What you'll be able to do

Drill 3 of the Freight & Logistics track. You build the paperwork desk for a freight broker, turning scanned Bills of Lading and Proofs of Delivery into posted records, held discrepancies and a review queue. The number it is measured on is the share of documents it can post without a person looking, at an error rate the business can live with.

⌁ Vendors of freight document automation, such as bill of lading and proof of delivery parsers, sell on the share of documents a customer no longer has to key by hand. This drill is about measuring that share honestly, at a stated error rate, instead of reporting accuracy.
