Trade Docs: Why IDP Beats Manual Entry

Manual data entry has long been a bottleneck for the trade and customs sector. It’s slow, error-prone, and expensive. But with Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), businesses are turning the tide.

The Manual Method: A Trade-Off You Don’t Need

  • Error-prone: Human errors in customs documents can cost time and money.
  • Inefficient: Repetitive tasks waste valuable resources.
  • Scalability issues: High document volumes overwhelm manual systems.

How IDP Changes the Game

IDP software combines OCR, machine learning, and NLP to automate tasks:

  • Extracting data from trade documents like packing lists and invoices.
  • Simplifying customs declarations for faster clearance.
  • Performing real-time compliance checks to avoid penalties.

Why Choose IDP?

With IDP, you get precision, speed, and scalability—all while cutting costs and boosting efficiency. iCustoms' IDP is built to handle trade complexities seamlessly.
