What changes when it is logistics & supply chain

A flattened table is a destroyed table. We preserve layout structure, because a financial statement without its columns is not data.

In logistics & supply chain, your data depends on partners whose systems you do not control. That single fact reshapes how ocr & handwriting recognition has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is route and load planning, usually integrated against carrier portals. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector

Our partners send data in every format imaginable.

That is the normal starting condition and exactly what document intelligence handles, email, PDF, EDI, scanned paper, all normalised into one structure.

Can it predict delays?

Yes, where there is enough history. The usable output is a reliable exception alert with enough lead time to act, not a precise arrival time.

Does it handle Indian languages?

Yes, Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi and Odia among others. Accuracy varies by script and scan quality, and we measure it on your material rather than quoting a brochure figure.

How accurate is handwriting recognition?

Highly variable. Neat, consistent handwriting reads well; mixed or cursive is much harder. We run a sample first and tell you honestly whether it is viable.

Can you process our physical archive?

Yes, working with scanning partners for the physical capture and handling the digitisation and structuring end.
