Doc2cart

Doc2cart is a specialized service designed to bridge the gap between static documents and dynamic e-commerce shopping carts. It leverages advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to intelligently analyze and extract product information from tables within various document formats, including PDFs and images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF). The core mission of Doc2cart is to streamline the B2B ordering process, eliminating tedious manual data entry and reducing errors by allowing customers to upload purchase orders, quotes, or parts lists and have the items automatically added to their online cart.

The platform is built for flexibility, offering multiple integration paths to suit different business needs. Developers can utilize a powerful and secure API for custom workflows, while businesses seeking a quick-to-implement solution can embed a user-friendly, multi-step 'Analysis Wizard' directly into their storefront. This wizard guides users through the entire process, from upload to final cart confirmation, and is highly customizable with various themes and language options.

How to use Doc2cart

Doc2cart offers a streamlined four-step workflow and multiple ways to integrate its functionality:

1. Upload Document: The user starts by uploading a document (PDF or image file) containing product information.
2. AI Analysis: The system's advanced OCR engine processes the document, identifies tables, and extracts product data like identifiers and quantities with high accuracy.
3. Review & Approve: The user is presented with an intuitive interface to review the extracted data. They can select the correct columns for product identifiers and quantities, and choose which rows to import.
4. Export or Integrate: Once validated, the data can be exported as a CSV or JSON file, or more powerfully, integrated directly into an e-commerce system to populate the shopping cart.

You can implement this functionality via:

• Powerful API: For full control and custom integration, developers can use the secure REST API. Every request is authenticated using API keys and a digital signature, allowing for direct interaction with endpoints for uploading documents and retrieving analysis results.
• Document Analysis Wizard: An embeddable, iframe-based UI that provides a complete, step-by-step user experience. It handles the entire workflow and communicates with the parent application via `postMessage` events for a seamless integration.
• E-commerce Extensions: Pre-built plugins for platforms like Shopify and Shopware 6 are available for effortless, no-code integration, adding a 'Import from Document' button directly to your store.

Use Cases for Doc2cart

Doc2cart is ideal for B2B e-commerce platforms and suppliers where customers frequently order from pre-defined lists:

• Purchase Order Automation: A corporate customer can upload a purchase order (PO) in PDF format, and all listed products are automatically added to their cart for checkout.
• Quotation to Order Conversion: A sales team sends a quote to a client. The client can then upload the quote to the e-commerce site to instantly create an order with the correct items and quantities.
• Ordering from Parts Lists: Technicians or engineers in the field can upload a parts list or bill of materials from a service manual or project plan to quickly order all necessary components.
• Bulk Order Entry: Customers with large, complex orders can prepare them in a spreadsheet, save it as a PDF, and upload it to avoid manually adding hundreds of items to the cart one by one.
