Embedded & ISV Partners

Embed Staple's document compliance engine inside your product and take the combined solution to market under your own brand. Using an API is not the same as embedding a capability and selling it together. The Embedded and ISV program is for software companies that want Staple's extraction, reconciliation, and validation running inside their own experience, so their customers get enterprise document-to-data without ever leaving the product. It sits alongside Technology Partners in the Technology Ecosystem, and it is the deeper of the two: a technology partner integrates alongside Staple, an ISV builds Staple in.

What You Add To Your Product

Give your customers clean, audit-ready data from the first document. Staple makes data verifiable and tamper-evident by design, so what enters your customers' systems is auditable from the start rather than trusted on faith. You embed context-based extraction across 300+ languages, intelligent handling of complex line-item tables, document tampering detection, cross-source reconciliation, accredited e-invoicing, and a per-field audit trail, on the same platform that runs across 60 countries for Fortune 100 companies. The capability that would take your team years to build and a permanent line item to maintain becomes a feature you ship in weeks.

Built To Be Embedded, Not Just Called

The platform is multi-tenant by design, so each of your customers runs as an isolated tenant with its own models, queues, rules, and data scope, kept separate by role-based access control and row-level security. Regional endpoints across Singapore, the EU, the US, and China mean a tenant's data is processed and held where its jurisdiction requires, with residency enforced at the egress boundary. You decide how much of the machinery your customers see: configure models on their behalf, or expose Staple's no-code configuration so they define new document types without a developer. The developer-level detail of this pattern lives under For Software Platforms.

The Difference: Trust That Travels

What separates embedding Staple from reselling a generic extraction API is that every output can carry a Metastructured Data envelope, a cryptographically signed record bound to the data itself. Each field travels with its provenance, its proof, and its residency policy, so your customer's auditor can verify an output independently, and residency can be enforced the moment data leaves a region. That is trust that survives every system boundary in your customer's stack, and it is a differentiator you can put in your own pitch.

Go To Market Together

• OEM, co-branded, and powered-by patterns where available, so the combined product carries your brand.

• Joint go-to-market and co-sell, with access to marketplace and procurement channels.

• A defined product, security, support, and commercial responsibility model, so ownership is clear on day one.

• Joint roadmap governance, so the embedded engine evolves with your product rather than diverging from it.

A Shipped Example

A European KYC technology provider embeds Staple to onboard new document types, proof of address, bank statements, utility bills, and payslips, across multiple languages with no code, and takes the combined solution to its own customers behind its own interface. Staple also runs behind other vendors' platforms, for instance providing extraction and closed-loop posting inside the Yonyou BIP and OA products. In each case the partner owns the product and the customer relationship, and Staple runs the verified first mile underneath, invisibly.

Why Build It In Rather Than Build It Yourself

Most software teams can prototype extraction with a large language model in a week, which is exactly why the decision looks easy and rarely is. The week gets you reading a clean document. What it does not get you is everything after extraction: provenance a regulator will accept, tamper-evidence, cross-border residency controls, accredited tax-authority connections, and the ongoing work of keeping up as e-invoicing mandates and AI rules change across jurisdictions. Building and maintaining that in-house is an open-ended engineering commitment that competes with your actual roadmap, and it carries a quiet risk: it breaks when the engineer who built it leaves. Embedding an adopted standard puts a compliant, supported pipeline in your product in weeks, and it keeps working, under a predictable commercial model, long after any individual moves on. For an ISV, that is the difference between shipping a feature and acquiring a liability.

Scope

You own the product experience and the customer relationship; Staple provides the embedded engine, the security model, and joint roadmap governance. Staple does not front-end your users, take over your customer relationship, or require you to change your data model. It is the trust layer inside your product, not a competing product that shows up in front of the customers you worked to win.
