Document parsing for logistics and warehousing
Freight paperwork arrives as scans, from everyone, in no agreed format — and then has to be findable six months later. ParseForMe reads bills of lading, packing lists, delivery notes and purchase orders into one register with the references, parties, dates and quantities filled in, so a query is a search rather than a walk to the filing cabinet.
Covers the 3 document types this trade actually runs on.
Where the time goes
Where the hours go in Logistics & warehousing
Bills of lading, packing lists and delivery notes arrive with the freight and get keyed in a second time afterwards. ParseForMe reads them into rows — reference, carrier, dates, weights and item lines — so what arrived can be checked against what was ordered while the driver is still there.
How shipping document parsing worksA PO lands as a PDF and someone keys every line into the system before the warehouse sees it. ParseForMe returns each line as a row with its code, quantity, unit price and total — so picking runs off data rather than off a printout, and the typos that come free with re-keying do not.

Document data extraction for the paperwork this trade runs on
Each type has a purpose-built extraction schema. Follow a link to see exactly which fields come back and how they export.
How it works
What the work looks like once it is automated
Batch a day’s paperwork at once
Scan or photograph the pile and drop it in one go rather than one document at a time.
Multi-page documents stay whole
A packing list running over several pages comes back as one continuous record, not a fragment per page.
Export a register you can search
One row per document with the reference numbers filled in — the file becomes the index you go to when a customer asks.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Will it read a carrier’s scan quality?
Scans and phone photos go through the same pipeline as digital PDFs. Quality still matters — a flat, sharp scan reads better than a skewed photo — and anything the parser is unsure about is flagged rather than guessed.
Can it match delivery notes to purchase orders?
It extracts the reference numbers from both so they can be matched in your spreadsheet or system. ParseForMe structures the documents; the matching rule stays yours.
What about documents from a carrier we have never used?
Nothing to configure. The type is detected per document and read against its schema, so a new carrier’s layout is not a new setup job.
