Frequently Asked Questions

What is Advance Shipping Notice?
An Advance Shipping Notice (ASN) is a document that provides detailed information about a pending delivery. The purpose of an ASN is to notify the recipient when shipping occurs and provide physical characteristics about the shipment. In this way, the recipient can prepare him- or herself to accept delivery. 

An ASN gives information about the date on which the parcel will be shipped, which items are being shipped, how many of each item is being shipped and physical characteristics such as the weight, number of boxes and type of packaging. 

An ASN also tells the recipient which mode of transportation is being used and provides information about the carrier.
How much does Advance Shipping Notice OCR cost?
The pricing structure for Klippa ASN capturing depends on the amount of fields and the document volume. Both pay per use and monthly licenses are available. 

Get in contact with our product specialists to get an exact quote.
What types of ASNs are supported?
Depending on the EDI standard used, various terms are used to refer to an ASN. In the GS1 EANCOM standard, it is called the DESDAV (despatch advice message), whereas in the ANSI X12 EDI standard it is called the EDI 856 Advance Ship Notice, also sometimes simply called a Ship Notice/Manifest. 

In general, we support all these types of ASNs, but in case you wonder if we support a certain Advance Shipping Notice or have any other question, feel free to contact us.
What kind of clients are using Klippa?
Klippa’s engine extracts as much data as possible from Advance Shipping Notices via OCR and machine learning. We support many different types of clients, because our engine is so versatile. 

It is most commonly used by clients in the logistics, customs and transportation sector.
What languages does Klippa support?
All European languages are supported. Our engine performs best on ASNs in English, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Italian, Portuguese, English Spanish, German, Hebrew and French. 

Other languages can be supported on request, we’d just need to train our machine learning models.
Is Klippa Advance Shipping Notice capturing GDPR-compliant?
All the services that Klippa offers are fully GDPR-compliant. By default, we use ISO-certified servers within the European Union for processing. If you are not located within the EU, we can also set up servers in a region of choice. 

Next to that, a data processor agreement is in place. We do not store any of your or your customers’ data after processing.
Can Klippa convert Advance Shipping Notices to CSV, XLSX, XML or JSON?
Yes we can. Klippa takes pictures of Advance Shipping Notices, or their PDF equivalents, and converts them to readable text using OCR. From there we use machine learning to turn the text into structured data. 

Most of the time we use JSON for this, but depending on your preferences we can also convert Advance Shipping Notices to CSV, XLSX or XML.
