From upload to export

  1. Upload an AWB PDF, scan, or image

  2. Extract waybill IDs, airport codes, cargo totals, and charges

  3. Review ambiguous route or weight fields

  4. Export to Excel, CSV, JSON, or downstream freight systems

Handles the messy freight-document cases

  • MAWB and HAWB numbers printed in different zones

  • Low-quality airline scans and faxed copies

  • Chargeable weight tables with merged cells

  • Routing and charge codes mixed with free-text notes
