The Vantage Packing List document skill is a pre-trained AI model, that extracts data from packing lists in English and Spanish.

A packing list, also known as delivery docket, packing slip, manifest, customer receipt, is a document used in international trade to provide information about the shipment - how the shipment is packed and the marks and numbers that are noted on the outside of the boxes. It is normally used by the exporter, the international freight forwarder, and the ultimate consignee for issuing other documents such as the Bill of lading. The information contained in the packing list is also used to facilitate the preparation and loading of goods, customs clearance, and registration of the shipped items at various stages of their transportation.

A packing list accompanies shipped items until they have been accepted by the buyer.

The Packing List skill is a preview skill. It has been trained on a small document set and is intended to be used by citizen developers as a quick-start basis for processing packing lists. The skill may require further training on your specific documents in order to be used in production scenarios.

By automating the processing of packing lists and other freight documentation, potential errors from manual processes are drastically reduced or eliminated, leading to accelerated customs clearance and movement of goods, increased transparency and traceability and cost savings. When combined with other Vantage document skills for trade documentation a seamless flow of goods is ensured, providing you with a distinct competitive advantage in the market.

• Vantage document skills are extraction models, based on ABBYY's purpose-built AI, designed and trained to extract key data from business documents.
• Preview document skills provide a quick-start basis for conducting proof of concept and automating document-centric processes, without wasting time to train a new skill from the ground up. In most preview skills the main data fields have been labeled and the skill has been trained on a small document set to provide a starting point for further training on customer side. Preview skills generally come at no additional cost, but consume page volume from the base Vantage Core Skills volume.
• The model automatically detects key fields on packing lists and extracts relevant data (packing list number and date, PO number and date, invoice number and date, shipper, consignee, country of origin and destination, terms of delivery, line items describing each package etc.). For a full list of extracted fields, please see the skill documentation.
• Includes validation and data normalization rules. Further business rules can be added as required.
• Can be augmented by human-in-the-loop review and verification based on accuracy thresholds, missing or incorrect information.
• Requires further training in order to ensure sufficient accuracy levels on customer-specific documents. Training can be done up-front or during runtime as documents arrive and go through manual verification.
• The skill complements other pre-trained transportation and logistics skills from ABBYY including bill of lading, commercial invoices, custom declarations, and several more.
