Build a delivery log from delivery notes

Delivery notes and manifests pile up as PDFs from carriers and warehouses. Altera turns them into one delivery log you can sort, check, and share.

The challenge

References often combine several codes in one field, and the same delivery can show up on more than one document. Cleaning that up by hand doesn't scale.

Documents it handles

  • Delivery notes
  • Shipping manifests
  • Packing lists
  • Carrier reports

The workflow

This is a live canvas: drag the nodes around, or zoom with the controls.

Step by step

  1. 1
    PDF Converter

    Extract the deliveries

    Highlight the delivery table in the PDF Converter to turn it into rows.

  2. 2
    Text Parser

    Split combined references

    Split a reference like ORD-4821/DEP-07 into separate order and depot columns.

  3. 3
    Unique

    Remove duplicates

    Keep one row per delivery, even when it appears on several documents.

  4. 4
    Sort · Export

    Sort and export

    Sort by delivery date and export the log to Excel or CSV.

What you get

  • One delivery log instead of a folder of PDFs
  • No duplicate deliveries in your reports
  • Refresh the log whenever new documents arrive
