01
Problem
Freight documentation — bills of lading, customs forms, carrier invoices — tends to arrive in dozens of inconsistent formats, requiring a growing team of manual reviewers to reconcile it against shipment records.
02
Approach
The concept combines structured extraction models with deterministic validation rules, so every extraction is checked against known constraints before it reaches a human — and only genuinely ambiguous cases do.
03
Outcome
In this illustrative scenario, manual review volume falls roughly 78% within the first quarter after launch, with the review team redeployed to exception handling instead of routine data entry.
