Customs Compliance Built to Scale With Global Trade

How it works

How PaperEntry AI Customs Works

From intake to export, PaperEntry AI orchestrates the full customs documentation workflow with AI assistance and built-in controls.

1. Intake

It starts with the automated intake of your documents. Our smart document detection technology can ingest documents in many ways: from a Document Management System, emails, shared folders, APIs, or simply by drag-and-drop.

2. Preparation

Then, PaperEntry AI reads, enhances, separates, and classifies your documents without manual intervention. For a PDF with different embedded documents, our data capture software will intelligently split them into separate documents based on logical page boundaries.

3. Extraction

Once prepared, the PaperEntry AI data automation tool uses Proprietary Generative AI Models to identify, auto-label, and extract all critical elements in a document.

4. Validation

Data is confirmed based on business logic checks, post-processing normalization, and as-needed human review. If a discrepancy is located, AI identifies the exact location of the error for immediate and easy correction.

5. Export

Once validated, PaperEntry AI data capture software automatically and securely routes data directly into your TMS/ERP system. Integration reduces the time and effort required to process large volumes of data.
