Virtual Document Assistant is an AI-powered bot designed to help logistics teams quickly search, retrieve, and manage documents across ERP, TMS, and cloud storage platforms. It acts like a smart assistant, using natural language queries and contextual understanding to find invoices, delivery notes, customs forms, and internal records, saving time and eliminating the need for manual folder browsing or keyword-based search limitations.
How Virtual Document Assistant Works in Logistics?
The assistant integrates with existing document management systems and indexes metadata, content, and tags across all stored files. Users can interact with the bot through a chatbot interface or voice input to request specific documents. Using natural language processing (NLP), it interprets queries like “Show me the last delivery note from ABC Logistics” or “Find customs documents submitted this month.” It filters results based on content, file type, source, or date, and returns the most relevant matches instantly.
