Dottle reads everything that comes in, from transport order and packing list to work order and inspection report, checks it and posts the data straight into your TMS, ERP or accounting system. Your team only looks at the exceptions.
In day-to-day use at
Projects where Dottle runs today, and the numbers it delivered.
Every order, CMR, packing list or invoice gets keyed into your system by hand. That adds up to hours every day from people you would rather have on planning or customers.
A mistyped quantity or a missed delivery date often only comes to light when the customer sends the invoice back. Putting it right then costs time, and sometimes trust.
While the signed CMR is still sitting in an inbox, you can't invoice. Every day's delay means you get paid later.
Reading, checking and passing it on happen by themselves. Your team only looks at the exceptions.
By email, upload or API. These are the real screens: reading, comparing and passing on happen by themselves, and your team decides where there is doubt.
An email with or without an attachment, an upload or a link through the API. No fixed format is needed, and scans and photos are handled too.
Inbox
Dottle recognises the type of document and pulls out the data, whatever the layout, sender or language: loading and delivery address, dates, time windows, temperature and quantities. This order is in Dutch.
Transport order
A packing list of 22 lines becomes 22 lines, each with its SSCC and item code, next to the document.
Packing list
Order, packing list and CMR of the same shipment are compared: the number of pallets, the gross weight and the PO number. Anything that doesn't match doesn't get through.
File
No signature from the consignee on the CMR? You see straight away that the shipment hasn't been delivered, before anyone invoices.
CMR
A complete shipment goes to your TMS, ERP or accounting system as one file, for example as XML to Samurai TMS. Nobody has to retype a thing.
Export
Every field gets a confidence score. What is certain goes through; where there is doubt or something differs, the document is flagged for review and a colleague decides in a few clicks. Nothing goes through unseen.
Next to every field read sits how certain the system is, and where the field sits on the document. Doubtful cases go to the review screen.
Order, packing list and CMR are laid side by side. If something doesn't add up, Dottle holds it back before it reaches your system.
Every file shows who approved it and when it was sent to your system.
Your documents and data stay within the EU, are encrypted in storage and in transit, and only authorised users have access. Dottle can also run in your own environment.
Dottle understands what's on the document, even without a barcode, a fixed form or a template for each sender.
Order, packing list and CMR from the same shipment are compared. Anything that doesn't match doesn't get through.
No lengthy implementation project: in production within four weeks, and you only pay once your first document has been processed.
Everything that comes in by email or as a file. We set Dottle up once per type, not per sender: a new customer or supplier with a different layout works straight away.
Customer, loading and delivery address, dates, time windows, temperature, goods and quantities: an order in your TMS, without retyping. Dottle reads order confirmations too.
Is the order simply in the text of the email? Dottle reads that just as well.
Proof of delivery, ready to invoice. Sender, consignee, loading and delivery place, packages, weight and the consignee's signature. If the signature is missing or there's a reservation on it, you see it straight away.
Every line, compared with the CMR: SSCC, item code, quantities and weight per line. Pallets and weight are laid next to the CMR and the order.
Invoice data goes to your ERP or accounting system, without double entry.
Dottle also reads work orders and inspection and test reports, with the fields you need.
Then we set Dottle up for it. In week 1 we look at your documents together, and you only pay once your first document has been processed.
Transpas, Samurai, Ixolution and more through file exchange (XML or FTP) or API; Exact, SAP, Business Central, AFAS and Navision; or your own API or webhook.
3 cases
HDG · Food and fresh produce, inspection
Packing lists read from the mailbox, classified and prepared for inspection and invoicing. What the model isn't sure about, it puts to the team.
Cabooter Trucking · Logistics, Venlo
Cerelia · Food, complaint handling
A flow that collects complaints, classifies them and prepares a draft reply for the colleague who sends it.
Enter your own volume. The starting values assume around 70,000 documents a year, Cabooter's volume.
Worked example based on your input. Dottle charges per processed document from €0.185, with tiered pricing as volume grows. In the business case we work it out with your own documents.
What we need from you: sample documents, one fixed point of contact, and access to the system the data needs to go into, or contact with the supplier of that system.
Together we look at your documents, volumes and systems, and draw up the business case up front.
We configure Dottle for your documents and checks, and set up the link to your system.
Your team tests with real documents from your own operations. We fine-tune until it's right.
Dottle runs in production. In the weeks that follow, we keep an eye on things and adjust where needed.
