Logistics Automation

BOL and Freight Documents, Decoded

Extract bills of lading, carrier invoices, PRO numbers, shipment details, and accessorial charges so logistics and AP teams can reconcile freight without spreadsheet cleanup.

What is BOL automation?

BOL automation extracts shipment data from carrier documents, matches it to freight invoices, and compares charges against contracted rates — replacing manual spot-checks with systematic validation. At the center of this workflow is the bill of lading (BOL), a legal document issued by a carrier that details the type, quantity, and destination of goods being shipped. Once BOL data is structured, a freight audit — the line-by-line comparison of carrier invoices against BOL details and rate agreements — can run automatically on every shipment instead of a random sample. Teams that manage this flow through a TMS (transportation management system) can feed validated data directly into their existing logistics platform for end-to-end visibility.

Common Questions

Fluxity processes PDFs, scanned images, Excel files, and email attachments. The AI handles carrier-specific formats without manual templates, even when the bill of lading layout changes.

Fluxity compares each carrier invoice against the corresponding BOL data and contracted rate rules. Variances above your threshold are flagged for review before payment is released.

Fluxity integrates with existing systems through its connector architecture. NetSuite and Odoo workflows are supported today, with additional integrations prioritized by customer demand.
