Automated Email and Doc Reader

Part of the Logistics

Reads the operations inbox every minute, classifies each RFQ, BOL, POD or COI, extracts the fields with OCR and creates or updates the load in the TMS.

Logistics
The context

Every inbox document gets typed in by hand today

Every RFQ, BOL, POD or rate con landing in the operations inbox is read and typed into the system by hand. The team spends two to four hours a day on that entry, across fifty to two hundred documents. The cost is double: operator hours and typos that break the Q2C.

The solution

The load gets created without typing the doc at all

The agent reads the inbox every minute, classifies the type and extracts the fields with OCR. If confidence clears the threshold, it creates or updates the load in the TMS with a link to the source email; if not, it sends it to the operator queue. No manual entry.

Key capabilities

What the agent does in your operation.

  • Inbox reading

    It connects by OAuth to the shared Outlook or Gmail inbox and reads each incoming email every minute, with all its attachments.

  • Classify and extract

    It identifies whether the document is an RFQ, BOL, POD, COI or rate con, and extracts origin, destination, weight, date and rate with OCR.

  • Load creation

    It creates or updates the load in the TMS with the extracted fields and leaves a link to the source email as audit evidence of each record.

  • Review queue

    When confidence falls below the configured threshold, it sends the document to a queue where the operator confirms or corrects first.
