Descartes launches AI-powered image document management

Descartes Systems Group has announced new AI-powered Image Document Management capabilities designed to help customs brokers, freight forwarders and logistics service providers accelerate customs entry preparation and shipment creation.

The IDM solution interprets commercial invoices, bills of lading, packing lists and related shipment documents in context, extracting, validating and preparing data that can immediately initiate customs and transportation workflows with significantly fewer exceptions and manual corrections.
