Turn food and beverage documents into structured data.
DocLD helps CPG, suppliers, and food tech teams process high-volume, multi-format documents where precision matters. Parse specs, COAs, labels, compliance docs, and orders with one API — layout-aware extraction, OCR for scans, and citation-ready chunks for RAG and compliance.
Supplier docs and spec sheets
COAs, product specs, and formulations in PDF and mixed formats.
Certificates of analysis, product specifications, and formulation documents combine tables, values, and fine print where critical data lives. DocLD parses PDFs and images with layout-aware extraction and optional agentic OCR, so you get text and table structure — including from multi-level tables — in a single API call.
Parse returns chunks with page and bounding-box context, so you can build RAG and extraction pipelines that cite back to the exact spec or COA section.
Ingredient and allergen documentation
Labels, declarations, and multi-format docs from suppliers and regulators.
Ingredient statements, allergen declarations, and label copy arrive as PDFs, spreadsheets, and scanned images. DocLD supports PDF, images, and Office documents with structured extraction so you get clean data for formulation systems, compliance checks, and consumer-facing apps. Use the Extract API with schemas to pull specific fields with citations back to the source.
Use the same Parse API for labels and declarations as for COAs and specs; switch formats without changing your pipeline.
Compliance and certifications
Audit trails, certs, and regulatory docs need traceable outputs.
Food and beverage teams need to link every claim and certification back to its source. DocLD Parse returns chunks with page ranges and optional bounding boxes; Extract can pull structured fields with citations. Build RAG and agent flows that show where each answer came from, so your outputs stay traceable and audit-ready for regulators and auditors.
Run parsing and extraction in your own environment via API, with configurable presets and webhooks for batch jobs.
Invoices, POs, and order documents
Mixed PDF and Excel from suppliers and distributors.
Invoices, purchase orders, and order confirmations come as PDFs, Excel, and sometimes scans. DocLD supports CSV, XLSX, XLS, and PDF with structured extraction so you get clean line-item and header data for ERP, procurement, and reconciliation workflows.
Use the async Parse endpoint and webhooks for high-volume order document intake — no need to block on synchronous responses.
Batch records and lot documentation
Long production and quality docs with tables and signatures.
Batch records, lot documentation, and quality reports can run to hundreds of pages, with data that must be preserved and retrievable. DocLD supports files up to 100MB with semantic, fixed-size, or page-based chunking so you can tune for RAG quality and context windows.
Use the async Parse endpoint and webhooks for large documents and batch jobs — no need to block on synchronous responses when processing production or audit batches.
