MVP
Start small: MVP first
- Intake from one primary channel such as a shared operations inbox
- Classification and extraction for two core document types
- Validation against TMS shipment references and required fields
- Logistics company exception queue with approve, reject and correct actions
- Posting approved data to TMS or ERP with document attachment linkage
Scale
Scale later
- Additional document types: customs, delivery notes and rate confirmations
- Partner-specific template libraries with version management
- Straight-through processing for high-confidence extractions
- Integration with freight claims and dispute workflows
- AI agent workflows for follow-up emails and missing document requests
Common questions
Which logistics documents can you process?
Common examples include BOL, POD, invoices, customs documents, delivery notes and operational forms, depending on your formats and validation rules.
Do humans still review extracted data?
Yes. 4RTY designs review paths for low-confidence extractions and exceptions so automation supports logistics companies rather than bypassing them.
How do you measure extraction accuracy?
Pipelines track field-level confidence, logistics company correction rates and straight-through processing volume so teams can tune rules and models over time.
Can this connect to our existing TMS and finance tools?
Yes. Approved extractions post through APIs, CSV or EDI patterns aligned to how your back office already enters data.
