Shipping Document Extractor

Reads bills of lading, commercial invoices and packing lists into the shipment record and checks them against each other before anything is filed.

Today's jobs

Today's export jobs, each read from its documents and put in one of three lanes

The Shipping Document Extractor on a wide screen: a dark sidebar with Jobs, Mismatches, Exports and Activity; the top bar names the fictional forwarder Charminar Demo Cargo & Customs Pvt Ltd with a Synthetic data badge and the signed-in documentation executive, Priyanka Goud. The Jobs screen shows today's figures (10 jobs in, 6 ready to file, 1 to check, 3 on hold) above the jobs list: job number with Ocean or Air, shipper and consignee, the route with its port codes, the documents in, the lane and what is waiting. Three jobs on Hold, each with one mismatch, sit at the top.The real screen, on synthetic data

The problem

The bill of lading says 1,240 kilograms, the packing list says 1,420, and nobody notices until the filing is questioned. Documentation executives spend their day keying these documents in.

Try to break it

On the call we'll trigger these, live:

  • Weights differ between two documents. The shipment is held with both figures shown.
  • A scan is blurred. The fields it can't read are marked for a person.
  • The same invoice is uploaded twice. It's stored once.

What our tests measured

How we test

These figures come from test runs on Google's Gemini (gemini-3.5-flash-lite), a hosted model, on synthetic data. We'll add runs on a local model.
