Sample document

Usecase examples

1. Automatic data entry and system updates

   Extract shipment details (e.g., sender, receiver, cargo description, weight, dimensions) from AWBs and automatically input them into ERP systems or Transportation Management Systems (TMS). This saves time spent on manual data entry and reduces errors.

2. Customs declaration automation

   Automatically extract customs-related information (e.g., cargo description, transportation details, country codes) from AWBs to generate export/import declarations. This can streamline the customs filing process by pre-filling required fields and generating the necessary documents.

3. Freight and insurance claim automation

   Extract financial data, such as shipping costs and insurance amounts, from AWBs to automatically generate invoices or insurance claims. This can speed up billing and claims processes, ensuring accurate and timely processing.

4. Cargo tracking and status updates

   Extract tracking numbers or flight information from AWBs and automatically update cargo tracking systems. This can provide real-time updates to customers on the location and expected delivery of their cargo by integrating with tracking services.

5. Document auditing and compliance checks

   Extract required fields like signatures, dates, and carrier information to automate the auditing process, ensuring that AWBs meet legal and regulatory requirements. This helps quickly identify missing or incorrect information, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
