Converting air freight documents into IATA-compliant Cargo-XML files is rarely straightforward. Documents like Air Waybills (AWBs) often arrive in unstructured formats such as PDFs, scans, or email attachments, with layouts that vary across partners and regions. Extracting the right data, structuring it accurately, and validating it against IATA standards requires more than just basic OCR.
Unstructured documents: AWBs often arrive as scans or PDFs, making it difficult to extract key details.
e-AWB and Cargo-XML compliance: Manually meeting Cargo-XML and e-AWB standards is slow and prone to errors.
Risk of errors: Manual data entry can lead to issues like incorrect IATA codes or missing fields, which can delay shipments or trigger compliance problems.
Scalability issues: Processing high volumes of AWBs is difficult to manage without automation in place.
How Klippa Streamlines Air Freight Data Structuring With Automation
Klippa DocHorizon uses AI and machine learning to extract shipment data from AWBs and other air cargo documents. The platform automatically maps and validates this data against IATA Cargo-XML standards, helping teams deliver compliant, structured outputs without manual rework.
Klippa combines cutting-edge AI technology with user-friendly tools to transform how air freight data is extracted, validated, and structured. Klippa’s key features include:

No code platform
Build custom workflows, configure processes, and process documents without technical coding expertise.
20+ formats supported
We support JSON, CSV, PDF, XML, XLS, XLSX, UBL, PNG, TIFF, DOC, DOCX, JPG, and many more.
Multi-page processing
Upload multi-page documents to ensure scalable, efficient, and data extraction or validation workflow.
Ensured data protection
At Klippa, we ensure that our solutions process files in full compliance with regulatory standards.
Klippa uses a combination of AI technologies such as computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning. These AI technologies are used together with OCR to automate document processing.
As soon as we receive the picture or PDF, our OCR software will convert it to a TXT file. The parser takes the TXT which was extracted by the OCR in the previous step and converts it into JSON, using machine learning algorithms. Then, the JSON is returned as output from the API.
Yes, Klippa’s AI-powered can recognize and extract text from handwritten documents. However, the accuracy depends on the clarity and legibility of the handwriting as well as the quality of the uploaded document or image.
Moreover, with our latest prompt builder, you can process all kinds of documents you can imagine. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Klippa supports all Latin-alphabet languages, including Dutch, English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Greek, and more. Hebrew is currently in BETA. Additional languages can be supported upon request. Schedule a call if you have questions regarding language support.
What How does Klippa ensure compliance with IATA Cargo-XML standers?
Klippa validates extracted data against IATA schemas and can enforce custom business rules. This ensures that required fields are populated, codes are accurate (e.g. UN/LOCODE, IATA airport codes), and the output matches regulatory expectations.
Klippa’s software accuracy can vary depending on the quality of the document or images that are uploaded to the OCR engine, and the software used. Klippa’s uses OCR, AI and machine learning to achieve high data extraction accuracy, up to 99%.
Our data capture APIs can be implemented into any software, web or mobile solution that you may be using. The main source of communication is JSON, so it is independent of specific programming languages.
Our mobile SDKs have been built using native IOS (Swift) and native Android (Kotlin). This means they can be implemented into native apps, but they can also be wrapped for cross-platform languages such as Xamarin, ReactNative, Nativescript, Flutter, PhoneGap, Cordova, Ionic and more.
On our no-code IDP platform, you can access our APIs and configure your document workflows, as well as set up your own Human-in-the-loop process.Klippa’s solutions are made in a developer-friendly way. It is well-documented, so that you can have all the information for successful implementation.
The default response contains structured JSON. This allows fast processing of the extracted data. Upon request the JSON structure can be changed for your API key. To learn more about the exact structure, read our documentation.
Yes, it is possible to test our IDP platform before committing. You can do that by signing up to our platform and test our solution with free credits. We also provide a developer-friendly documentation that can help you in the process.
Can Klippa handle both e-AWB and traditional AWB formats?
Yes. Klippa supports both electronic Air Waybills (e-AWB) and traditional paper-based AWBs by digitizing and mapping their content into structured formats like Cargo-XML.
