Use Template →Your Format Not Listed?
Most shipping notes and delivery orders share the same core fields regardless of carrier. The standard shipping template uses variable-position rules to find your fields wherever they appear. Upload a sample and confirm the output before committing to anything.

Shipping document automation looks different depending on your operation. Pick the one that matches yours.
Hundreds of Shipping Notes Per Shift. None Should Require Manual Entry.
Every carrier sends documents differently. One delivers a clean PDF, another a scanned note, a third a handwritten receipt signed by the driver. Each one needs the same fields captured before the shipment can close. Docparser reads whatever arrives — including handwritten notes via AI recognition — and routes the data to your WMS or tracking system. The throughput stays. The manual entry stops.
How Alpine Industries automates ERP data entry from shipping documents →Orders Ship Fast. Your Shipping Records Should Keep Up.
High-volume fulfilment operations generate hundreds of shipping documents per day. Each one carries tracking numbers, SKUs, addresses, and delivery confirmations that need capturing before the next order runs. Docparser extracts barcode and tracking data from shipping notes automatically, so your records stay current without anyone touching a keyboard between shipments.
Extracting barcode and tracking data from shipping documents →Multiple Clients. Multiple Carriers. One Document Processing Workflow.
Third-party logistics providers handle shipping documents from dozens of clients and carriers at once. Each carrier has a different format. Docparser runs one parser per carrier layout — each extracting the right fields and routing output to the right client destination. The carrier mix grows. The data entry workload does not.
Logistics and warehousing automation with Docparser →Your ERP Needs Delivery Data. Your Drivers Send Paper.
Manufacturing and distribution operations close the loop between shipment and ERP when delivery confirmation arrives. That confirmation often comes on paper — a signed delivery note, a handwritten receipt, a scanned form. Docparser captures the data from any format and delivers it to your ERP or WMS via webhook or API. The shipment closes in your system before the truck is back at the depot.
How Docparser reads handwritten delivery notes →Shipping Documents Are One Document Type. Your Business Runs on Many.
Docparser handles every document type your business runs on from one workspace. Set up a parser for shipping notes today, delivery orders tomorrow, and invoices next week. The same rules engine, the same integrations, the same export workflow.
Questions Logistics Teams Ask First
Not covered here? The support centre has step-by-step walkthroughs for every scenario.
-
Docparser reads PDF shipping notes, scanned delivery orders, photographed paper receipts, and handwritten driver notes. For handwritten documents, DocparserAI converts handwriting to text before extraction rules apply. Email attachments route directly to Docparser via a forwarding address — no manual download needed.
-
Yes. DocparserAI includes handwriting recognition that converts handwritten text to machine-readable output before extraction rules run. This applies to driver signatures, handwritten dates, recipient names, and annotated quantities on delivery receipts. The same parser handles printed and handwritten versions of the same document type.
-
Yes. Docparser extracts barcode values and tracking numbers printed on shipping documents using OCR and pattern-based rules. For documents with embedded barcode images, the barcode scanner feature reads the encoded value directly. Extracted tracking numbers route to your WMS, spreadsheet, or webhook automatically. Learn more at docparser.com/blog/barcode-scanner-software.
-
One parser per carrier layout is the right setup. For known carriers like C.H. Powell, a saved template extracts the same fields from every document that carrier produces. For new carriers, anchor-based rules find each field regardless of position. Most logistics teams run several parsers in parallel, routing all outputs to one destination.
-
Docparser exports shipping data via CSV, webhook, or REST API. For WMS and ERP systems, a webhook delivers structured data in the format your system expects without a manual import step. Zapier and Power Automate connect Docparser to hundreds of additional platforms. See the full list at docparser.com/integrations.
-
Pre-built template: under five minutes. Upload a sample document, confirm the fields, done. Custom carrier layout: 15 to 30 minutes with the visual rule builder, no coding. Most users have their first parser running on live documents the same day they sign up.
-
Yes. You set up a separate parser for each document type and each carrier layout. Shipping notes and delivery orders process through separate parsers but can feed the same downstream destination — a shared spreadsheet, WMS, or webhook endpoint. All outputs route together without any manual consolidation step.
-
Docparser runs on AWS across multiple availability zones. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Your documents belong to your organisation — Docparser does not resell or reuse them. You set retention between 0 and 180 days. GDPR compliant, with Standard Contractual Clauses for EU customers. Full details at docparser.com/security.
