Someone on your team is still retyping bills of lading. Send us five instead.

You get every field back as structured data with a confidence score, and anything we are unsure about is checked by a person before it reaches you. Bills of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists. Nothing to configure, because there is no template to break when a new carrier turns up.

Early access, which means a person reads every extraction before it goes back: you get a result someone has actually looked at, and we find out where it struggles. Your first five documents are free.

Cross-border trade is drowning in manual work

Manual document processing

Your team manually keys in data from hundreds of shipping documents every week. Bills of lading, invoices, and packing lists, all typed by hand.

Fragmented trade compliance

Checking tariffs means navigating 10 different government websites in 5 languages. One mistake costs thousands in unexpected duties.

Invisible supplier risk

You find out about supplier problems only after they've already hit your bottom line. No early warnings, no continuous monitoring, no visibility.

We work on the first one. Every other problem on this list depends on having clean document data underneath it, and almost nobody has that yet.

How it works

1

Send it over

Email us the document or upload it. A PDF, a scan, or a photo from your phone. Nothing to configure and no template to match.

2

We extract and check it

Every field is pulled out with a confidence score. Anything uncertain gets reviewed by a person before it goes anywhere near you.

3

You get clean data back

Structured data you can drop straight into your system, with each field scored and every doubtful value flagged. Usually within one working day.

What works today, and what does not

Bills of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin
Any carrier format, with no per-carrier template to set up
