The platform

What is PaperEntry AI?

PaperEntry AI is a state-of-the-art intelligent document processing platform built on proprietary generative AI. It automatically extracts, validates, and exports data from any type of business document.

Most extraction tools match a document against a fixed template. When the supplier changes their layout, the template breaks. PaperEntry AI reads each document on its own terms. It works out the language, the number format, and the table structure before it extracts a single value. That is why it works on day one, on documents it has never seen.

Generative AI Technology

Proprietary models purpose-built for document understanding, not repurposed OCR. They read context, not just characters.

No Training Required

No labeled training data. No template-building project. Upload a document and get structured fields back.

Universal Document Support

Clean digital PDFs, scans, faxes, and phone photos. Any format, any layout, any language.

What’s new

What’s New in PaperEntry AI

Our latest release makes PaperEntry AI more accurate, more self-sufficient, and easier to trust at scale.

Validated, Not Just Extracted

PaperEntry AI checks its own work against the document’s own arithmetic. Line totals, grand totals, tax, and weights all have to reconcile. A misread or missing line is flagged, not shipped silently into your ERP.

It Learns Every Supplier

The more documents you send from a supplier, the better PaperEntry AI reads them. It remembers each sender’s quirks and applies what it learned to the next document automatically. Nothing to configure.

Zero-Setup Extraction

Upload a document without telling PaperEntry AI what it is. It identifies the document type, builds the structure, and returns fields. New customers get results on the first document, not after a template project.

Prebuilt for Trade and Finance Documents

Hand-tuned support for the documents importers, brokers, and finance teams see most, including commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates of origin, entry summaries, and AP invoices. Every other document type is handled automatically, with no template work.

Multilingual by Default

Automatic language detection with validated support across English, German, Italian, and Korean, plus correct handling of European and US number and date formats in the same document.

Confidence and Provenance on Every Field

Every value comes back with a confidence score and a pointer to exactly where it appeared on the page. High-confidence fields flow straight through. Low-confidence fields route to a reviewer who can click and see the source.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PaperEntry AI?

PaperEntry AI is a document automation platform that uses AI to extract and validate data from customs brokerage documents. It reads commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates of origin, arrival notices, and PGA forms, and transmits the extracted data into your TMS or ERP without manual data entry.

What documents can PaperEntry AI process for customs brokers?

PaperEntry AI processes bills of lading, certificates of origin, data sheets, arrival notices, commercial invoices, and packing lists. It’s built specifically for the documents a customs brokerage handles during clearance, not general-purpose OCR.

How does PaperEntry AI’s customs clearance process work?

The process runs in five stages: document intake, document preparation, AI data extraction and validation, human-in-the-loop review, and transmission or export. Automated checks run throughout, with a human validation step before data moves into your TMS or ERP.

How much time and cost does PaperEntry AI save customs brokers?

Customers report up to 90% time reduction and up to 90% cost savings, with 4x capacity expansion and a 2 to 3x reduction in mistakes. One customer, Savino Del Bene, South Africa, cut customs entry time from up to 40 minutes down to 2 minutes per entry after switching from manual data entry.

Does PaperEntry AI replace customs brokerage staff?

No. PaperEntry AI automates the manual data entry work, reading and extracting data from documents, while a human-in-the-loop review step keeps staff in control of validation before anything is filed. It’s designed to expand what a team can handle, not to remove the team.
