Document handling encompasses the automatic creation, processing, management, and delivery of documents within logistics and industrial processes. It ensures that all relevant documents are complete, accurate, and available at the right time.

Document handling includes, among other things, the creation, assignment, archiving, forwarding, and issuance of shipping labels, delivery notes, waybills, customs documents, and other process-related documents. Through integration with ERP, WMS, and transport management systems, documents are automatically linked to the corresponding orders or shipments. This reduces manual steps, prevents errors, and increases the transparency and efficiency of the entire process chain.

Practical example:

After automatic measurement is complete, the system generates all necessary shipping documents, assigns them to the shipment, and transmits them digitally to the warehouse management system.
