The primary purpose of this DAG is to streamline the extraction and validation of logistics documents, ensuring that they meet industry compliance standards and enhancing traceability throughout the supply chain. The pipeline ingests various document types, such as shipping manifests, invoices, and compliance certificates, which are critical for operational integrity in the transport and logistics industry. The architecture consists of an ingestion layer that captures documents from multiple sources, including email attachments, cloud storage, and direct uploads from logistics management systems. Once ingested, the documents undergo processing through a series of Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) techniques that extract key data points, such as shipment details, recipient information, and compliance checks. Quality control measures are integrated into the processing steps to validate the accuracy of the extracted data against predefined compliance criteria. This validation ensures that any discrepancies are flagged for review, thus maintaining high data integrity. The validated results are then archived in a document management system, which provides robust traceability features, allowing stakeholders to track document history and changes over time. Key performance indicators (KPIs) for monitoring include extraction accuracy rates, validation success rates, and average processing time per document. By automating these processes, the DAG significantly reduces manual labor, minimizes errors, and accelerates document handling, ultimately delivering substantial business value through improved compliance, operational efficiency, and enhanced customer satisfaction.
