Convert Bill of lading to Excel
Drop a bill of lading into Docusift and get a clean Excel back in seconds. No templates to maintain, no model training, no manual cleanup. Works on native PDFs, scans, and mobile photos alike.
A bill of lading is the legal record of a shipment, but the shipper and consignee blocks, the carrier details, and the freight description are scattered across a form whose layout changes with every carrier and freight forwarder. One transposed container number can hold a container at the port.
Docusift reads the shipper, consignee, carrier, BOL number, container and seal numbers, and each line of freight into structured fields — the moment the document hits the dock — so operations can clear and track a shipment without re-keying the paperwork.
The Excel export arrives as a real .xlsx workbook with typed columns — numbers as numbers, dates as dates — so formulas, filters, and pivot tables work the moment you open it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a bill of lading to Excel?
Upload the bill of lading to Docusift via the dashboard or REST API. Docusift extracts every field, row, and table, then returns a clean Excel ready to download or push to your accounting tool — typically inside a second per page.
Is there a free bill of lading to Excel converter?
Yes. Docusift's free tier covers 100 pages per month with no credit card required. That's enough to convert most monthly batches of bill of lading for a small team.
What bill of lading layouts are supported?
Any layout. Docusift parses the document visually rather than matching against a template, so it works on layouts it has never seen before — including multi-page, multi-column, and scanned variants.
Will the Excel match the original column order?
Yes. Docusift preserves the source structure where it makes sense and lets you remap columns or fields via a single config call when you need a different shape.
Do I need to train a model first?
No. Docusift recognizes hundreds of document types out of the box. Custom fields are configured with a single sentence — no labeled training data required.
How is pricing calculated?
Pay per page processed. There is a free tier for evaluation and volume discounts for production workloads. No seat fees.
Can Docusift handle scanned or photographed documents?
Yes. The pipeline runs OCR + layout analysis + extraction in one pass, so scans, mobile photos, and native PDFs all flow through the same endpoint.
