What is Bill of Lading OCR?

Bill of lading OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that enables the automatic extraction of data from bill of lading documents. A bill of lading is a crucial document in international trade, and OCR technology makes it easier for businesses to extract valuable information, such as the consignor, consignee, and product descriptions, from these documents. With bill of lading OCR, businesses can streamline their operations, reduce manual errors, and improve their supply chain efficiency.

Bill of lading OCR also improves data accuracy by eliminating errors that may occur during manual data entry. Businesses can easily manage large volumes of shipping documents, track their shipments in real-time, and improve their overall supply chain management. Additionally, businesses can reduce the risk of fraud, improve their compliance with trade regulations, and enable more efficient AP workflows.
