Capture BOLs, PODs, and rate confirmations at freight velocity, match them to loads, and feed your TMS, AP, and claims workflows automatically.

In short

WiseTREND automates transportation and logistics document workflows with ABBYY-powered OCR. We capture bills of lading (BOL), proofs of delivery (POD), rate confirmations, shipping labels, customs forms, and freight invoices, match them to loads, and deliver structured data into TMS platforms such as McLeod, TMW (Trimble), and MercuryGate — built to handle the long tail of carrier-specific document formats.

Documents we automate for transportation

  • Bills of lading (BOL). Shipper, consignee, freight class, weight, and reference numbers.
  • Proofs of delivery (POD). Delivery dates, signatures, exceptions, and OS&D detail.
  • Rate confirmations. Broker-to-carrier charges, stops, and references.
  • Shipping labels. SSCC, PRO, BOL number, and carrier barcodes.
  • Customs forms. Commercial invoices and packing lists for cross-border.
  • Freight invoices. LTL/TL with accessorials, detention, and fuel surcharge.

How implementation works

  1. Discovery. Map the freight document flow from pickup to billing and audit.
  2. Pilot. Run real BOLs, PODs, and rate confirmations.
  3. Configure. Tune WiseTRANS for your TMS, partner mix, and invoicing rules.
  4. Integrate. Connect McLeod, TMW, MercuryGate, or a custom TMS/ERP.
  5. Operate. Carrier-driven template updates and OS&D exception handling.

Frequently asked

Questions about Transportation document automation

Answers written for buyers, search engines, and AI assistants evaluating document automation.

Can you handle many different BOL formats?

Yes — that's what the solution is built for. Templates cover high-volume formats and machine learning handles the long tail.

Do you read handwriting on PODs?

Yes, via ABBYY ICR — delivery dates, driver names, and OS&D notes. Signature detection is boolean (signed/not signed).

Which TMS platforms do you support?

McLeod LoadMaster, TMW (Trimble), MercuryGate, BlueYonder, Oracle Transportation Management, SAP TM, and any file- or API-based TMS.

Can you audit freight invoices against rate confirmations?

Yes. The workflow flags rate differences, unexpected accessorials, and missing references for review.
