How it works
We calculate your manual-entry burden
The tool works out the manual-field ratio per document and the total hours per month that manual entry consumes across your volume.
Get a documentation-structuring opportunity score
A blended score weighs both how much of each document is still manual and the absolute monthly time cost, so you can judge urgency.

Frequently asked questions
Does ShipmentDoc AI extract data from my actual invoices or bills of lading?
No. ShipmentDoc AI does not perform real document extraction or parsing. It computes a result only from the counts and estimates you enter manually — it is a planning calculator, not a document-processing tool.
What counts as a "structured data" field versus a manual one?
A structured field is one auto-populated from an existing system (order management, ERP, TMS). A manual field is one someone types or re-keys by hand for that specific document.
Which document types should I include?
Commercial invoices, packing lists, delivery notes, and bills of lading are common starting points — include whichever shipping documents you regularly produce.
How accurate is the hours estimate?
It is a directional estimate based on the minutes-per-field figure you provide. Actual time varies by document complexity and staff experience, but the relative comparison across document types is still useful for prioritization.
Should I average across document types or run this per type?
Running it separately per document type (invoice, packing list, etc.) gives a more precise picture, since manual burden often concentrates in one type.
