Do you have any questions? You can find the answers here.

We will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Simply contact us.

Yes, unlike traditional OCR, which requires a new template for each carrier, Parashift uses the latest AI such as Document Swarm Learning®, LLM and OneTouchLearning.

In any case. We specialize in the "messy" logistics of the real world. Our AI is trained on poor quality scans, skewed images and even drivers' handwritten notes on proofs of delivery (PODs). We don't just read "perfect" PDFs, we read what your drivers actually send.

It is designed so that it can be integrated with little effort. We use a modern REST API and offer pre-built connectors for major ecosystems such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 and SAP (via partners). Most customers get structured JSON data into their TMS within days, not months.

Your data is more secure than with any BPO. We are ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Unique is our "Delete-to-Learn" feature, which allows you to edit a document, train the AI and then immediately delete the document permanently . We keep what we learn, but you keep your trade secrets.

There is no downtime. As we are largely pre-trained on standard logistics documents (CMRs, waybills, customs declarations), you can start processing immediately in parallel with your old system. You can go from "signed contract" to "live production" in just 2 weeks.

You are never penalized for your growth. Parashift automatically adapts to the load coming from the logistics service providers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Find the answers here

We work with over 500 different carriers who all use different layouts. Can you handle that?+

Yes. Unlike conventional OCR, which needs a new template for every carrier, Parashift uses the latest AI such as Document Swarm Learning®, LLMs and OneTouchLearning®.

Half of our documents are scanned by drivers with their phones (crumpled/handwritten). Does that work?+

Absolutely. We specialize in the "chaotic" logistics of the real world. Our AI is trained on poor-quality scans, crooked images and even handwritten driver notes on proof of delivery (PODs), not just on "perfect" PDFs.

How hard is it to connect to my TMS (CargoWise, SAP, etc.)?+

It's designed to integrate with minimal effort. We use a modern REST API and offer pre-built connectors for key ecosystems such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 and SAP (via partners). Most customers get structured JSON data into their TMS within days, not months.

Is my pricing data safe? We don't want our price lists to leak.+

Your data is safer than with any BPO. We are ISO 27001-certified and GDPR-compliant. Unique to us is our "Delete-to-Learn" feature: you process a document, the AI learns from it, and the document is immediately and permanently deleted, we keep the learning, you keep your trade secrets.

How long does setup take? We can't afford operational downtime.+

There is no downtime. Since we come largely pre-trained on standard logistics documents (CMRs, freight bills, customs declarations), you can start immediately alongside your existing system. From signed contract to live production in as little as 2 weeks.

What if we have a volume spike during peak season?+

You're never penalized for growth. Parashift automatically scales to the load coming from your logistics providers.
