FAQs

How does Unstract handle the hundreds of different document formats from various carriers and freight forwarders?

Unlike template-based OCR systems that break when formats change, Unstract uses LLMs that understand context and meaning. Whether it’s a Maersk BOL, a DHL air waybill, or a local carrier’s handwritten POD, our system extracts the data you need without creating custom templates. When carriers update their formats, Unstract adapts—no maintenance required.

What about compliance and audit requirements for customs and dangerous goods documentation?

Every extraction in Unstract includes source highlighting and audit trails, showing exactly where each data point originated in the document. Our dual-LLM validation ensures 99.5% accuracy for critical fields like HS codes and UN numbers. The system maintains complete document lineage for regulatory audits, and you can set mandatory human review for high-risk shipments or customs declarations.

How long does it take to deploy and do we need to train it on our documents?

You can process your first documents within hours, not months. There’s no training period—Unstract understands logistics documents out of the box. Connect your document sources, define what data you want extracted using natural language (“find the container number and seal number”), and start processing. Most logistics companies go from pilot to production in 2-4 weeks.
