Shipping orders to a logistics table
Turn shipping orders and transport bookings into a table for route, date, carrier, and cargo checks.
Short story
A logistics coordinator receives transport bookings from several forwarders in different PDF layouts. Before confirming the weekly plan, the team needs the same fields for every shipment: order number, shipper, consignee, carrier, pickup, delivery, cargo, weight, and delivery terms. Rowvia.ai turns the documents into a review table.
How it becomes a table
Upload shipping order PDFs, choose the Shipping order template, and review one row per document. The table is useful for operational checks before copying data into a transport system.

Workflow
From template selection to a finished table
Rowvia prepares columns
Each output column has its own instruction, so the result is structured table data instead of a loose summary. You can adjust the suggested columns or add custom ones for the fields you need.
Add sources
Upload files, add URLs, or paste text. Each source becomes one row and waits for processing.
Run processing and review the result
During processing, you can see what is done, what is waiting, and what is currently running. After completion, you can correct cells and export the table.
Example sources
Each source becomes one row
The demo uses synthetic file names, URLs, or text-source names and results. The same principle applies to your own sources.

Output
A table ready for review and export
The output is a table that works well in Excel or another review workflow. One row represents one source and the columns describe the specific fields you want to extract. For shipping orders, this makes it easier to compare sources side by side without manual copying.
Review
What to check
Rowvia is useful for a first structured overview, review, and export. It should not replace accounting, legal, insurance, or other expert decisions, and important values should be checked against the source document.
Beyond OCR
More than reading text from a source
Ordinary OCR usually only reads text. In a shipping orders workflow, the more useful result is getting values into the same columns across several sources, so they can be compared, filtered, and handed off as a table.
