The problem
Goods arrive before their paperwork clears.
Freight invoices, proof of delivery, packing lists and ASNs each have to be read, checked against the order and keyed into SAP by hand. The goods have moved; the record has not.
What comes into Artificio
From any logistics document to SAP.
Freight moves on paperwork: from carriers, from the warehouse, from customers. Artificio takes it in whatever form it arrives and turns it into structured, validated SAP data.
From carriers
- Freight invoices
- Bills of lading
- Proof of delivery
- Carrier statements
From the warehouse
- Packing lists
- Delivery notes
- ASNs / inbound notices
- Goods receipt slips
From customers & trade
- Purchase orders
- Order changes
- Commercial invoices
- Customs documents

Across the operation
Automation by logistics function.
One platform across the operation. Each area validated against SAP and executed directly in it. Explore the solution for the function you own.
- 01
Freight Invoice Audit & AP
SAP FI · MMLogistics specialtyFreight is where money leaks. Artificio captures carrier invoices, audits them against contracted rates, shipments and delivery data, flags overcharges and duplicate bills, routes disputes, and posts only the clean, verified charges to SAP, so you stop paying for freight you didn't agree to.
- 02
Delivery & Proof of Delivery
SAP SD · LETurn proof-of-delivery documents, signed delivery notes and carrier confirmations into SAP delivery updates: confirm deliveries, capture discrepancies and short-ships, and close the loop so billing and inventory reflect what actually arrived.
- 03
Inbound & Goods Receipt
SAP MM · WMRead packing lists, ASNs and supplier delivery notes and post goods receipts to SAP: matched against the PO, with quantity and item discrepancies flagged, so inbound stock is recorded accurately and fast, not re-keyed at the dock.
- 04
Order Management
SAP SDTurn inbound customer POs (in any format, from any customer), into validated SAP sales orders, and handle order changes automatically, so orders don't wait in an inbox and shipments go out on time.
- 05
Master Data
SAP MM · SD · WMCreate and govern material, customer, vendor and warehouse master: duplicate-checked, validated across every view, and governed through a cross-department workflow. Load data fast and clean for an S/4HANA migration, then govern it day to day.
Built for exceptions
Automation that knows when not to automate.
Straight-through transactions are the easy part. The real work is what happens when things don't match, and that's where most automation quietly breaks. Artificio handles the clean cases automatically and routes exceptions to the right person, with the SAP context needed to resolve them.

More than document AI
Why a distributor shouldn't just buy OCR.
Generic document AI can read a freight invoice. It can't check the contracted rate, match it to the shipment, apply your business rules, handle the dispute, post the transaction, or prove what happened. That's the part that actually protects your margin.

Where distributors lose money
What does unaudited freight cost you?
Take your monthly freight invoices and the share that carries an error. A wrong rate, a duplicate, an accessorial you never agreed to. It adds up fast, and most of it posts unchecked.

Customer proof
Freight audit, on every invoice.
A distributor running SAP put every carrier invoice through Artificio (captured, matched to shipment and contracted rate, overcharges and duplicates flagged, and only verified charges posted to SAP), turning a spot-check process into full audit coverage without adding headcount.
