Descartes launches AI-powered image document management

Descartes Systems Group has announced new AI-powered Image Document Management capabilities designed to help customs brokers, freight forwarders and logistics service providers accelerate customs entry preparation and shipment creation. The solution embeds logistics-trained AI agents directly into Descartes’ existing customs and transportation applications, transforming trade documents into operationally ready data while reducing manual data entry and improving processing efficiency. The IDM solution interprets commercial invoices, bills of lading, packing lists and related shipment documents in context, extracting, validating and preparing data that can immediately initiate customs and transportation workflows with significantly fewer exceptions and manual corrections.

Key benefits include reduced manual data entry through AI-enabled extraction and interpretation of trade doc
