Logistics / freight

Bill of lading to CSV, Excel and review-ready outputs.

Freight teams still receive bills of lading, manifests, proof-of-delivery scans and carrier packets as messy PDFs. DocUnlocked turns the paperwork into structured rows operators can review and import.

What gets extracted

The first objective is not "OCR text." It is a clean freight row that can move into a TMS, spreadsheet, billing queue or exception review process.

Shipment header

  • BOL or shipment number
  • Pickup and delivery dates
  • Shipper, consignee and carrier
  • Origin and destination addresses

Line and exception data

  • Commodity descriptions
  • Pieces, weight, class and charges
  • Special instructions
  • Damage, missing signature or handwritten exception flags

Workflow

1

Upload

PDF, scan or photo from dispatch, AP or carrier portal.

2

Extract

Tables, fields and notes become structured rows.

3

Review

Low-confidence values are flagged before import.

4

Export

CSV, XLSX, JSON, Word, Markdown, ZIP and summary.

5

Automate

Chrome extension or watched inbox can come after repeat use.

Best fit

Freight brokers, small carriers, dispatch teams, 3PL operators and AP teams with recurring shipment paperwork.

Caveat.
Handwriting, fax artifacts and low-resolution scans should be reviewed before downstream import.
