Transform How You Handle Bills of Lading

A Bill of Lading (BOL) is a vital document in logistics and supply chain management, serving as a legal contract, a receipt of goods, and a document of title between shippers and carriers. Traditionally, BOLs exist as paper documents or unstructured digital files, making them difficult to process efficiently.

BOLs received in unstructured formats, such as scanned PDFs or images:

Are not machine-readable, making navigation and searching difficult.
Prevent automated data extraction and integration with company systems.
Require manual data entry, increasing the risk of errors and inefficiencies.

An Electronic Bill of Lading (eBOL) converts these documents into structured, machine-readable formats, enabling automation, faster processing, and seamless data integration.

Automating Bill of Lading (BOL) processing eliminates errors, reduces delays, and saves resources by streamlining the creation, signing, exchange, and storage of documents. By leveraging AI-powered data recognition, structured data extraction, and direct system integration, it ensures accuracy, speed, and compliance throughout the shipping process.

DocStudio streamlines BOL handling in two main ways:

Recognizing and extracting data from existing unstructured Bills of Lading (in image, PDF, or paper format).
Fully digitizing the BOL process—from creation and exchange to integration and storage.
