Our Story
Xtracta’s roots were sown long before the company took shape. As the IT Manager and an end customer of automated data extraction software at a scanning bureau, Xtracta Founder and CEO, Jonathan Spence became frustrated with the lack of innovation in the available software. Coupled with this was the high cost and length of deployment associated with templating documents and the extreme high complexity of the software.
Driven by the desire to make great quality, innovative software that was easy to use, easy to deploy and low cost, Jonathan started Xtracta in 2010 to develop the cloud-based, licensable technology that is available today. Today, the company boasts a world-class Artificial Intelligence (AI) research team who bring together their vast academic knowledge – several of whom hold PhDs in this specialist area – and commercial experience from around the world.

Our global customer base, with presence in every continent, is testament to the calibre of our product and we are proud to have the likes of MYOB, Microsoft, Sage, Xero and Oracle as integration partners.
Xtracta has been performing R&D in the AI space for many years – long before its emergence as a new technology trend. As AI pioneers we are challenging the status quo of traditional optical character recognition (OCR) technology and processes and opening up opportunities traditionally only available for large business. We have made touchless data capture an accessible and cost effective option for organisations of any size.
Where some companies are starting to talk about developing AI solutions, Xtracta has been delivering robust AI based products to the market for years.
