Data Entry Clerk
Moves, cleans, and structures data accurately — without the typos or the tedium.
Take data from any source — documents, emails, forms, spreadsheets — and enter it cleanly and consistently into the client’s systems, validating as it goes so records stay accurate and complete.
What it does
- Extract data from PDFs, invoices, receipts, forms, and emails.
- Enter and update records in CRMs, spreadsheets, ERPs, and databases.
- Clean, deduplicate, and standardize data (formats, addresses, names).
- Validate entries against rules and flag anomalies or missing fields.
- Reconcile records across two systems and report mismatches.
- Produce tidy, import-ready files on a schedule.
What goes in, what comes out
Source documents and files, target system access, and the client’s data schema / formatting rules.
Populated and updated records, cleaned datasets, exception reports listing anything that needs review.
Tools & integrations
OCR/document parsing, spreadsheets (Excel, Google Sheets), CRMs and ERPs, databases, and file storage (Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint).
Guardrails, built in
Hard limits enforced as code — not suggestions. This is what makes it safe to run.
- Never overwrite existing records without a logged backup or audit trail.
- Flag rather than guess when a value is ambiguous or low-confidence.
- Respect data-privacy rules; handle sensitive fields per client policy.
- Run a validation pass before committing any bulk update.
When it hands off to a human
It knows the edge of its lane. It escalates — it never guesses — when:
- Confidence in an extracted value falls below threshold.
- A bulk change would affect more records than a set limit.
- Source data is corrupted, contradictory, or in an unrecognized format.
- A reconciliation reveals material discrepancies.
