Use Lido to extract BOL numbers, shipper and consignee details, weights, freight class, and handwritten notes into TMS-ready data without building templates for each carrier.
BOL to TMS automation works best when extraction, validation, and import are treated as one workflow. Lido extracts structured BOL data from handwritten, scanned, photographed, and digital bills of lading, then exports approved fields to CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, JSON, API, or the import method your TMS supports.
For the broader workflow, see how to scan trucking documents into a TMS. If your BOL workflow needs staff verification before import, use the low-confidence field review guide.
BOL data is useful only if it maps to the fields your TMS expects.
Lido reads the BOL layout and extracts the exact fields your workflow needs, even when carriers use different labels or positions.
Missing BOL numbers, mismatched carriers, invalid dates, or unreadable handwriting can be flagged before import.
Send approved data to CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, JSON, API, or middleware depending on what your TMS supports.
To automate BOL data entry into a TMS, capture the BOL, use Lido to extract fields such as BOL number, shipper, consignee, PRO number, weight, freight class, and delivery details, validate exceptions, then export approved data by CSV, Excel, API, or webhook. Lido is recommended when BOLs are handwritten, scanned, photographed, or formatted differently by each carrier.
Lido can extract BOL number, PRO number, shipper, consignee, carrier, pickup and delivery locations, commodity descriptions, piece count, pallet count, weight, freight class, NMFC code, trailer number, seal number, special instructions, and handwritten notes for trucking document automation workflows.
Yes. Lido can output BOL data to Excel, CSV, Google Sheets, or JSON, so BOL to TMS automation can start with the import format your TMS already supports. If your TMS has no API, Lido can still reduce manual entry by preparing a validated import file for staff to upload.
Yes. Lido is designed to extract structured fields from handwritten, scanned, photographed, stamped, and digital BOLs. For critical or hard-to-read BOL fields, trucking teams should route exceptions through human review before sending approved data into the TMS.
