// The problem

Shipping documents weren't designed for your systems.

Handwritten fields, inconsistent formats, scanned at odd angles — the documents themselves are the bottleneck. Every one that enters your operation costs time and money before anyone even touches a keyboard.

// What goes wrong

01 Handwritten BOLs arrive blurred, creased, or partially illegible
02 Every carrier uses a different format — no standardization
03 Critical fields (PO#, qty, weight) are buried in noise
04 One wrong digit cascades through inventory, billing, and dispatch

// The solution

A pipeline that reads documents like your best operator — at machine speed.

Volttus sits between your inbound documents and your systems. Every document is ingested, classified, extracted, validated, and delivered — without manual intervention.

Data: ca-central-1

All processing on Canadian infrastructure. Your data never crosses the border.

Software Company

Not outsourced labour. Proprietary technology that works 24/7 without breaks.

// Industries served

Built it for supply chain.

Not generic "document processing." Tailored solutions for logistics, distribution, and manufacturing businesses in Ontario.

Customs & Manifest Automation

Logistics & 3PL

Eliminate the bottleneck at the border.

A missing field on a Commercial Invoice means a cargo hold. A typo in a tariff code triggers a CFIA review. Your customs brokers spend hours retyping documents that should flow directly into CargoWise or Descartes.

// The bottleneck

  • Commercial Invoices arrive via email, portal, fax — no standard format
  • Customs declarations (B3) require 100% accurate tariff classification and valuation
  • Master/House AWBs reference multiple shipments across multiple pages
  • One error means storage fees, missed flights, and angry customers
  • Customs brokers can't bill until data is entered and validated

High-Velocity Order Processing

Wholesale Distribution

Stop paying staff to type orders.

Your customers send orders as PDFs attached to emails. Your team manually keys each line item into your ERP — SKU, quantity, price, shipping address. It's repetitive, error-prone, and scales exactly as poorly as you think it does.

// The bottleneck

  • Customer POs arrive as PDFs — every retailer has a different format
  • SKU codes on the PO don't always match your internal item codes
  • Line-item pricing must be validated against customer agreements
  • Ship-to addresses are often incomplete or ambiguous
  • Order entry backlog creates same-day shipment pressure

Supply Chain Synchronization

Manufacturing

Close the gap between receiving and inventory.

When raw materials arrive at your dock, the clock starts. Your receiving team compares the packing list against the PO, enters discrepancies into your ERP, and generates receipts for accounts payable. One wrong item code and you're chasing phantom inventory for weeks.

// The bottleneck

  • Supplier POs arrive as email attachments — no EDI for smaller vendors
  • Mill Test Reports (MTRs) contain critical certification data that must be preserved
  • Packing lists don't match your internal item codes or units of measure
  • Quantity discrepancies require supplier follow-up and documentation
  • AP can't pay invoices until PO, packing list, and receipt are reconciled

Hamilton, ON.
Industrial roots. Engineering DNA.

Hamilton isn't a tech hub. It's a city that builds things — steel mills, shipping terminals, the infrastructure that keeps an economy running.

That's where Volttus was built. We understand that logistics can't pause for a software demo, and that the companies moving physical goods across Ontario need tools that work without babysitting.

We're not a VC-backed startup chasing the next pivot. We're engineers solving a specific, expensive problem for the companies that keep the GTA's supply chain moving.
