Powering document extraction for teams at
Shipping operations rely on documents between many partners.
Logistics teams sit in the middle of carrier networks, freight forwarders, customs brokers and shippers — each using different systems and document formats. In reality, this means:
-
Inconsistent BoL layouts
Bills of lading arrive in dozens of carrier-specific formats.
-
Varying freight invoices
Freight invoices vary by carrier, region and language.
-
Scans of scans
Documents are often scanned, forwarded or low quality.
-
Handwritten notes
Critical fields show up as handwritten annotations.
-
Mixed multi-doc files
Large PDFs bundle BoLs, PODs and invoices together.
-
Field mismatches
Inconsistencies delay reconciliation and downstream processing.
As document volume grows, manual review becomes unavoidable — and increasingly costly for both ops and finance teams.
Why logistics automation breaks at scale.
Shipping documents change between partners. Without built-in validation and consistency checks, teams end up reviewing manually anyway — turning automation into another bottleneck instead of a solution.

From carrier paperwork to reliable shipment operations.
Invofox supports each stage by structuring documents before any data extraction begins.
- Step 01
Intake & capture
Ingest bills of lading, freight invoices, shipping instructions, customs docs and PODs from any source — across formats, layouts and quality.
- Step 02
Document understanding & structuring
Invofox splits, classifies and analyzes layout to identify document types, tables, sections and key fields — even when layouts vary by carrier or geography.
- Step 03
Data extraction
Extract key shipping fields, line items, identifiers, totals and tables with a mix of OCRs, LLMs and layout-aware models tuned for real logistics docs.
- Step 04
Evaluation & validation
Field-level accuracy, mismatch detection and consistency checks surface errors before data enters downstream systems.
- Step 05
Ready for production workflows
Structured, validated, TMS/WMS/ERP-ready data your ops team can rely on for reconciliation, processing and downstream workflows.
Built for shipment execution, not just OCR.
Shipping workflows depend on turning carrier paperwork into reliable operational data. Invofox is built for production environments where document accuracy directly impacts shipment execution, delivery timelines and billing.
-
01 Automate document handling at scale
Not just text extraction — full document pipeline.
-
02 Schema-based extraction
Across diverse shipping and logistics documents.
-
03 Layout, structure & context
Not just raw OCR output — full document understanding.
-
04 Field-level accuracy metrics
Measure accuracy before data is used downstream.
-
05 Surface mismatches & edge cases
So workflows don't silently fail in production.
-
06 Continuously improving models
Through controlled experimentation and feedback.
Structured data that fits your existing systems.
Invofox processes shipping documents asynchronously and delivers schema-aligned, validated JSON via webhooks — reliable integration with TMS, WMS, ERP and custom supply-chain systems without rebuilding your stack.
