CMR module
CMR consignment note data automation
Every road shipment comes with at least one CMR consignment note -- and someone has to move its data from a PDF or a scanned document into your TMS, accounting system or a spreadsheet. The Cargo Intelligence CMR module does that automatically, in seconds, with no manual retyping.
How it works
01
Upload the document
A PDF, a phone photo or a scanned consignment note -- via the portal or the API.
02
Fields get extracted
Sender, consignee, carrier, goods description, weight, number of packages, loading/unloading places and dates.
03
Review and use
Low-confidence cases are automatically flagged for review -- nothing is ever invented in place of an unreadable field.
Who this is for
- Freight forwarders and carriers handling dozens or hundreds of consignment notes a day and currently entering the data by hand.
- Companies that need consignment note data for accounting or a TMS but don't want to dedicate a person just to that task.
- Teams where re-typing errors (weight, dates) cause downstream problems in calculations or client disputes.
What you get
- Structured data (JSON/export) ready for further use with no extra formatting.
- A confidence score on every extraction -- you know when to double-check a result and when you can trust it.
- The full shipment history in one place if the same cargo has several related documents.
Coverage
Available to freight forwarders and carriers operating in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland -- across the main Baltic-region road freight corridor.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with scanned/photographed documents, not just PDFs?
Yes. If the document has no text layer, it's processed as an image -- confidence is typically lower in that case and the document may be routed to human review.
What happens if a field is unreadable?
The field is left empty -- the system never invents values. The document is flagged for review so a person can fill in the missing information.
