DeepRead Shipping Documents

Turn bills of lading, packing lists, and shipping manifests into clean, typed JSON — shipper, consignee, carrier, tracking/BOL numbers, containers, and itemized contents with weights — with a needs_review flag on every field. Logistics paperwork, finally machine-readable.

This skill instructs the agent to POST documents to https://api.deepread.tech and poll for results. No system files are modified.

Use Cases

• Freight & logistics — capture BOLs and manifests into a TMS without rekeying
• Customs & compliance — extract commodities, weights, and incoterms for filings
• Warehouse receiving — reconcile packing lists against received goods
• Supply-chain visibility — track containers and shipments across documents

Tips

• container_numbers as an array handles multi-container shipments cleanly.
• Recurring carrier format? Build a blueprint at https://www.deepread.tech/dashboard/optimizer.
• Check needs_review — handwritten weights/quantities are the usual flags.
