Dutch AI firm Klippa acquired by SER Group: Know more

Bonn-based SER Group, a provider of Intelligent Content Automation solutions, announced the acquisition of Groningen-based AI company Klippa.

SER’s acquisition will strengthen its role as a provider of AI-powered content automation.

The combination of SER and Klippa will provide customers with a range of AI-driven content applications.

“Customers are searching for ever-smarter and more cost-effective ways to automate the understanding and processing of documents – from financial and identification documents to shipping and customs documentation,” says Dr. John Bates, CEO of SER Group.

As more companies look to automate their document processes for better efficiency and productivity, the IDP category is growing rapidly, supported by advances in deep learning and generative AI.

By merging Klippa’s IDP capabilities with SER’s Doxis platform, the goal is to improve digital transformation efforts and achieve cost savings for organisations.

He continues, “With this acquisition, we are adding Klippa’s intelligence to the Doxis platform to create the most comprehensive next-generation, AI-powered ECM and IDP offering available to enterprises today.”

A brief about Klippa

Klippa was founded in 2015 by Bart-Jan Maatman, Robert-Jan Verheggen, Jeroen Bobbeldijk, and Yeelen Knegtering.

Since its inception in 2015, the company has grown significantly and helps companies like Eurofins, SNCF, and Siemens save time and reduce costs.

Its product — DocHorizon, is a cloud-based platform that automates document-related workflows.

Users can design AI workflows and connect them to data across different applications.

The Dutch company is also recognised as a Peppol-certified provider for electronic invoice processing. After its acquisition, these features will be integrated into Doxis and developed as a separate platform.

“Joining forces with SER Group represents a huge growth opportunity for Klippa,” says Yeelen Knegtering, CEO of Klippa. “By bringing our solutions together, we will unlock new use cases and provide even higher automation rates to enterprise customers around the globe. The next phase of this journey is incredibly exciting.”
