Data extraction
The end of copy-and-paste as a job description
Bespoke pipelines that collect data from websites, portals, documents and legacy systems — cleaned, de-duplicated and delivered where you need it, automatically, every time.
Data extraction & pipelines
If a person can read it, we can automate it
Somewhere in your business, someone is copying data by hand — out of supplier portals, competitor websites, PDFs, emails, or a legacy system nobody dares touch. We build bespoke extraction tools that do that job automatically: collecting, cleaning, de-duplicating and delivering the data on schedule to your database, warehouse, spreadsheet or dashboard.
These aren't fragile scripts. We engineer for the messy reality — layout changes, logins, rate limits, malformed files — with monitoring, retries and alerting, so the pipeline you get on day one is still running on day five hundred. And we build responsibly: within site terms, data protection law and good conduct.
- Web & portal extraction — structured data collected from websites and supplier/partner portals, including authenticated ones.
- Document pipelines — data lifted out of PDFs, scans, spreadsheets and email attachments at volume.
- Enrichment — combine sources, resolve duplicates and append the fields that make the data usable.
- Market & competitor intelligence — pricing, listings and vendor data monitored continuously, not once a quarter.
- Delivery anywhere — database, warehouse, Power BI, Excel, API or a clean scheduled export.
Typical builds
What clients use extraction for
Vendor & market intelligence
Multi-source pipelines that track vendors, products and news across an industry and roll it into one clean, queryable dataset.
Back-office elimination
Supplier documents and portal data flowing straight into your systems — removing rekeying jobs measured in whole days per week.
Migration & rescue
Data lifted safely out of ageing systems and cleaned for a modern platform — often the step that unblocks everything else.
Questions
Straight answers
Is web scraping legal?
Extraction itself is a neutral tool — what matters is what data you collect and how. We design every pipeline around the target's terms, data protection law and fair conduct, and we'll tell you plainly if a source shouldn't be automated. Our guide to automating data extraction covers the ground rules.
What happens when a website changes its layout?
The pipeline detects the break, alerts us, and we fix it — usually before you'd have noticed. Monitoring and maintenance are part of the design, not an afterthought.
Can you handle scanned documents and awkward PDFs?
Yes. Modern OCR and document AI handle scans, tables and inconsistent layouts well, and we add validation rules so bad reads get flagged for a person instead of polluting your data.
