Yet, for many freight forwarders, it is also the biggest bottleneck. Traditional manual entry is slow and error-prone, while legacy Optical Character Recognition (OCR) struggles with the diverse, unstructured formats provided by hundreds of global carriers.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Quick Answer:</strong> Freight forwarders extract Bill of Lading data by transitioning from manual keying to Intelligent Document Processing (IDP).
