How Anna solves your daily document problems

Whether invoice, delivery note or CMR: Anna takes over recurring tasks in document processing and ensures speed, accuracy and relief.

Anna's areas of application in everyday logistics

In these processes, Anna ensures clarity, speed and consistent workflows - without any media discontinuity.

Cross-Dock Documents

Anna processes CMRs, delivery notes and dispatch notifications automatically, compares them with ASN data and ensures that your ramp does not become a bottleneck.

Check transport invoices

Whether freight rates, surcharges or contract conditions: Anna checks every invoice line by line, recognises discrepancies automatically and relieves your team of the time-consuming task of checking.

Operational Calculations

Anna processes invoices for repairs, rent or consumables automatically - including checking, account assignment and transfer for approval or posting in the ERP.

Organisation of orders

Anna reads order confirmations and call-offs from emails or PDFs, compares them with internal specifications and transfers correct data directly into your system - fully documented.

Enter goods receipt

When goods are received, Anna checks delivery notes and accompanying documents, compares them with the order data and automatically books matching consignments in the ERP - reliably and quickly.

Automate customs declarations

Anna extracts customs-relevant information from invoices, packing lists, etc., validates it and provides structured data for your customs declaration - error-free and compliant.

What makes Anna special

Anna's technological capabilities enable the automated processing of even complex documents - reliably, scalably and comprehensibly.

Classify documents

Anna automatically recognises whether a document is a CMR, delivery note, order or invoice - even with mixed scans, different languages or poor templates.

Extract data

Whether PDF, scan or e-mail: Anna reads structure-relevant content such as references, quantities or prices precisely - even with difficult layouts, stamps or handwriting.

Validate data

Anna compares extracted information with system values, master data or tolerance rules - identifies deviations at an early stage and significantly reduces manual checking efforts.

Data forwarding

After processing, Anna transfers all data directly to the target system - via API, EDI or file. No more copy & paste, no media breaks, no more sources of error.

Edit exceptions

If Anna is unsure about a process, she asks specific questions - with clear questions, complete context and documented feedback for continuous improvement.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Anna – explained transparently and clearly.

Anna uses information from various systems – ERP, TMS, or DMS. Existing systems can be quickly connected via APIs, providing Anna with the right context for her work:

  Connection via REST API or standard formats (JSON, XML, EDI, CSV, XLSX)
  Compatible with SAP, CargoWise, ELO, DATEV, D.velop, and more
  No modification of your systems required
  Integration also possible in hybrid IT environments

This makes automation part of your daily business – without additional tools, without compromises.

Anna was designed for sensitive, business-critical processes – which is why it meets the highest standards of data protection, operational security, and compliance:

  100% GDPR-compliant – data is processed exclusively according to European standards
  Flexible hosting options – cloud or private cloud
  No third-party sharing – full control over all data
  Access, deletion, and logging concepts
  Stable operational architecture – for high volumes and continuous availability
  Proven use in daily operations – even for security-critical applications

With Anna, you automate reliably – without risk and with full transparency.

Anna processes autonomously where it is confident and specifically asks your employees in case of uncertainties (such as ambiguous handwritten corrections) or discrepancies. Anna uses system data (e.g., existing tour numbers or data sheets) and proactively searches for discrepancies. This creates a smooth collaboration between human and machine – without loss of control, without media breaks:

  Automatic where possible: Anna processes at least 70% of documents completely independently – with high precision and validated results.
  Targeted handover in case of uncertainties: missing information or conflicting values are displayed by Anna in a web-based interface.
  Intuitive dashboard for overview: your employees can see at a glance what was processed automatically – and where intervention is needed.
  Adaptive workflow: recurring special cases can be quickly integrated into the process – without much effort.

This creates real relief – and a reliable interplay of AI and experience.

Anna measures her success in automated processes, not in extracted fields. While existing Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) tools only extract defined fields, Anna thinks along. She understands the peculiarities of logistics documents, checks across multiple files, and decides for herself when human support is needed:

  No templates or training required: Anna works from day 1, completely without setup or training data.
  End-to-end instead of single solution: from document intake to structured handover to ERP, TMS, or DMS.
  With control & transparency: the web-based overview of Anna’s work keeps your team informed at all times.
  Proven in practice: high automation rates, fast integration, immediate measurable benefits, low error risk.

In short: Anna not only delivers data – she noticeably relieves your team.

Discover how Anna processes over 70% of your documents completely independently.
