A freight invoice packs the numbers you audit against (weight, freight class, line-haul, fuel surcharge, and a stack of accessorials) into a layout that changes with every carrier. Keying that across LTL, truckload, parcel, and ocean bills is slow, and one missed accessorial or duplicate PRO number is money paid twice.
An LTL carrier, a parcel carrier, a freight forwarder, and a broker each design their own invoice. Template tools break the moment a carrier changes its layout, so someone reads the odd formats by hand anyway.
Liftgate, detention, residential delivery, reconsignment, and fuel surcharges sit inside a dense charge table. Those line items are exactly where overbilling and duplicate charges slip through unaudited.
A shipper moving hundreds of loads a month gets hundreds of freight bills from a dozen carriers. Keying PRO numbers, weights, and charges into a spreadsheet by hand is hours nobody gets back.
A freight bill audit and cost allocation by lane, mode, or cost center all need structured fields: PRO, BOL, weight, class, and each charge. When that data lives only on a PDF, every check is a manual lookup.
Upload the freight invoice and the AI reads it the way a freight auditor would, then returns the shipment and charge fields your AP system and TMS need as clean columns.
Capture the carrier name and SCAC, PRO or tracking number, bill of lading number, invoice number and date, shipper and consignee, and ship and delivery dates as named fields ready to import.
Pull the billed weight, freight class or NMFC code, piece and pallet count, line-haul charge, fuel surcharge, and each accessorial, plus the total amount due and the payment terms. Not just the invoice total.
AI identifies fields across LTL, truckload, parcel, ocean, and broker bills without a template, so an invoice from a new carrier or a redesigned statement just works on the first upload.
Drop a folder of freight invoices from every carrier at once and get back one consolidated Excel or CSV, ready to feed a freight audit, AP, or your TMS.
One bill takes under 10 seconds. A full week of freight invoices takes minutes.
Drag in one bill or a batch straight from your email or shared folder. Native PDFs, scans, and phone photos all work, including multi-page carrier statements.
Tip: Mix LTL, parcel, and broker bills in the same batch; there is no need to sort them by carrier first.
The AI identifies the carrier and SCAC, PRO and BOL numbers, shipper and consignee, weight, freight class, line-haul, fuel surcharge, each accessorial, terms, and the amount due across any carrier layout.
Export a structured Excel or CSV with consistent headers, ready to run a freight bill audit, allocate cost by lane, or import into AP and your TMS without retyping.
From a single shipper reconciling carrier bills to a 3PL auditing thousands of invoices a month.
Pull PRO numbers, weights, and charges off carrier bills to audit freight spend and reconcile against the rate agreement.
Turn a stack of multi-carrier freight invoices into structured data for cost allocation and client billing, faster and with fewer keying errors.
Capture the fields AP needs to code, match, and pay freight bills without retyping each PDF, and catch duplicate PRO numbers before they are paid.
Get consistent, auditable line-haul and accessorial fields to check every bill against contracted rates instead of reading each PDF by hand.
Freight invoice data extraction uses AI to read a carrier freight bill and return the fields your AP system and freight audit need as structured columns: carrier and SCAC, PRO number, bill of lading number, shipper and consignee, ship date, billed weight, freight class, line-haul charge, fuel surcharge, each accessorial, payment terms, and the total amount due. Instead of an AP clerk or freight auditor keying each field off a PDF, you upload the file and download a clean Excel or CSV in seconds. It works on native PDFs, scans, and photos from any carrier layout, with no template to build. Last updated July 2026.
A freight invoice is the bill a carrier or broker sends for moving a shipment, and it carries more identifiers than a standard invoice. The PRO number (the carrier progressive number) tracks the shipment, the SCAC (Standard Carrier Alpha Code) identifies the carrier, and the bill of lading number ties the bill back to the shipping contract. On an LTL bill the freight class, often shown with the NMFC (National Motor Freight Classification) item number, drives the base rate, and the charge table breaks out the line-haul, the fuel surcharge, and accessorials such as liftgate, detention, residential delivery, and reconsignment. Extraction returns each of those as its own field, so the record is ready to audit rather than ready to retype. For the full picture of what the AI captures across any invoice type, the invoice data extraction software page lists the fields, and invoice line item extraction covers pulling the full charge table.
Freight bills are widely overcharged through duplicate invoices, incorrect weights and reclasses, and accessorials that were never agreed. Reading the fields off the page with AI, then reviewing them, is more accurate than retyping under a deadline, and it gives you consistent data to check every charge against your contracted rates before you pay. Because the tool reads any layout rather than a fixed template, it keeps returning the same fields whether the bill comes from a new LTL carrier, a parcel carrier, or a broker. The invoice data capture software page explains how the AI reads any format without a template per carrier, and the accounts payable automation software page covers coding and matching the bill once it is structured.
Extraction is one step in the freight payment workflow. Once the fields are in a spreadsheet, you can audit each charge against the rate agreement, allocate cost by lane, mode, or cost center, and import the result into AP or your TMS. Many freight invoices arrive as email attachments, so it helps to pull data straight from incoming email before it reaches your queue, and to match a shipment back to what was ordered, dedicated purchase order management software keeps POs and receipts in one place. To move the extracted data into a spreadsheet workflow, use the invoice PDF to Excel converter or the invoice PDF to CSV converter.
A freight invoice is the bill a carrier or freight broker sends a shipper for transporting a shipment. It lists the carrier, the PRO and bill of lading numbers, the shipper and consignee, the weight and freight class, and an itemized set of charges (line-haul, fuel surcharge, and accessorials) that add up to the amount due.
A freight invoice lists the carrier and SCAC, the PRO or tracking number, the bill of lading number, invoice number and date, shipper and consignee, ship date, billed weight, freight class or NMFC code, piece count, and each charge: line-haul, fuel surcharge, and accessorials. Extraction returns every one of these as a separate field.
Upload the PDF, scan, or photo to an AI extraction tool and it reads the carrier, PRO and BOL numbers, weight, freight class, line-haul, fuel surcharge, and accessorials, then exports a clean Excel or CSV. That replaces several minutes of manual keying per bill with a quick review, and it works across any carrier layout without a template.
A PRO number, short for progressive number, is the unique tracking number a carrier assigns to a shipment. It appears on the freight invoice and the bill of lading and is used to trace the load and match the bill to the shipment. The AI captures it as a named field so you can reconcile and catch duplicate bills.
Yes. The AI reads the full charge table, including the line-haul charge, the fuel surcharge, and accessorials such as liftgate, detention, residential delivery, and reconsignment, and returns each as its own field. That lets you audit every charge against your contracted rates instead of trusting the invoice total.
A freight bill audit checks each invoice against the agreed rate for duplicate bills, wrong weights or freight class, and unagreed accessorials. Extraction turns every bill into structured fields (PRO, BOL, weight, class, and each charge) so those checks run on clean data in a spreadsheet instead of a manual read of each PDF.
A bill of lading is the contract and receipt for a shipment, created when the freight is picked up; it lists the goods, parties, and terms but is not a bill. A freight invoice is the carrier request for payment sent afterward, showing the charges due. They share a PRO number, and the tool extracts data from both.
Yes. The tool exports the extracted freight invoice data as a clean Excel or CSV file with consistent column headers for the carrier, PRO and BOL numbers, weight, class, and each charge. From there it drops into a freight audit worksheet, AP, or a TMS without a second round of data entry.
