🚀 Cut your administrative workload from 8 hours to 8 minutes with Dashdoc’s AI automation

Transport operations shouldn’t feel like paperwork triage.
But today, many transportation managers spend up to 70% of their time buried in admin tasks instead of running and growing their business.

PDF invoices pile up.
Customer emails disappear in inbox chaos.
Weight receipts require manual entry.
Subcontractor invoices need detective work.
And invoice validation feels like a never-ending loop.

Sound familiar?

Digitization alone isn’t enough anymore.
The industry needs real automation — tools that eliminate repetitive admin work, not just move it from paper to screen.

That’s exactly what Dashdoc’s AI-powered transport management delivers.
We built eight powerful AI features that turn administrative chaos into seamless, automated workflows.

Let’s break down how Dashdoc cuts your workload from hours to minutes.

📉 The Administrative Nightmare of Traditional Logistics

Most companies still rely on a messy mix of:

  • emails

  • PDFs

  • Excel spreadsheets

  • WhatsApp messages

  • manual data entry

The result?

  • lost documents

  • slow order creation

  • constant rework

  • error-driven disputes

  • hours of repetitive admin every single day

Fleets have more tools than ever — but none of them talk to each other.

Until now.

Dashdoc uses AI to centralize your data, eliminate manual tasks, and free your team to focus on what actually moves the business forward.
