The short version
DynamoDocs automates IFS Cloud document entry for logistics and 3PL providers. For logistics and 3PL providers, carrier and freight invoices with accessorial charges plus customer orders arrive in every format and get reconciled by hand. DynamoDocs captures each document, AI reads and classifies it, codes it to cost center and customer or load, validates it, and posts approved records into IFS Cloud through the IFS Cloud REST/OData APIs, so hours go to moving freight instead of reconciling accessorials by hand. IFS Cloud runs ERP, EAM, and field service for asset- and project-intensive enterprises in manufacturing, energy, and aerospace & defense.
The mapping
How Logistics & 3PL paperwork posts into IFS Cloud

A worked example
IFS Cloud for logistics and 3PL providers, from inbox to posted record
Imagine a 3PL provider running IFS Cloud that receives a carrier invoice carrying detention and lumper accessorials, it has to reconcile against the original rate quote. DynamoDocs picks it up from the monitored inbox (or a drag-and-drop upload), and AI reads every field and line, no template required. It is coded to cost center and customer or load from your rules and vendor or customer history, then validated against totals, required fields, and your own checks. Anything that fails is flagged field-by-field for a quick review; everything clean posts straight into IFS Cloud as a supplier invoice through the IFS Cloud REST/OData APIs. Connects through the IFS Cloud REST/OData projection APIs. Your logistics & 3pl team reviews the occasional exception instead of retyping the whole document, so hours go to moving freight instead of reconciling accessorials by hand.

IFS Cloud for Logistics & 3PL FAQ
How does DynamoDocs handle logistics & 3pl documents on IFS Cloud?
For logistics and 3PL providers, carrier and freight invoices with accessorial charges plus customer orders arrive in every format and get reconciled by hand. DynamoDocs captures each of those documents from a monitored mailbox or upload, reads every field with AI (no per-vendor template), codes it to the right cost center and customer or load, and posts it into IFS Cloud through the IFS Cloud REST/OData APIs. Connects through the IFS Cloud REST/OData projection APIs. Clean documents post automatically; only exceptions reach a person, so hours go to moving freight instead of reconciling accessorials by hand.
How does a carrier or freight invoice with accessorial line items post into IFS Cloud?
It becomes a supplier invoice in IFS Cloud, coded to the right cost center and customer or load, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Posts supplier invoices, customer orders, and quotations. A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what IFS Cloud expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.
Can it keep our IFS Cloud coding right for logistics & 3pl?
Yes, that is the point. Each document is coded to the right cost center and customer or load from your rules and vendor or customer history, so records arrive in IFS Cloud already coded instead of waiting on a clerk. Anything that fails a rule is flagged field-by-field for a quick fix, which keeps IFS Cloud clean and hours go to moving freight instead of reconciling accessorials by hand.
How do purchase orders and RFQs from logistics and 3PL providers post into IFS Cloud?
Purchase orders become a customer order and RFQs become a quotation in IFS Cloud, with every line, carrier and freight invoices included, read and validated first. Maps to your IFS company, site, and part numbers, with project references where they apply.
How much time and money does this save logistics and 3PL providers on IFS Cloud?
Keying one document into IFS Cloud typically takes 5–10 minutes and costs $2–$6 in labor, before the cost of fixing mis-coded cost center and customer or load. DynamoDocs does it in seconds and only flags exceptions, which commonly cuts document-handling labor by 80–95% while hours go to moving freight instead of reconciling accessorials by hand.
