We help companies by providing transparency, traceability and real understanding of their supply chain data so they can protect their brands, remove market access barriers, and reduce operational and financial risk.
"We strive to combine technology and business domain expertise to help our customers understand compliance risks in their supply chain. We needed a way to process compliance documents at scale. Our process is to read images and PDF documents with forms, tables, and free-form text and extract data of interest from within those documents. Amazon Textract's OCR technology enabled us to extract text from documents. Amazon Comprehend's context-aware NLP APIs extracted business-specific entities and their values from the text. We also incorporated humans in our workflow using Amazon Augmented AI (Amazon A2I), to have our teams review extracted data and provide feedback to the ML models and help improve them over time. Using this efficient mix of human and machine learning along with AppSync and Amplify provided us more accurate insights into our customers' supply chain risk and saved them hundreds of hours in manually reviewing documents. They can now get immediate feedback on whether their company is at compliance risk."

Energy and Utilities
The need for energy is universal. That's why ExxonMobil is pioneering new research and pursuing new technologies to reduce emissions while creating more efficient fuels and lubricants. ExxonMobil is committed to responsibly meeting the world's energy needs.
AWS and Amazon Business digital implementations into ExxonMobil's procurement organization is enhancing its global operations and preparing them for unexpected disruptions. "We’ve worked with the Amazon ML Solutions Lab to develop a proof of concept aimed at maximizing contract utilization and further reduction of costs. One approach leverages Amazon SageMaker to improve identification of best-matched catalog items from free text entries in ExxonMobil’s eProcurement system, Smart by GEP. When catalog item descriptions are not readily available, we use Amazon Comprehend to create a bespoke classification model to map free text entries to supplier contract agreements."

Using the natural-language processing capabilities of Amazon Comprehend, the application can extract meaning from complex legal language, identify minor differences, and flag issues for caseworkers to review. By offloading manual work from caseworkers, who previously needed to compare thousands of documents each week, HMLR has doubled its document review speed and can approve property transfers faster. This solution also reduces the risk of indemnity claims: it flags discrepancies early in the application process, prompting caseworkers to resolve issues before they evolve into legal disputes. HMLR deployed a web application to automate document comparison, cutting review time by 50 percent and increased staff productivity.

Manufacturing
Siemens built an AWS survey-response processing solution that sends completed surveys to Amazon Comprehend for language identification then to Amazon Translate to execute translations. After Amazon Comprehend anonymizes any names, Amazon SageMaker detects and organizes responses into categories and topics. In addition to returning analyzed, sorted survey results at least 75 percent faster than before, the AWS solution makes the surveying program much less expensive.
“Procuring human processing and analysis of past employee surveys cost multiple euros per interview. By using Amazon Comprehend and other AWS services, we are getting translation, processing, and analysis for less than one euro per interview.”

At schuh’s support centre, the company uses Amazon Comprehend’s natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) capabilities to analyse customer emails and recognise the sentiment of the messages.The technology is so effective that it can automatically assess, for example, that 41 percent of communications contain positive or negative sentiment—long before the support team logs in. Support tickets are sorted by issue and colour-coded, then passed through to the customer care agent who can best deal with them based on experience or area of expertise. Prior to using Comprehend, prioritising queries was manual and time consuming.
“Using Comprehend to put a customer problem in front of the right person really gives us the best chance of retaining that customer going forward.”
