LOGISTICS INTELLIGENCE / BILL OF LADING
Extract Bill of Lading Data Automatically
Send us a bill of lading, scanned, PDF, or emailed. Mirage extracts every field your team keys in by hand and pushes it straight into your TMS, with anything unreadable flagged instead of guessed.
Built on the same document pipeline running at Transwin.
THE REALITY
A bill of lading carries every field a shipment record needs, shipper, consignee, cargo, container numbers, terms, and almost none of it arrives already structured. Someone still opens the scan, reads it, and types it into the TMS by hand.
WHAT MIRAGE DOES
From scanned document to structured shipment record
Reads any format, master or house bill
Scanned paper, PDF, or emailed bills of lading are all read the same way, extracting shipper, consignee, vessel or truck details, container and seal numbers, cargo description, and freight terms.
Flags what it can't read with confidence
A confidence score is attached to every extracted field. Handwritten entries, unreadable scans, or missing data are routed to a person instead of silently guessed at.
Pushes structured data into your TMS or WMS
Extracted fields land in CargoWise, Descartes, Magaya, or whatever system you already run, as structured data ready to use, not a PDF someone still has to open.
THE OUTPUT
Every field, extracted and confidence-scored
| Field | Extracted Value | Confidence | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consignee | Transwin Logistics SARL, Casablanca | High | Pushed to TMS |
| Container No. | MSKU-7714203 | High | Pushed to TMS |
| Cargo Description↳ A fold in the scanned document obscures part of the cargo weight, flagged for a person to confirm rather than pushed at low confidence. | Fertilizer, bulk, 24,000 kg | Low: partially obscured scan | Routed for review |
| Freight Terms | Prepaid | High | Pushed to TMS |

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Shipper, consignee, notify party, vessel and voyage or truck and trailer, container and seal numbers, cargo description, weight, and freight terms, the same fields your team keys in by hand today, read directly from the document.
Yes. Scanned paper BLs, PDFs, and emailed copies are all read the same way. Handwritten fields are extracted with a confidence score; anything below your threshold is flagged for a person to confirm rather than guessed at.
No. Both are read the same way, and if you work with freight forwarders who issue house bills against a master, Mirage extracts both and keeps the relationship between them rather than treating each as unrelated.
Extracted fields push directly into the TMS or WMS you already use, CargoWise, Descartes, Magaya, or others, as structured data, not a PDF attachment someone still has to open and re-type.
It's flagged rather than left blank or guessed. Missing consignee information, an unreadable container number, or a torn scan all route to a person with the rest of the document already extracted around the gap.
Yes, when both documents are available. Cargo description, weight, and container numbers on the bill of lading can be checked against the original booking or the commercial invoice to catch mismatches before they cause a customs hold.
4 to 6 weeks to a production deployment: indexing a sample of your actual bill of lading formats first, then a parallel pilot on real incoming documents before anything is fully automatic.
Pricing starts with a fixed-price pilot run on a real batch of bills of lading, so you see the extraction accuracy before committing to anything larger. After that, it moves to an annual subscription priced by volume, quoted in your first conversation with us.
