About Bol.ai

Stop retyping Bills of Lading. Upload a BOL as PDF, scan or photo and get structured data in seconds, parties, ports, containers, weights. JSON, CSV & API. The Bill of Lading is our specialty, and we read the documents that travel with it. Built for the daily reality of freight forwarders and customs brokers: stacks of carrier BOLs that someone has to key into the system. Every container number is checked against its ISO 6346 check digit, dates and weights against plausibility rules, suspect fields are flagged, never silently wrong.

About hex

Warning This project is a work in progress, so the content in this post will most likely be updated. And while the systems that I put in place for myself do help a fair bit, there is still much that is left to chance, which obviously my brain will forget or get overwhelmed by. If I had more time to spare to this project, most (if not all) of the code would've been written by me, but balancing an active job search, two kids (and learning fucking Swift lol) while trying to keep some of my sanity take most of my available time and desire to do anything else.
