Why ExB: The AI that truly understands logistics documents.
With Anna, the virtual clerk, you not only automate documents, you also noticeably reduce the burden on your logistics processes: at least 70% dark processing from day one, available 24/7, human-in-the-loop when needed. Developed for freight documents, CMRs, delivery notes, invoices, etc. – and superior to traditional OCR and IDP.
Why traditional OCR isn't enough – and Anna makes the difference
Many solutions deliver data – but the real work begins afterwards: checking, comparing, assigning, deciding. This is precisely where traditional OCR and IDP tools fail in everyday use. Anna – our virtual clerk – goes further. She understands content in context, recognises which documents belong together, checks against master data and processes entire cases completely automatically. This results in real relief instead of additional tasks.
- Recognises fields and layouts, delivers extracted data for further processing
- Works in a document-centred manner and considers each document individually
- Requires templates, fixed rules and continuous manual follow-up maintenance in the event of changes.
- Often generates queries that must be clarified and prioritised manually.
- Provides raw data that must be further checked and processed in multiple systems
- Tool that must be actively controlled and is heavily dependent on manual process maintenance
- Understands content in context, evaluates meaning and makes independent decisions in the process
- Thinks in terms of processes and recognises connections between documents such as orders, delivery notes, invoices or CMRs
- Works reliably from day one, without templates or training data, and improves through confirmed decisions in everyday use
- Identifies uncertainties, provides context, and only forwards genuinely unresolved issues to your team in a targeted manner.
- Creates complete decisions and transfers structured results directly to ERP, TMS and DMS systems
- A virtual colleague who works reliably 24/7, scales stably and permanently relieves your team.
What makes Anna's work so valuable in everyday life
Anna thinks like a clerk.
Instead of just reading fields, Anna understands content in context. She recognises which documents belong to a process, checks them against master data and processes, and derives decisions from this. This creates something that many solutions lack: a virtual colleague who really works with you – not just provides data.
High dark processing from day 1
Anna starts without lengthy preliminary projects, templates or training data. In practice, at least 70% of documents are processed completely automatically from the outset. Every confirmed decision helps to better recognise typical patterns and exceptions, and the degree of automation increases.
Human-in-the-loop, but targeted
Employees are only involved when necessary. Anna identifies uncertainties, provides context and suggestions, and uses them to create clear tasks. Her team decides with a click: approve, correct, follow up. This way, people stay involved in the process where they are really needed.
Deeply rooted in logistics
ExB is at home in logistics, freight forwarding and intralogistics. Anna was developed for documents and processes that occur there on a daily basis: CMRs, consignment notes, delivery notes, invoices, customs documents and more. This specialisation ensures that it quickly adds value in practice.
Safety & Origin from Germany
ExB is a German company with offices in Munich, Leipzig and Berlin. Data is processed in accordance with European standards, is 100% GDPR-compliant and is not passed on to third parties. For sensitive processes in logistics, this offers the security that modern automation solutions must meet today.
Modern AI, seamlessly integrated
The ExB platform relies on agent-based AI, making it significantly more flexible than traditional OCR or rigid IDP systems. Anna connects to ERP, TMS and DMS systems via APIs, works 24/7 and scales with your workload. Your IT remains in charge – Anna integrates and enhances what is already there.
Who Anna is the perfect match for
Anna excels in situations involving numerous documents, complex processes and high service requirements. This is particularly true in logistics, but also applies to any area where processes need to be stabilised and teams need to be relieved of some of their workload.
Whether by road, sea or air: wherever CMRs, consignment notes, delivery notes, invoices and customs documents arrive daily, Anna ensures speed. Ideal for companies with established TMS or ERP systems that want to significantly reduce manual processing. 70% dark processing means 70% less workload from day one.
Anna shows her strengths when several documents per transaction need to be checked in goods receipt, order picking or goods issue. She recognises missing or contradictory information, automates routine cases and only passes on open issues to your team.
Manufacturers and retailers with their own warehouse or transport structures benefit as soon as document volumes increase or teams become overloaded. Anna integrates seamlessly into ERP, TMS and DMS systems and takes over recurring checking and allocation tasks.
In short: ExB is suitable for companies that not only want to extract data, but are looking for real relief in operational logistics.
