Apers has a powerful unstructured data ingestion engine built specifically for real estate documents, including scanned files, unstructured PDFs, and CSV spreadsheets.

​
How to Upload Files

Uploading files to Apers is simple:
  1. Navigate to the uploading section of the system
  2. Drag and drop your files directly into the upload area
  3. Apers will automatically begin processing your files
You can upload up to 100 files at once, including whole folders and .zip archives (Apers unpacks archives on arrival). Apers will process each file individually and display its status.
You can also send documents to Apers by email, without opening the app. See Email to Apers.

​
Supported File Formats

Apers can process a wide range of file types common in real estate:
Scanned PDFs are fully supported. Apers uses OCR to extract text from scanned documents automatically.
Each file can be up to 30 MB, except PDFs and .zip archives, which can be up to 100 MB. Legacy and macro-enabled Office files such as .xls, .xlsm, .doc, and .ppt are converted to their modern equivalent (.xlsx, .docx, .pptx) on upload; macros and VBA are not preserved.

​
File Processing Statuses

Once uploaded, Apers processes your files through several stages. You can track progress by viewing the status of each file:
​
status
The file has been uploaded to Apers but has not been processed.This typically occurs when a new file is created by Apers directly. AI-generated files are not automatically processed. To process one, click its status indicator and select Process Document.
​
status
The system is analyzing the file to understand what it is and determining its data type.
​
status
Apers performs OCR (Optical Character Recognition), especially for scanned documents, to understand the structure and extract key information.
​
status
Text has been extracted from the file and Apers is about to read it.
​
status
Apers uses its AI capability to quickly read and understand the entire document.
​
status
The system failed to process the file.This can happen when the file type is not supported or if one of the processing steps failed. Click the status indicator and select Retry Processing to try again.
​
status
The file is fully processed. Apers understands the document, has compressed it, and completed OCR. Ready files show a green check mark instead of a label; click it to view the file’s insights.
​
status
The file changed after Apers read it, so its insights are being refreshed.
If a file seems stuck at any stage, click its status indicator and select Restart Processing.
