Industrials

Automate industrial document workflows.

From transport orders to customs administration, Retab processes the documents that bottleneck your operations — at 10M+ documents per year with >99% accuracy.

The Problem

Every shipment runs on documents. Most of the work is still manual.

Across logistics, freight forwarding, and manufacturing, your team reads, keys, validates, and cross-checks documents by hand. These are all automatable.

Transport Order Ingestion

Millions of transport orders arriving by email in wildly variable formats — each manually keyed into the TMS at roughly a minute per order.

Customs & Administration

Document packets with invoices, packing lists, and cargo receipts — manually validated against 59+ business rules and cross-referenced with WISO files.

Freight Invoice Reconciliation

Carrier invoices with charges, surcharges, and accessorials — manually matched against contracts and shipment records.

Quality & Inspection

Inspection reports, certificates of conformity, and material test reports — manually reviewed and entered into QMS systems.

Procurement & AP

Thousands of supplier invoices monthly — manually matched against POs and delivery receipts in different formats, currencies, and tax structures.

Compliance Documentation

Certificates of origin, customs declarations, and hazmat documents — manually processed for trade compliance across countries.

Case Study

How a leading logistics platform automated 10M+ orders per year.

Transport orders arriving by email in every format imaginable — different shippers, different layouts, different languages. Your team keys each one into the TMS manually.

Retab — Platform

From Process to Automation.

Describe your process. Retab automates it.

Upload a few sample transport orders or C&A packets and explain how your team processes them today: which fields matter, what validation rules you check, how you handle exceptions. Retab builds the automation and connects directly to your TMS or CargoWise.
