AI Autofill
AI fills your jobs from any shipping document
Upload a freight document — BL, arrival notice, vendor invoice — and get structured data in seconds. Not hours of manual entry. Not typos. Seconds.
From Document to Data in Seconds
Upload, extract, review, approve — the four-step pipeline that replaces hours of manual data entry.
Upload
Drop a PDF — BL, arrival notice, booking confirmation, cargo manifest, or vendor invoice.
Extract
AI reads the document, identifies fields, and matches to your master data. Seconds, not minutes.
Review
See what AI found, with partner and port matches. Anything under 75% confidence is held back, not guessed.
Approve
Approve what to keep: AI fills the job, or opens the vendor invoice as a draft. It never overwrites your entries, and every change can be undone.
Shipping Document Extraction
Drop a PDF — Bill of Lading, Air Waybill, arrival notice, booking confirmation, cargo manifest — and AI reads every field in seconds and fills your job. Review what it found, keep what is right, undo anything. Consolidation? One document creates every house bill. Or forward the PDF to the job's own address and AI updates it by email.
Supported document types
- Bills of Lading & Air Waybills
- Arrival Notices
- Booking Confirmations
- Cargo Manifests
Vendor Invoice Extraction
Vendor invoices arrive as PDFs — from carriers, port agents, customs brokers. AI reads every line, matches the vendor and house bill, and opens the invoice pre-filled as a draft. One PDF covering a whole consolidation becomes one draft per house bill. You review and submit — AI never does.
Rate Sheet Extraction
AI reads carrier rate sheets and tariff PDFs — no more manual re-keying of rate tables.
Rate Sheet Extraction
Coming SoonCarrier rate sheets arrive as PDFs, spreadsheets, and email attachments — each in a different format. AI reads the rate tables, maps charges to your structure, and populates your rate catalog. No more manual transcription.
Works With
Common questions
How do I stop re-keying bills of lading into my freight system?
Upload the BL to the job, or forward it to the job's own AI Autofill email address. AI reads the document, extracts the shipper, consignee, ports, vessel, dates and container details, and matches them to your own partners, ports and master data. Your team reviews what it found and approves what to keep — nobody types it in again.
Which freight documents can AI extract?
Bills of lading, air waybills, arrival notices, booking confirmations, cargo manifests and vendor invoices, as PDF, JPEG, PNG or TIFF. Carrier rate sheets are coming next.
How long does AI document extraction take?
Seconds for a typical document, instead of minutes of typing. A single PDF covering many invoices or house bills is processed in the background, so you can keep working while it runs.
Can AI read vendor invoices and create them in accounts payable?
Yes, as a draft. AI Autofill reads the vendor invoice, matches the vendor and tags it to the right house bill, and opens it pre-filled for review. One PDF covering a whole consolidation becomes one draft per house bill. AI never submits or posts: your team reviews and submits.
Does a person still check what the AI extracted?
Yes. AI shows what it read, with the partner and port matches. Anything it is less than 75% sure of is held back and reported rather than guessed. Nothing is written to a job until you approve it, it never overwrites a field you have already filled, and every change can be undone.
