Why Veryfi

Unlock a Wealth of Data in Shipping Labels

Every shipping label contains dozens of critical data points that logistics teams desperately need—tracking numbers, delivery addresses, package dimensions, shipping methods, carrier information, service levels, and delivery instructions—yet most warehouses, fulfillment centers, and logistics providers still rely on painfully manual processes that consume 10-15 minutes per package scan, create massive operational bottlenecks, and leave dangerous room for shipping errors. From e-commerce companies losing customer trust due to delivery delays, to third-party logistics providers struggling with package routing inefficiencies, to retail chains battling inventory tracking discrepancies, the cost of manual shipping label processing extends far beyond wasted time—it directly impacts delivery performance, customer satisfaction, and operational costs.

Veryfi’s Shipping Labels OCR API transforms this broken process by instantly extracting structured, actionable data from printed labels and digital images with 99%+ accuracy, eliminating the need for manual barcode scanning, address verification, and the endless data entry workflows that slow down shipments and create delivery errors. Whether you’re processing hundreds of packages daily or tens of thousands, our advanced machine learning technology scales effortlessly to turn shipping labels into instant logistics intelligence, helping forward-thinking organizations across every vertical—from pharmaceutical distributors ensuring cold chain compliance to automotive suppliers optimizing just-in-time delivery—stop losing time and money to manual package processing and start gaining the operational advantage that comes from real-time, automated shipping workflow optimization.
