The International Consignment Note (CMR) skill is a purpose-built AI model, that extracts data from international consignment notes in four languages - English, German, French and Spanish.

The International Consignment Note (CMR), also known as International Road Carriage Waybill is a proof of the contract of carriage by road which determines the scope and responsibility for the operation performed, identifies the parties involved and the goods being transported across borders. It contains a list of items being transported, their characteristics, shipping details, and information about the shipper and consignee.

The International Consignment Note 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 consignment notes. The skill may require further training on your specific documents in order to be used in production.

By automating the processing of CMR 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 all fields in the 24 areas of the document and extracts relevant data (Shipper, Consignee, Place of Delivery, Line Items, INCO Terms 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.
