Why Does a Digitized Logistics Company Benefit from AI-based Document Processing?
Logistics and transportation companies can significantly benefit from AI-based document processing. Here are some of the key advantages and use cases:
Automated Extraction of Data Fields from Transport Documents
In summary, AI-based document capture and document processing can significantly enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and competitiveness of a logistics and transportation company. It enables better resource utilization, faster responses to customer inquiries, and overall improved operational performance. However, it is essential to ensure that the AI technology used is reliable and secure to minimize potential risks.
BLU DELTA: AI in Action with a Digital Logistics Pioneer on the Global Stage
BLU DELTA is a leader in automated document capture and processing. In a project with one of the largest logistics companies in the German-speaking region, we have tailored our models specifically for the logistics industry. The following specific use cases are the focus:
Automated Assignment of Documents to Tours
The “Tour-ID” is a unique identifier used in logistics to track transport tours and deliveries. With BLU DELTA, Tour-IDs can be recognized on documents and assigned to specific tours. This enables precise allocation of billing data to a particular tour.
Global Automated Document Capture
BLU DELTA automates the capture of invoices in various countries and regions. Our goal is to achieve a high rate of dark posting by integrating master data and using logistics-specific AI confidence thresholds. The integration of the BLU DELTA Learn API into the capture process forms the basis for a continuous improvement cycle.
Automated Separation and Classification of Documents
In regional branches, various documents are often scanned and transferred to a central system. BLU DELTA can automatically recognize different document types, including delivery documents, customs papers, and more. Seamless integration and ongoing training can continuously improve recognition rates.
Automated Extraction of Data Fields from Transport Documents
BLU DELTA can extract predefined data fields from any documents. Our system is continually fed with new training data to enhance AI models. When positive results are achieved, these models are automatically integrated into the production system.
