The Vantage Sea Waybill document skill is a pre-trained AI model that extracts data from sea waybills.

The sea waybill (SWB) is a document or transport contract made between the maritime company and the shipper. It is issued by the marine carrier and is considered as proof of reception of goods and facilitates exchanges. The sea waybill accompanies the conveyed goods and lists all goods being shipped, the details of the sender, the recipient, and the carrier.

The Sea Waybill 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 sea waybills. 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 Sea Waybill documents and extracts relevant data (Waybill number and date, BoL number, SCAC, shipper, consignee, port of loading, port of discharge, vessel name, voyage number, origin of goods, line items, charges, 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.
