Cognitive KabyTech reading — not templates

Unlike traditional OCR that needs a template per document layout, KabyTech uses cognitive extraction. KabyTech understands document structure, identifies candidate values, and selects the best match — working on any AWB from any airline.

Step 4

Validate everything before it hits your system

Every extracted value is cross-checked against reference databases. Errors are caught before they reach your TMS — not after a Thai Customs rejection.

Before & After

Manual process vs KabyTech automation

❌ Before: Manual AWB Processing

  • 😤 Agent manually reads each AWB document
  • ⌨️ Re-keys shipper, consignee, routing, weight into TMS
  • 📋 Same data entered again into Thai Customs portal
  • ❌ 3–4 Customs rejections/week from keying errors
  • 📈 Cannot scale — more AWBs = more people
6+ hrs
per agent per day
spent on AWB data entry

✅ After: KabyTech Automation

  • 🤖 KabyTech reads any AWB automatically — no templates
  • 📤 JSON pushed directly to TMS / ERP
  • 🏛️ Thai Customs auto-filled from AWB data
  • ✅ Zero rejections — codes validated before filing
  • 📈 Scales automatically — 100 or 10,000 AWBs/day
87%
reduction in data entry time
45 min → 4 min per declaration
