Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the data extraction?

Our AI achieves 95%+ accuracy on standard shipping documents. The platform flags uncertain fields for manual review, so you never push incorrect data to CargoWise.

PDF (including scanned documents), PNG, JPG, and TIFF. We handle both digital PDFs and image-based/scanned documents automatically.

How long does processing take?

Most single documents process in under 30 seconds. Complete multi-document bookings (B/L + Invoice + Packing List) typically take 5-7 minutes total.

Can I process multiple documents at once?

Yes! Batch upload entire weeks of shipments. Our system automatically matches documents by container number and groups them appropriately.
