ERP Integration: Container OCR API

The Disconnect in Enterprise Logistics Data

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems govern modern supply chains, but they suffer from a massive disconnect when it comes to physical freight. When container IDs are manually entered into an ERP by dispatchers or yard clerks, human error inevitably corrupts the database. These typos lead to billing disputes, lost tracking milestones, and severe compliance issues with customs authorities. To see how our engine acts as a flawless automated bridge between the physical yard and your database, you can upload a test image to explore our core Container OCR capabilities completely free.

A REST API Built for Enterprise Ecosystems

Delivered strictly as a high-performance REST API to ensure seamless integration into any commercial ERP (such as SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics) without heavy SDK dependencies, this endpoint is powered by our Logistics Container OCR engine. It acts as a universal middleware for your supply chain data. The engine applies strict ISO 6346 validation on the fly, instantly calculating check digits to guarantee that only perfectly accurate Container Codes trigger your enterprise financial and operational workflows.

Integration & AI Prompts

Call the endpoint directly via HTTP from your ERP middleware or integration platform (like MuleSoft or SAP PI). To maintain maximum enterprise security, the API flexibly accepts direct multipart file uploads or Base64-encoded strings, avoiding the need to expose images on public URLs.

import requests
import base64

# Prepare Base64 Image from logistics edge device to push to ERP
with open("freight_yard_capture.jpg", "rb") as image_file:
    base64_image = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode('utf-8')

headers = {
    "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",

}
payload = {
    "img": base64_image
}

try:
    print("Scanning Container for ERP Sync...")
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
    result = response.json()

    if result.get('success'):
        data = result['data']

    else:
        print(f"❌ Extraction Failed: {result.get('error')} - {result.get('message')}")
