Turn logistics and supply chain documents into structured data.
DocLD helps freight, warehousing, and supply chain teams process high-volume, multi-format documents where precision matters. Parse bills of lading, packing lists, invoices, and customs docs with one API — layout-aware extraction, OCR for scans, and citation-ready chunks for TMS, WMS, and compliance.
Bills of lading and shipping documents
BOLs, waybills, and shipping docs mix tables, handwritten fields, and mixed formats.
Bills of lading, waybills, and shipping documents combine structured tables with handwritten fields and vendor-specific layouts. DocLD parses PDFs and images with layout-aware extraction and optional agentic OCR, so you get text and table structure — including from multi-section BOLs and carrier forms — in a single API call.
Parse returns chunks with page and bounding-box context, so you can build extraction pipelines that feed TMS, WMS, or customs systems with traceable source references.
Invoices and packing lists
Supplier and carrier invoices, packing lists, and ASNs in PDF and spreadsheet form.
Invoices, packing lists, and advance shipping notices often arrive as PDFs or Excel files with varying layouts. DocLD supports CSV, XLSX, XLS, and PDF with structured extraction so you get clean line-item and header data for reconciliation and system updates.
Use the same Parse API for spreadsheets as for PDFs and images; switch formats without changing your pipeline.
Customs and compliance
Trade and customs docs demand traceable outputs for audits and regulations.
Customs declarations, certificates of origin, and trade documentation require linking every extracted value back to its source. DocLD Parse returns chunks with page ranges and optional bounding boxes; Extract can pull structured fields with citations. Build flows that show where each value came from for customs audits and compliance reviews.
Run parsing and extraction via API in your own environment, with configurable presets and webhooks for batch intake.
Long manifests and batch processing
Shipment manifests and daily document volumes span large files and high volume.
Manifests, consolidated shipment lists, and daily document intake can run to hundreds of pages or thousands of files. DocLD supports files up to 100MB with semantic, fixed-size, or page-based chunking so you can tune for retrieval and system integration.
Use the async Parse endpoint and webhooks for large documents and batch jobs — no need to block on synchronous responses.
Scans and handwritten forms
Delivery receipts, dock forms, and handwritten BOLs and waybills.
Delivery receipts, dock receipts, and signed BOLs often arrive as scans or mixed handwriting and print. DocLD uses VLM-based OCR with 50+ languages, auto-detection, and table extraction. Enable agentic mode for better accuracy on complex forms and handwritten fields.
Push parsed shipment and proof-of-delivery data into TMS, WMS, or your own systems via a single ingestion pipeline.
