Document automation built for 3PLs

A 3PL handles paperwork for many customers at once, in many formats. Cargotek turns that flood into structured, classified, audited data — without adding headcount.

The 3PL document problem

Every customer sends documents their own way, in their own format. Multiply that across your book of business and the back office spends its day keying paperwork and chasing PODs instead of running freight. Generic OCR doesn't help much — it can't tell one customer's shipment from another's, and it can't catch an overcharge.

What Cargotek automates

  • Extracts BOLs, PODs, rate confirmations, and vendor invoices in seconds, with confidence scoring
  • Classifies each document to the right customer automatically
  • Audits vendor invoices against historical rates to catch overcharges
  • Pushes structured shipments into the systems you already run, including PCS and Expeditors

Why freight-native and multi-customer matters

Cargotek is built for the way a 3PL actually works: many customers, freight-specific fields (PRO, NMFC, accessorials attached to locations), and extraction plus overcharge audit in one place — not a generic extractor you have to wrap in your own workflow.

What is 3PL document automation?

Using AI to read, classify, and process the freight documents a third-party logistics provider handles — bills of lading, proofs of delivery, rate confirmations, and vendor invoices — turning them into structured, customer-attributed data and catching billing errors, instead of keying everything by hand.

How does it handle many customers at once?

Cargotek classifies each incoming document to the correct customer automatically and is multi-tenant by design, so a 3PL can process the whole inbound flood across its book of business in one place.
