The Administrative Nightmare of Traditional Logistics

Transport managers spend up to 70% of their time on paperwork instead of growing their business. PDF invoices pile up, emails get lost, weight receipts need manual data entry, and invoice matching takes hours of detective work. Sound familiar?

The logistics industry has been crying out for a solution that doesn't just digitize processes—but actually eliminates the administrative burden entirely. That's where AI-powered transport management comes in.

8 Ways Dashdoc's AI Cuts Your Admin Work in Half

1. PDF to Transport Order Magic

Upload any PDF and watch AI instantly extract all transport details—pickup, delivery, cargo info, dates. No more manual data entry from customer documents.

Real Impact: Companies report 90% faster order creation from PDFs, eliminating 2+ hours of daily manual entry.

2. Email-to-Order Conversion

Forward transport request emails directly to Dashdoc. AI reads the content and creates complete transport orders automatically. Your inbox becomes your order management system.

Time Saved: What used to take 1.5 hours of email processing now takes 3 minutes of AI review.

3. Smart Weight Receipt Processing

Scan weight receipts and AI extracts all billing data instantly. Weight, timestamps, truck details—everything flows directly into your invoicing system without human intervention.

Accuracy Boost: 95% data extraction accuracy compared to 75% with manual entry, eliminating costly billing disputes.

4. Document Recognition & Classification

Drop any document into a transport file. AI automatically recognizes if it's a CMR, invoice, delivery note, or contract—and files it in the right place.

Organization Revolution: No more hunting through files. Every document is instantly categorized and searchable.

5. Invoice Problem Detection

AI scans every order before invoicing and flags potential issues—missing documents, incorrect weights, incomplete addresses. Fix problems before they become disputes.

Error Prevention: 80% reduction in invoice disputes through proactive problem detection.

6. Automated Invoice Validation

Perfect orders get automatically validated and queued for invoicing. No manual checking required—AI ensures everything is complete and accurate.

Speed Increase: Invoice processing cycles accelerate by 40% when AI handles validation automatically.

7. Subcontractor Invoice Matching

Upload subcontractor PDFs and AI instantly matches them to the right transport orders. No more hunting through files to reconcile what you owe versus what you've received.

Administrative Relief: What used to take 3 hours of detective work now happens instantly with 98% matching accuracy.

8. Intelligent Route Planning

AI simulates optimal driver schedules and minimizes total kilometers. Input your orders, get back perfectly planned routes that save fuel and time.

Efficiency Gains: 15-20% reduction in total kilometers through AI-optimized route planning.
