Process shipping documents at the speed your supply chain demands

Logistics operations run on documents: bills of lading from dozens of carriers, customs declarations across 15+ countries, and receiving paperwork at every warehouse dock. Every hour spent re-keying shipment data is an hour a shipment sits waiting. DocumentIQ extracts structured data from all of these document types in a single pipeline, with carrier-specific annotations that handle format differences automatically and real-time processing that keeps pace with daily volume.

The Challenges

Carrier-specific BOL formats

Every carrier has its own bill of lading layout. The same fields — shipper, consignee, weight, piece count — appear in different positions on every template, breaking generic extraction tools.

Customs paperwork volume

Each clearance requires data from 3-5 documents: commercial invoices with tariff line items, packing lists, certificates of origin. Brokers spend more time on data extraction than on actual compliance work.

Warehouse receiving backlog

Inbound shipments arrive faster than teams can key receiving data into the WMS. Multi-day lags between physical receipt and system visibility create inventory discrepancies and fulfillment errors.

Manual TMS data entry

Operations teams manually enter shipment details into transportation management systems. At 500+ shipments per day, even a small backlog cascades into detention charges and missed delivery windows.

How DocumentIQ Solves This

Single-pass extraction across document types

Configure one field set that covers BOLs, commercial invoices, packing lists, and customs declarations. DocumentIQ extracts the right data from the right document type without separate configurations.

Annotations for carrier templates

Create carrier-specific or client-specific annotation sets that teach the AI where data appears on each template. Add a new carrier by annotating 5-10 of their documents — no code changes needed.

Chat for operational queries

Ask natural language questions across your shipment data: "Which shipments to Dallas exceed 10,000 lbs this week?" or "List all entries with HS code 8471 from the last 30 days" — no report builder needed.

Real-time processing

WebSocket-powered progress tracking shows extraction status document by document. Process hundreds of shipment documents and see results as they complete, not after the entire batch finishes.
