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.
Capabilities
Freight document automation for messy carrier paperwork
Bill of lading data capture
Upload bills of lading in any format, including PDFs, scanned images, and email attachments. AI extracts shipper, consignee, commodity, weight, reference numbers, and delivery details automatically.
Carrier and shipment normalization
Identify carrier names, SCAC codes, PRO numbers, trailer details, and shipment references from every document. Match values against your carrier master list for clean downstream reporting.
Shipment Tracking
Link BOLs to purchase orders and receipts. Track shipment status from dock to warehouse and flag missing or delayed deliveries for follow-up.
Freight invoice audit
Compare carrier invoices against BOL data and contracted rates. Catch overcharges, duplicate billings, and accessorial fee discrepancies before freight invoices hit AP.
