Help & Instruction Manual

For clients and administrators. Print this page for a paper manual.

1. Deployment (Administrator)

Install the Nexa Extract processing engine on a Windows or Ubuntu server inside the client network. The engine runs OCR and AI models locally. Staff access this interface via browser at the server’s IP address (e.g. http://192.168.1.50:8080). No internet required for core processing.

2. Connect

Open the interface in any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari). Enter the server IP on the Dashboard if prompted. The connection is local — documents never leave the client’s infrastructure.

3. Upload Documents

Go to Intake. Drag-and-drop or select files. Supported formats include PDF (multi-page), images, CSV, TXT, and common Office formats. Multiple files can be processed in one batch.

4. Select Fields

In Fields, choose a document type or build a custom set (max 20). Common fields: Invoice Number, Supplier VAT, Supplier Address, Receiver Details, Date, Subtotal, VAT Amount, Total (Rand), Product Lines, PO Number, Proforma Number, Waybill Number, POD Reference, etc. Save the configuration — it persists for future batches.

5. Process & Review

Run extraction. Review the results table. Correct any values. Confidence scores help prioritise checks. Original documents remain on the client server; only extracted structured data is produced.

6. Output

Export to Excel-compatible CSV, JSON or PDF. Or send via webhook, Google Sheets, SharePoint, OneDrive, SFTP or local folder. OAuth logins are performed by the client — Nexa never stores credentials or document content.

7. Retention & Deletion

Retention periods are set by the client according to their legal obligations (tax, Companies Act, etc.). The system supports configurable retention and verified deletion. Nexa, as operator, processes only on instruction and retains no client data.

South African Compliance

Designed for POPIA, tax record rules and related legislation. This is guidance, not legal advice.

POPIA (Act 4 of 2013)

Nexa acts as operator. Client is responsible party. Written operator agreement required covering security (s19), processing only on instruction, and immediate breach notification (s21). No personal information is retained by the provider.

Retention

Tax Administration Act & VAT Act generally require 5 years for specified records. Companies Act s24 provides 7 years for certain company records. Client configures retention per record type. System supports deletion verification.

Security & Incidents

Encryption in transit and at rest on client infrastructure. Audit logs. Incident response process: operator notifies responsible party immediately. Responsible party has s22 obligations.

Other Laws

PAIA access procedures, ECTA electronic records, Cybercrimes Act, Consumer Protection Act disclosures. Cross-border processing (if any) requires s72 assessment. Default recommendation: keep processing inside South Africa or on client servers.

Hugging Face & Model Usage

Platform is independently branded. Compatible open-source models (including Hugging Face ecosystem where licences allow) may be used. Hosted Inference Endpoints currently run in US/EU regions and retain logs for 30 days — not recommended as default for confidential South African documents. Prefer local model deployment.

Service Plans

Software, deployment, model management, support and updates. Not a pure Hugging Face resale.
