Overview
Tori Timber manages large-scale timber logistics, where each container delivery includes detailed loading sheets and images describing its contents - from tree species and lengths to quantities, suppliers and weights.
Previously, all this data had to be reviewed and summarized manually, a process that was slow, repetitive and error-prone.
We built an AI-driven automation system that reads these loading sheets and container images, extracts all relevant data and generates a structured summary - instantly and with full accuracy.
The Challenge
Every incoming container came with spreadsheets and photos that needed to be analyzed and compiled into a unified overview.
That meant manually parsing hundreds of entries across files and formats to determine:
- Which containers were delivered and by whom
- What tree species and dimensions each load contained
- Total quantities and weights per shipment
It was a tedious process that took valuable time away from operations and made scaling the workflow difficult.
Our Approach
We developed a custom AI automation pipeline designed specifically for Tori Timber's workflow.
Our solution included:
- AI-powered data extraction: reading structured and unstructured spreadsheet data across varying formats.
- Computer vision integration: analyzing container images to detect identifiers and read labels for weights and IDs.
- Automated summaries: generating complete overviews of all containers, species, lengths, quantities and suppliers.
- Quality checks: built-in validation layers to flag inconsistencies and ensure reliability.
The result is a seamless process that turns complex, messy data into clean, actionable information.
The Outcome
The system now processes all incoming shipment data automatically, producing clear summaries ready for logistics, accounting and reporting.
- Data processing time cut by 90%.
- Manual errors virtually eliminated.
- Full visibility across all delivered containers.
- Reliable records for auditing and planning.
What once took hours of manual work now happens faster, cleaner and completely automatically.
