Utility bills such as electricity, water, gas, and telecom statements contain essential information used in accounting, underwriting, identity verification, and ESG reporting. But extracting this data manually is time consuming and error prone. DocuClipper automates the process, turning messy PDFs and scanned documents into clean, structured data in seconds.

What Is DocuClipper?

DocuClipper is a document parsing tool that automatically extracts structured data from financial documents. It works with PDFs, scanned images, and email attachments, supporting a wide range of formats and layouts.

When applied to utility bills, DocuClipper captures key information including:

  • Account holder name

  • Billing address

  • Billing period

  • Usage (kWh, gallons, etc.)

  • Charges and fees

  • Total balance and due date

This data can then be exported to Excel or integrated with accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero.

How It Works

First, users upload their utility bills via the dashboard, email-to-upload, or cloud integration. DocuClipper immediately processes the file using OCR and AI-trained models.

Next, it extracts key fields and presents them in a structured table. Users can review the data and export it to CSV, Excel, or send it automatically through Zapier, Make.com, or DocuClipper’s API.
