# What will AGI do for ETA Data Extraction?

## Overview

Freight forwarders and supply chain coordinators receive hundreds of daily shipping updates across emails, PDFs, and portal alerts. Each message contains critical Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) data buried in unstructured text or inconsistent tables. Operators manually open these documents, locate the revised timestamps, and key them into internal Transportation Management Systems to keep cargo moving.

The friction stems from the sheer variability of carrier communications. A single shipment's ETA often changes multiple times in transit, communicated via distinct formats ranging from automated system alerts to casual email replies from port agents. Because terms like arrival, discharge, and berthing are used interchangeably but mean different things operationally, identifying the exact actionable ETA requires domain context.

Legacy data extraction tools rely on rigid templates or rules-based Optical Character Recognition. The moment a shipping line updates its PDF layout or an agent writes a free-text update, these parsers fail and drop the data into an exception queue. This forces logistics teams to rely on manual human review to interpret and extract time-sensitive routing adjustments, creating data entry bottlenecks when shipment volumes spike.
