Data Entry Automation for Logistics
Transform your logistics data entry automation with custom automation built by Harvard-educated experts. Measurable outcomes in 4-8 weeks, backed by 98% client retention.
Expected Outcomes
Measurable results our logistics clients achieve with data entry automation.
Consignment details captured and entered into TMS automatically rather than being manually keyed from booking forms and emails.
Address validation catches incorrect or incomplete delivery addresses before consignments are dispatched.
Accurate consignment data means customer invoicing can occur same-day rather than waiting for manual data reconciliation.
The Challenge
Common data entry automation challenges facing logistics businesses.
Warehouse staff manually entering consignment details from customer emails and phone orders into CartonCloud
Incorrect delivery addresses causing failed deliveries and re-delivery costs because addresses were not validated at entry
Rate card calculations performed manually for each consignment, leading to billing errors and customer disputes
Chain of Responsibility compliance data requiring separate manual entry into safety and compliance systems
Implementation
How we implement data entry automation for your logistics business.

Automatically extract consignment details, delivery addresses, item descriptions and weights from customer orders, booking forms and carrier manifests. Data is captured from EDI feeds, emailed documents, PDFs and scanned paperwork.

Populate TMS and Accounting Systems
Validated data flows into the transport management system and accounting platform simultaneously. Consignment numbers, rate calculations, carrier allocations and customer invoicing data are all linked correctly.
