In recent years, earnest exertions have been made to digitalize the core of logistics activities. Unfortunately, despite the efforts, humans are still at the heart of the logistic processes and perform most of the paperwork.
Up to now, humans are the only source of intelligence capable of understanding, sorting the information received and preparing them for further automation (usually, it means extracting sparse information and inputting it into proper IT systems).
Why? Three major reasons:
You can standardize the process and the flow as much as you would like, but there will always be exceptions that do not match the standard protocols: errors, minor incidents, unexpected events, and plan changes. Unfortunately, logistics means "trillions-events" flows, and even a tiny percentage of exceptions lead to thousands of manual tasks.
How? So far, via mail, written reports, and messaging, using the only "flexible agent" possible. The human being.
The unavoidable format proliferation. Each player uses their format, and since the activity and the exceptions are unpredictable, the data format may change from time to time. So forget about comprehensive business-to-business standardization (it never worked).
Moreover, suppose you try to identify a standard template. In that case, you must collect the agreement from multiple actors involved, anyone with his micro-need and perspective, to not mention that this means just moving the problem along the chain, not solving it.
The primary example is the shipping note document: shared contents, similar information between the various players, but many different formats to be read and uploaded.
Some of the document has to be on paper by regulation and legislation. Custom Documents must follow the goods, they have a certain level of digitalization, but still, no standard formats apply everywhere. Because of that, the import/export workflow is still a highly complex matter and a "document-based machine".
KAPTO has robust answers to the automation issue of complex processes as the logistics ones.
KAPTO sorts out, categorizes, and identifies all the various types of documents. It means no more need to have humans receive the documents and distribute them among the different specialist players.
KAPTO extracts any content from any format without any format and template constraints.
KAPTO check and verify the information it understands and extracts with company systems.
KAPTO autonomously manages the exceptions as wrong or missing data, requesting the appropriate correction.
When everything is ok, KAPTO uses the data to feed other processes that need structured data.
Is there a complex project behind all of it?
Not at all. KAPTO does not need any specific customer-specific development. The KAPTO's ecosystem of AI models is pre-trained, and after a short period of tuning, it can start to perform as the best Logistic specialist you will ever see.
Here is an extensive, but not complete, set of cases that KAPTO covers:
