POD-Exception Sorter

Reads PODs, bills of lading, and packing lists as they arrive, extracts the fields, checks each consignment against the manifest for missing signatures, GPS mismatches, and docket errors, and pushes the clean ones into the TMS while routing exceptions to a review queue — never closing or invoicing a consignment on its own.

How it would work

One agent, grounded in your library, with citations on every paragraph.

The problem it solves

A single shipment throws off seven to ten documents — bills of lading, PODs, packing lists, customs forms — arriving as PDFs and email attachments. The mechanism is consistent: ops staff re-key them into the TMS by hand, losing up to half a day to transcription, while crumpled dockets, missing signatures, and GPS mismatches between the POD photo and the delivery address sit in the pile until an invoice is disputed.

This pattern watches the inbox and document folders, extracts the fields from each document, and checks every consignment against the manifest — signature present, coordinates within range of the delivery address, docket number matching the line. Standard documents flow through to the TMS as structured data; only the low-confidence exceptions are routed to a person, with what is missing already noted. Nothing closes or invoices without a human click.

What it would cost for your org

Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed dates.

The cost band reflects the engagement shape, not a per-feature line item. We work on fixed scope, fixed price, fixed dates — see the services catalogue for what falls inside each band.

Engagement band
A bite-sized first piece → pilot build → embedded support. Start small, scale on proof — most builds land in the pilot band.

Considering this for your org?

The honest place to start is a bite-sized first piece — one contained change, low risk. Tell us where it hurts; we’ll play it back, scope it, and show you what’s possible.
