Which logistics documents can be captured on mobile devices?

Typical documents include proofs of delivery, bills of lading, delivery notes, weigh tickets, fuel receipts and invoices. Evaluate the SDK with your own documents under the real lighting and working conditions your drivers encounter.

Does document capture work without an internet connection?

Yes. Document detection, cropping and image optimization run locally in the mobile application. Your app can then transfer the optimized scan to its backend according to your own workflow once a connection is available.

Can data from freight documents be processed automatically?

Yes. The Data Capture SDK adds OCR, structured data extraction and searchable PDFs to the mobile scan. Available fields depend on the document type and selected analysis configuration.

What role does barcode recognition play in logistics workflows?

Barcode recognition can be added as an optional module for warehouse, assignment or delivery confirmation workflows. The core document workflow remains focused on high-quality scanning and, where required, OCR and data extraction.

How can logistics teams test Docutain?

Evaluate the workflow with our Android Showcase App or iOS Showcase App on real devices, using your own freight documents under representative conditions. You can also request a free developer trial for your driver app.

DOCUMENTS AT THE POINT OF WORK

More than traditional freight paperwork

Docutain supports document workflows across transport management, freight, delivery and mobile logistics. Your own workflow determines which documents and data matter.

Proofs of delivery

Capture signed PODs immediately after delivery.

Bills of lading

Scan multi-page freight documents on mobile devices and submit them together.

Delivery notes

Prepare delivery paperwork for dispatch, billing or archiving.

Weigh tickets and reports

Digitize documents from loading, inspection and handover reliably.

Receipts and invoices

Add OCR and data extraction when downstream processes require their content.

Barcodes and assignment

Optionally associate shipments or equipment through 1D and 2D codes.

FROM DRIVER TO BILLING

One document workflow with the right modules

Document Scanner and Data Capture form the core. Barcode recognition remains an optional add-on for specific warehouse or assignment workflows.
