Jeddah, logistics

Jeddah runs on documents, so that is where the automation starts

Bills of lading, customs paperwork, delivery notes and invoices arrive as scans, photos and PDFs in two languages. The bottleneck is reading them accurately, not predicting anything.

Read the document right and the rest of the chain follows.

Key takeaways

What you need to know, in a minute

  1. 01

    Extraction with a confidence score

    Every field carries a confidence value, so low-confidence fields go to a person and the rest flow through.

  2. 02

    Built for bad scans

    Stamps, handwriting and skewed photos are the normal case in this trade, not the exception.

  3. 03

    Charges reconcile to the shipment

    Freight, demurrage and customs charges tied back to the shipment record so disputes have evidence.

Clearance

Customs and clearance file preparation

Documents read, cross-checked against each other and assembled, with mismatches flagged before submission.
Last mile

Delivery exception handling

Exceptions grouped by cause, with the customer notified in Arabic and the follow-up tracked to closure.
Operations

Yard and fleet visibility

One view of what is where, built from the systems already in use rather than a new tracking product.
Use cases

Where this applies in practice

What usually stalls these programmes

Accuracy quoted without a sample

We test on your own documents before quoting anything, because accuracy on a clean sample means nothing here.

No exception queue

Automation without a human queue for low-confidence cases fails on the first unusual document.

Master data spread across brokers

Party, port and commodity references get consolidated first, or nothing reconciles.
