Turn retail documents into structured data.
DocLD helps merchandising, supply chain, and retail ops teams process high-volume, multi-format documents where precision matters. Parse invoices, POs, catalogs, receipts, and vendor contracts with one API — layout-aware extraction, OCR for scans, and citation-ready chunks for PIM, AP, and compliance.
Invoices and purchase orders
Vendor invoices and POs mix line items, tables, and varying layouts.
Retail teams receive high volumes of vendor invoices and purchase orders in PDF, Excel, and scanned form. DocLD parses these with layout-aware extraction and table structure so you get clean line-item and header data for reconciliation, AP automation, and procurement systems.
Use the same Parse API for PDFs and spreadsheets; Extract can pull PO numbers, dates, amounts, and line items with citations back to the source for audit trails.
Product catalogs and spec sheets
Catalogs and spec sheets in PDF, Excel, and multi-format vendor exports.
Product catalogs, spec sheets, and vendor data arrive in PDFs, Excel workbooks, and mixed formats. DocLD supports PDF, images, CSV, XLSX, and XLS with structured extraction so you get clean product data — attributes, SKUs, pricing — for PIM, e‑commerce, and merchandising workflows.
Switch formats without changing your pipeline; one API for catalogs and related documents.
Shelf labels and planograms
Shelf labels, planogram PDFs, and in-store signage as images and scans.
Shelf labels, planograms, and in-store documentation often come as PDFs or images with product codes, prices, and layout information. DocLD uses VLM-based OCR and layout-aware extraction so you get text and structure from labels and planogram docs for store execution and compliance checks.
Enable agentic mode for better accuracy on complex layouts and small print.
Receipts and point-of-sale docs
Receipts, returns slips, and POS output in mixed and scanned form.
Receipts, return slips, and POS documentation arrive in high volume as scans and thermal prints. DocLD uses VLM-based OCR with 50+ languages and table extraction so you can ingest mixed-format documents through one API. Use the async Parse endpoint and webhooks for batch processing of receipts and returns for audits and analytics.
Push parsed line items and totals into your returns, loyalty, or reporting systems.
Vendor contracts and compliance
Vendor agreements, terms, and compliance docs span long documents.
Vendor agreements, terms sheets, and compliance documentation can run to hundreds of pages with terms, SLAs, and obligations that must be retrievable and traceable. DocLD supports files up to 100MB with semantic, fixed-size, or page-based chunking so you can tune for RAG quality and context windows.
Parse returns chunks with page ranges and optional bounding boxes; Extract can pull structured fields with citations for procurement, legal, and audit workflows.
