Executive Summary
SKY Airline, one of the region’s leading low-cost carriers, faced an urgent compliance challenge: the government required detailed audit data to verify flight hours, maintenance records, and fuel usage. With thousands of documents piling up and a small non-technical team, SKY needed a way to extract, organize, and submit accurate data, fast.
In partnership with Veryfi, SKY implemented a no-code document automation workflow using ADocs and Workflow, connecting Google Drive, JSON outputs, and Google Sheets. Within just two weeks, the team reached over 90% data extraction accuracy and processed 24,000 documents in the first month, clearing a one-year audit backlog in record time.
Company Background
Founded in Santiago, SKY Airlines operates domestic and regional routes across South America and is known for its lean, cost-efficient model. As part of its operations, SKY must maintain detailed records, receipts, invoices, maintenance logs, to comply with national aviation authorities.
However, manual documentation processes made compliance audits slow and error-prone. Each audit cycle required reconciling thousands of paper and digital files to prove fuel usage, flight time, and maintenance schedules, a resource-intensive process for a small team without engineering bandwidth.
The Challenge
When SKY’s accounting team faced an unexpected government audit, they realized their systems weren’t built for scale. They had:
- Flight logbooks without structured digital data
- No in-house developers to automate document handling
- An immediate requirement to prove compliance to regulators
Initially, SKY reached out to Veryfi to process invoices and receipts via the API. But during onboarding, the audit request shifted the project’s urgency and scope: they needed to digitize and verify every maintenance and flight logbook entry, thousands of documents, under tight deadlines.
The Solution: ADocs + Workflow Integration
Veryfi’s team created a customized blueprint using ADocs (for structured document extraction) and Workflow (for end-to-end automation). The solution was designed specifically for SKY’s non-technical team to manage with zero code.
How it works:
- SKY’s team uploads their flight and maintenance documents to Google Drive.
- Veryfi ADocs automatically extracts key data fields, flight number, date, route, fuel consumption, maintenance status.
- The extracted data is converted into JSON and populated into Google Sheets for easy review and reporting.
This automated workflow transformed what used to be hours of manual entry into a seamless, auditable process.
Implementation highlights
- Proof of concept built in 2 weeks
- Achieved 90%+ accuracy from day one
- Zero-code configuration: no IT involvement required
Results
The results were immediate and measurable:
- 24,000 documents processed in the first month
- 13,000 in the first week of October
- 1 year’s worth of audit data completed in 30 days
- 20,000+ documents/month ongoing throughput
- Signed a 3-year contract after POC success
With Veryfi’s ADocs + Workflow, SKY’s team eliminated manual data entry, reduced audit prep time by over 90%, and built a repeatable system for compliance, without hiring additional technical staff.
Anti-Fraud & Compliance Layers
Beyond automation, Veryfi’s infrastructure ensures audit-grade accuracy and transparency:
- Metadata capture and device fingerprinting for every file processed
- Tamper-proof data extraction with JSON traceability
- Cloud-based audit trail ensuring regulators can verify data authenticity
“Every data point extracted carries a full digital trail, from upload to export, ensuring total compliance with government standards.”
Conclusion
What started as a simple invoice automation test became a full-scale compliance breakthrough. SKY Airline transformed a fragmented, manual workflow into an automated, auditable data pipeline.
In one month, they achieved what previously took a year.
With Veryfi, SKY’s team now processes tens of thousands of documents with confidence, accuracy, and zero code.
