See packing slip OCR in action

Upload any document — PDF, scan, or photo — and get structured data back immediately. No setup, no templates, no waiting.

How it works

Three steps from document to structured data

Upload or forward

Drag and drop files, connect a cloud drive, or set up email auto-forwarding. Any file format works—PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or digital documents.

AI reads and extracts

The AI identifies fields by context and meaning, not fixed coordinates. Names, dates, amounts, and custom fields are extracted automatically.

What teams are saying

“Our receiving accuracy went from 94 percent to 99.5 percent after implementing packing slip OCR. The systematic verification catches discrepancies that manual checking missed.”

“We process 300 inbound orders per day. Scanning packing slips and getting structured data in seconds eliminated the data entry backlog that was delaying our put-away process.”

“The handwriting recognition surprised us. Many of our suppliers still use handwritten packing slips, and the OCR reads them accurately enough to automate the verification step.”

How packing slip OCR streamlines delivery verification

Packing slips serve as the bridge between what was ordered, what was shipped, and what was received. At the warehouse dock, receiving staff compare the packing slip against the physical goods and the original purchase order to verify that the right items arrived in the right quantities. When this verification relies on manual reading and data entry, errors compound—missed items go unrecorded, quantity discrepancies go unnoticed, and inventory accuracy degrades over time.

Packing slip OCR automates the first step of this verification process by converting the physical or PDF packing slip into structured digital data. The AI reads order numbers, item descriptions, SKUs, quantities shipped, and package identifiers from the packing slip and outputs them in a format that can be matched against purchase order data programmatically. This transforms delivery verification from a manual spot-check into a systematic, auditable process.

The challenge with packing slip formats is that they vary across every vendor relationship. An e-commerce fulfillment center receives packing slips from hundreds of different suppliers, each with their own layout conventions. Some include barcodes, some include lot numbers, and some are handwritten. Lido handles this diversity with AI that reads document structure contextually, extracting the relevant fields regardless of how the document is formatted.

Operations teams evaluating packing slip OCR should focus on extraction accuracy for quantity fields, support for mixed-format batch processing, integration with receiving workflows, and the ability to handle both digital and scanned documents. Lido provides all of these capabilities with field-level confidence scores and output in Excel, CSV, or JSON.

Frequently asked questions

What is packing slip OCR?

Packing slip OCR is the automated extraction of data from packing slips—order numbers, item details, quantities shipped, and delivery information. The AI converts paper or PDF packing slips into structured digital data for receiving verification and inventory management.

How is a packing slip different from a packing list?

A packing slip typically accompanies an individual order or shipment and is used for delivery verification, while a packing list details the contents of a larger shipment with carton-level detail. Both document types are supported by Lido with the same AI extraction engine.

Can packing slip OCR handle handwritten documents?

Yes. The AI vision models read handwritten packing slips with confidence scoring that flags uncertain characters. For critical fields like quantities and order numbers, flagged values can be reviewed before updating inventory records.

How does packing slip OCR improve inventory accuracy?

By converting every packing slip into structured data automatically, receiving teams can systematically compare shipments against purchase orders rather than relying on manual spot-checks. This catches quantity discrepancies and missing items at the point of receiving, before they become inventory record errors.

What output formats are available?

Extracted packing slip data can be exported to Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, or JSON. The REST API enables direct integration with warehouse management systems and inventory platforms for automated receiving workflows.
