From five days to two hours.

Forward-deployed automation for a global logistics group, an air-cargo operation drowning in manual, twice-monthly reconciliation. We found the highest-ROI fix, quantified it, and shipped it, in under two months.

How it works

Reliability comes from the checks around the AI.

Scanned airway bills become structured data, then business rules and source-system checks validate the reconciliation. Doubtful items go to a person.

  1. Extract
  2. Validate
  3. Reconcile
  4. Review exceptions

  • Cross-check extracted data against operational records to identify inconsistencies.
  • Apply business rules to formats, value ranges and related fields.
  • Use confidence from those checks to route doubtful items for human review.

The published field note defines 97% as extracted-and-reconciled line items matched correctly without human intervention, with doubtful items routed for review. This is the result for this engagement, not a guarantee for every document.
