Frequently Asked Questions

Hide first

How does ImageCapture automate the consignment note processing process?

ImageCapture digitises the entire process of consignment notes and CMRs, from scanning documents to automatically linking them to the correct order. The software uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to read data at both header and line level.

This ensures efficient and error-free processing of freight documents, which can be further exported to your transport management system (TMS) for further processing, minimising manual operations.

What kind of transport documents can ImageCapture process?

ImageCapture can efficiently digitise and process various types of transport documents, such as on-board computer scanned consignment notes, CMRs (Connaissement), manifests, daily statements, runsheets, delivery notes and charters.

These documents are automatically linked to the correct order in the transport management system (TMS) or ERP system, streamlining the entire process from receipt to archiving.

 

Can expenses be linked directly to specific projects or cost centres?

Yes, while submitting a claim, the user can directly select projects, cost centres or other administrative codes.

The system automatically retrieves this data from the linked core application, such as an ERP or financial system, so that everything is booked correctly and consistently.

 

How are discrepancies in consignment notes such as damages or defects handled?

ImageCapture allows deviations, such as damage or missing goods, to be easily recorded during consignment note processing. These discrepancies are detected and can be linked directly to your TMS for further follow-up.

Thus, damages and defects can be reported and analysed in a timely manner, which helps to quickly take necessary actions and improve communication with the customer or supplier.

What are the benefits of integrating ImageCapture with my TMS?

The integration of ImageCapture with your Transport Management System (TMS) ensures a seamless flow of data. Consignment notes are automatically linked to the correct orders, giving you real-time visibility of the status of each shipment.

This integration eliminates manual data entry, saves time, reduces the risk of errors and makes documents instantly retrievable via your TMS or track-and-trace portal.

How does ImageCapture improve compliance and reduce the risk of errors?

By digitising your consignment note processing operations, ImageCapture helps your organisation stay consistently compliant with legal requirements and internal processes. Automated document processing ensures that all documents are correctly stored, linked and archived, helping with regulatory compliance.

By eliminating errors in manual processing, you reduce the risk of fines and other legal complications arising from incorrect documentation.

Can ImageCapture also help digitise sign-off lists and runsheets?

Yes, ImageCapture fully supports the digitisation of sign-off lists and runsheets. These documents are automatically split into individual transmission lines, even if there are variable line heights.

The system can also detect signatures, so you always have proof of deliveries. After processing, the documents can easily be shared with customers via your TMS or Track & Trace portal, allowing them to track the status of their shipments.
