Extract Data from Freight Invoices Automatically

Upload any freight or logistics invoice and get carrier, shipment reference, charge breakdown, and totals extracted as structured data in seconds.

Used by logistics teams, accounts payable departments, and freight audit platforms worldwide.

Stop manually processing freight invoices for payment and audit

Keying carrier charges, shipment references, and surcharge breakdowns from freight invoices into your accounts payable system is slow and makes freight spend auditing difficult.

❌ Before ParserBee

  • Open each freight invoice and read charge lines manually
  • Re-enter carrier, route, and charge breakdown into your AP system
  • Miss fuel surcharges and accessorial fees hidden in dense charge tables
  • Process freight invoices in batches delaying carrier payments
  • Struggle to compare freight costs across carriers without structured data

✅ After ParserBee

  • Upload freight invoices via browser or API
  • Extract all charges as a structured line-item list automatically
  • Push data into your accounts payable or freight audit system
  • Compare freight costs across carriers using extracted structured data
  • Audit surcharges and accessorial fees systematically
