“As a freight broker, we handle 150 BOLs per day from different carriers. Converting them to one consolidated spreadsheet eliminated the manual data entry that was our biggest operational bottleneck.”
“Ocean BOLs from international carriers were the hardest to process. The AI reads them correctly regardless of the shipping line format, which saved us hours of manual work per week.”
“We use the BOL spreadsheets for freight class verification and carrier billing reconciliation. Having structured data from every BOL means we catch classification errors before they cost us money.”
Bills of lading are the most fundamental document in freight transportation. Every shipment—whether LTL, truckload, ocean, or intermodal—is governed by a BOL that specifies the shipper, consignee, commodity details, weight, freight class, and special instructions. Logistics teams need this data in spreadsheet format for shipment tracking, carrier reconciliation, and freight spend analysis. Converting BOLs to Excel manually means typing dozens of fields from each document, which is slow, error-prone, and does not scale.
The BOL format challenge is significant because every carrier and shipper uses a different layout. A straight bill of lading from a domestic LTL carrier looks nothing like an ocean bill of lading from a container shipping line. Uniform BOL formats exist in theory, but in practice the field positions, naming conventions, and supplemental data vary widely. Template-based conversion tools require a separate mapping for each layout, which becomes unmanageable when processing BOLs from dozens of carriers.
AI-powered BOL to Excel conversion reads each bill of lading contextually, identifying shipper name, consignee address, commodity description, NMFC code, weight, freight class, and reference numbers by their meaning rather than their position on the page. Lido produces a clean spreadsheet where each BOL becomes a row with fields mapped to standardized columns, regardless of which carrier or shipper issued the document.
For freight brokers, 3PLs, and corporate logistics departments processing high BOL volumes, the key evaluation criteria are multi-carrier format support, accuracy on weight and freight class fields, batch processing throughput, and integration with TMS platforms. Lido handles all major BOL formats and exports to Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, and JSON.
Audited controls over a sustained period, not a point-in-time check.
Bank-grade encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit.
Documents deleted within 24 hours. No copies retained.
You upload bills of lading as PDFs, scans, or photos. The AI reads each document, identifies fields like shipper, consignee, commodity, weight, freight class, and references, then maps them to Excel columns. Multiple BOLs are consolidated into a single spreadsheet.
Lido handles straight bills of lading, order bills of lading, ocean bills of lading, intermodal BOLs, and uniform BOL formats from any carrier. The AI adapts to each layout without requiring per-carrier templates.
Yes. Batch upload any number of BOLs and Lido consolidates all extracted data into a single Excel spreadsheet. Each row represents one BOL with standardized column headers for easy filtering and analysis.
AI-powered extraction achieves 95 to 99 percent accuracy on standard BOL fields. Weight and freight class values include confidence scores so logistics teams can verify high-impact fields before using them for carrier billing or freight audit.
Yes. In addition to Excel, Lido supports Google Sheets, CSV, and JSON output. The REST API enables direct integration with TMS platforms and shipment management systems.
