Upload any document — PDF, scan, or photo — and get structured data back immediately. No setup, no templates, no waiting.

How it works

Three steps from document to structured data

Upload or forward

Drag and drop files, connect a cloud drive, or set up email auto-forwarding. Any file format works—PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or digital documents.

AI reads and extracts

The AI identifies fields by context and meaning, not fixed coordinates. Names, dates, amounts, and custom fields are extracted automatically.

Export anywhere

Get structured output in Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, or JSON. Use the REST API for direct integration into your systems.

What teams are saying

“Our warehouse receives 200 shipments daily, each with its own paperwork format. Automating document extraction cut our receiving processing time from 4 hours to 30 minutes.”

The role of OCR in modern logistics operations

Logistics operations generate an enormous volume of documents at every stage of the supply chain—warehouse receipts, shipping orders, carrier confirmations, customs paperwork, and inventory records. Each document contains data that needs to flow into warehouse management systems, transportation management systems, and enterprise resource planning platforms. When this data entry happens manually, it creates delays, introduces errors, and limits the speed at which goods move through the supply chain.

Traditional document processing in logistics relied on EDI standards and structured electronic data interchange between trading partners. But the reality is that many logistics documents still arrive as PDFs, scans, emails, and even faxes—especially from smaller carriers, overseas suppliers, and legacy systems. Logistics OCR bridges this gap by converting unstructured documents into the structured data that modern systems require, without waiting for every trading partner to adopt electronic data interchange.

The operational impact of logistics OCR extends beyond data entry savings. When shipment data is captured accurately and immediately, warehouse teams can plan receiving labor, carriers can be tracked against commitments, and inventory records stay current. Lido processes logistics documents in seconds rather than the hours or days that manual keying requires, enabling the real-time visibility that modern supply chain management demands.

Supply chain leaders evaluating logistics OCR should prioritize format flexibility, extraction accuracy on quantities and SKU identifiers, integration with WMS and TMS platforms, and the ability to handle multi-language documents from international suppliers. Lido handles all of these with AI-powered extraction that works on any document layout from any origin.

Frequently asked questions

What types of logistics documents can be processed with OCR?

Logistics OCR handles warehouse receipts, shipping orders, carrier rate confirmations, packing lists, delivery notes, customs declarations, inventory reports, and any other document generated in supply chain operations. The AI reads each document contextually without per-format templates.

How does logistics OCR differ from general document scanning?

General scanning produces images or raw text. Logistics OCR goes further by understanding document structure and extracting specific fields like shipment IDs, SKU numbers, quantities, weights, and dates into organized spreadsheet columns or JSON, ready for import into WMS or TMS systems.

Can logistics OCR handle international shipping documents?

Yes. The AI engine processes documents in multiple languages and handles international formats including commercial invoices, customs declarations, and shipping manifests from overseas suppliers and freight forwarders.

How fast is logistics document OCR processing?

Lido typically processes a single logistics document in under five seconds. Batch uploads allow hundreds of documents to be processed simultaneously, meaning a full day of receiving paperwork can be digitized in minutes.

What systems can logistics OCR data integrate with?

Extracted data can feed into warehouse management systems, transportation management systems, ERP platforms, and custom databases via Excel export, CSV, JSON, or the REST API. Common integrations include SAP, Oracle WMS, Manhattan Associates, and Blue Yonder.
