How it works

1Upload Bills of LadingDrop in PDFs, photos, scans of B/Ls, or a whole zip. Each page is read as one document (or pages can be merged per file for multi-page documents).
2Intelligent extractionA vision model reads every page and pulls the shipper, consignee, vessel, ports, cargo, container numbers, weight, freight terms, and other fields; any unreadable values are flagged rather than guessed.
3Download structured dataOne workbook with a Shipments sheet, plus CSVs and a JSON export — every row keyed to its source file and page, with a confidence note per document.

SHIPPING & FREIGHT
Verify cargo manifests
Cross-check B/L cargo descriptions against packing lists and commercial invoices for accuracy and regulatory compliance.
