Cargo manifest automation is a step forward toward optimizing your supply chain. With our IDP platform, you will streamline the part of operations that includes reading documents and getting data from them. With automaiton in place, you will significantly improve your data accuracy (compared to error-prone manual data entry). While Alphamoon’s tool helps with just a fraction of your workflow, this is a significant step that takes the weight of routine, frustrating work. On top of that, automated data extraction prevents your company from making costly mistakes – such as mixing tracking numbers, deadlines or destinations.

The platform supports common file types, including PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PNG, JPG, TIFF, and emails. After data extraction, data appears in a file, ready to be downloaded as CSV or XLSX or safely imported into the internal processing system of your choice through API or Zapier.

The recommended data set to extract from cargo manifest includes item details (e.g. name, type, quantity), weight and dimensions, shipper and consignee details, origin and desination data, bill of lading or airway bill number, custom clearance (e.g. declared value), mode of transportation (e.g. vessel, aircraft, truck). Depending on the specific contents of the documents, you can create unique labels for the data you wish to extract.
