Company Overview

SuperCargo founded in Patras 1996, has been at the forefront of cargo handling in the Adriatic region for more than two decades. Today, it provides complete transportation and handling solutions for vehicles and cargo across the Mediterranean and sea routes to Western and Northern Europe. They offer a range of services: booking ferries and ships, customs formalities, special passes, and escort vehicles.

The main project requirements of SuperCargo were:

1. Implementation time – not over three months
2. Overall solution independent of the type of the invoices
3. Accuracy of the extracted data

Problem

The main problem of SuperCargo was the inability to integrate electronically with its suppliers, as this was not technologically feasible due to the fragmentation of the companies’ information systems.

SuperCargo receives more than 4,000 fare invoices (purchases) every month. 40% of the data obtained by SuperCargo has been entered automatically through interfaces and document management solutions.

The traditional Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is not generally applicable when communicating and exchanging information between information systems. Especially when the trading companies are from different countries and the communication standards are not stable.

Solution

PaperEntry is an artificial intelligence software, and its innovation lies in its ability to gather information from any documents without relying on predefined document structure rules.
