Automation and Digitization

Within the modern container and transport industry, speed in order processing is essential. Transport orders often arrive as PDF files, while planners want to move on to planning and execution as quickly as possible. Mutsters Transport participated in the pilot of Erniesoft's AI PDF To Order Tool, integrated into e-Lips TMS.

The experiences from this pilot demonstrate the significant impact AI-driven order entry can have on speed, workload, and planning.

Experience with the PDF To Order pilot

Since mid-June, Mutsters Transport has been working with PDF To Order for one regular client. Whereas order entry was previously manual and time-consuming, it has now been reduced to a simple, quick operation.

“Now that entering a PDF has become a simple operation, we are truly experiencing its convenience.”

The workflow is clear and efficient. After uploading the PDF file, the AI ​​automatically reads all order data and immediately prepares it in the e-Lips TMS entry screen.

AI order entry in practice

After importing the PDF file, the planner briefly checks whether all necessary data has been transferred correctly. If necessary, minor adjustments are made or additional information is added. After that, the order can be saved and scheduled immediately.

What stands out most at Mutsters Transport is the completeness of the automatically imported orders:

• All loading and unloading locations

• Terminals

• Corresponding dates and times

• References

• Goods information

This data is transferred one-to-one from the PDF file by the AI ​​and correctly placed in e-Lips TMS.

“It saves us an enormous amount of manual data entry work.”

Direct from order to planning

Because orders are fully available in the TMS almost immediately, Mutsters Transport can move straight to planning. There is no longer any waiting time between order receipt and execution.

“In a short time, we can enter a lot of work into e-Lips TMS and immediately proceed with planning from there, sending the drivers their transport assignments.”

This ensures a smooth process in which planners spend their time planning and managing, rather than typing and checking.

Fewer errors

Because the AI ​​PDF To Order Tool retrieves data directly from the order, the chance of typing errors is greatly reduced. This prevents corrections afterwards, confusion for drivers, and extra communication with clients.

For Mutsters Transport, this means:

• Faster order processing

• Reliable and complete orders

• Less administrative burden on planners

Pilot result: clear added value

The pilot with PDF To Order clearly demonstrates to Mutsters Transport what AI automation can mean within transport planning. Even when used for just one client, a lot of time is saved, and there is more calm in the process.

AI order entry aligns seamlessly with daily operations and makes it possible to process larger volumes of orders without additional staff or workload.

AI PDF to Order within e-Lips TMS

PDF To Order is fully integrated into e-Lips TMS and requires no complex connections or external software. Transport companies remain independent of clients and can process orders automatically, regardless of the format in which they are submitted.

For companies like Mutsters Transport, this represents a concrete step towards faster planning, smarter working, and future-proof automation.
