data retention, auto-delete within 24 hours, never used to train any model — on every tier, not as an upsell. SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001. Deploy fully inside your own VPC or air-gapped.
120+ languages & scanned docs
Multilingual OCR with right-to-left and Asian-script support. Photographed, skewed and watermarked documents handled — not just clean digital PDFs.
Audit-grade output
Page-level provenance, confidence scores and an immutable audit trail. Extraction you can show an examiner — not a black box that says "trust me."
One pipeline, one API
Parse, OCR, extract and optionally translate in a single call. Replace the stitched-together stack of OCR + parser + reformatter with one endpoint that plugs straight into your RAG or LLM workflow.
Financial tables that never break.
Most parsers flatten a balance sheet into numbers with no meaning. BluFlow reads it the way an analyst does — every figure tied to its line item, its period, and its sign.
| $ in thousands | FY2024 | FY2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 48,200 | 41,050 |
| Cost of sales | (31,400) | (28,900) |
| Gross profit | 16,800 | 12,150 |
| Operating expenses | (9,250) | (8,400) |
| Exceptional items | — | (1,200) |
| Operating profit | 7,550 | 2,550 |
Negatives, not noise
(1,234), ⟨1,234⟩ and red figures are read as −1,234. A dash "—" is nil; a blank is not-reported. Never confused.
Every number knows its line
Each value is mapped to its row label and its period column — FY2024 vs FY2023, Q3 vs Q4 — even under merged or multi-row headers.
Subtotals understood
Indented sub-items roll up to their parent; subtotals and totals are distinguished from line items, so the maths still reconciles.
Scale & currency kept
"$ in thousands", %, bps and currency symbols are captured and normalised — 4.2 is never mistaken for 4,200.
References stay attached
Footnote markers (¹, (a)) travel with the exact cell they belong to — not dumped at the end of the page.
Tables stitched across pages
Column headers carry across page breaks, so a statement spanning three pages comes back as one clean, continuous table.
From raw file to LLM-ready in four steps.
Send the file
API, watched folder, or upload. PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, images and scans — single files or batches of thousands.
Parse & OCR
Layout-aware parsing detects tables, columns, headings and figures. OCR kicks in automatically on scanned or image-based pages.
Extract to your schema
Pull structured fields and clean tables into the schema you define, with confidence scores and low-confidence review routing.
Ship it to your LLM
Get clean JSON or Markdown — structure preserved, ready to chunk, embed and feed into RAG or any model. No reformatting.
Built to fit your stack — API or workflow connector.
Call BluFlow as a single API, or wire it as a no-code workflow that runs the moment a document lands. Like GitHub Actions — for documents.
Why teams choose BluFlow
Most options force a trade-off: accurate but expensive and cloud-locked, or private but unsupported and DIY. BluFlow refuses the trade-off.

Comparison reflects common patterns across the document-parsing category, not any single named product.
"We stopped maintaining three separate parsers. One pipeline now handles our scanned filings and financial tables — and nothing leaves our environment."
