Logistics & Supply Chain

Drive faster freight cycles with intelligent document automation

Bills of lading, e-way bills, freight invoices, PODs and customs forms arrive in every format imaginable. DocXtract reads them all, extracts the data accurately, and posts it straight into your TMS and ERP — no manual keying, no backlog.

The Challenge

Why Logistics Document Processing Breaks Down.

Supply chain operations run on documents — and the documents rarely cooperate. Three problems stall most automation efforts.

Endless Format Variety

Every carrier, 3PL, freight forwarder and shipper uses a different layout. Bills of lading, manifests and freight invoices arrive as scans, photos, EDI printouts and emailed PDFs — breaking template-based OCR on the long tail of formats.

High Volume, Tight Timelines

Shipments do not wait. When document volume spikes with seasonal peaks or new lanes, manual data entry creates backlogs that delay dispatch, billing and reconciliation — and hold up cash tied to proof of delivery.

Disconnected Systems

Data trapped in documents has to reach the TMS, WMS, ERP and accounting systems. Point OCR tools rarely integrate cleanly, leaving partial automation that still needs people to rekey and reconcile across systems.

Use Cases

The logistics documents teams automate most.

These are the document types where supply chain operations see the strongest pull for automation — starting with the one that drives the most demand from logistics teams.

Bill of Lading

Used in roughly 80% of global trade transactions and still largely processed by hand. Extract shipper, consignee, carrier, cargo and charge details from scanned, faxed or annotated BoLs — regardless of carrier layout.

Proof of Delivery

PODs gate your billing. Capture, verify and route delivery confirmations automatically — including handwritten and mobile-photo PODs — so invoices go out faster and disputes are resolved with timestamped data.

E-Way Bills

Extract and reconcile e-way bill data against invoices and shipments so compliance and movement records stay aligned without manual cross-checking.

Packing Lists & Manifests

Capture piece counts, weights, SKUs and carton details from packing lists and shipping manifests to keep inventory and shipment records accurate from dispatch onward.

Customs & Trade Documents

Extract data from customs declarations, commercial invoices and rate confirmations to speed clearance and keep cross-border shipments moving without manual document chasing.

The Solution

A Complete Logistics Automation System — not just another tool.

End-to-end logistics document automation needs three layers working together: workflow orchestration, intelligent document processing, and system integration. We deliver all three as a single, implementation-backed solution.

Layer 01

RPA & Agentic Automation

Layer 02

DocXtract — Intelligent Document Processing

Layer 03

Integration into Native Systems (TMS, WMS & ERP)

RPA & Agentic Automation

Orchestrates the end-to-end workflow — document capture from email and portals, validation routing, exception mapping, and posting into your TMS and ERP.

Automation Layer

DocXtract — Intelligent Document Processing

The AI extraction engine at the heart of the solution. Reads every logistics document the way a person does, understands the context, and delivers accurate structured data to the workflow in a blink — regardless of carrier or format.

AI Layer

Integration into Native Systems (TMS, WMS & ERP)

Validated data integrates directly into your transport management, warehouse and ERP systems through pre-built connectors and a simple REST API.
