Questions people ask
- Do signed and stamped delivery copies work?
- Yes, and they are the common case — a driver's photo of a stamped BOL reads the same as a clean office copy. Where a stamp covers a number outright we say so rather than guessing.
- Can drivers forward these from the road?
- That is the intended use. They photograph the BOL, send it to the sheet's address, and the row is there within seconds without anyone at the office typing it.
- I work in Excel. Can I get the data out of Google Sheets?
- Yes, and it is Google's feature rather than ours: Google Sheets will download any sheet as .xlsx or .csv from its own File menu, and it opens in Excel from there. What we build and keep filling is the Google Sheet itself — we never produce an Excel file, so anything forwarded later adds a row to the sheet and not to a copy you have already taken off it.
- What if one scan holds several bills of lading?
- Each one becomes its own row. We tell you how many we found before the sheet is created, and you can correct it in one click if we got it wrong.
- Do photos from a phone work?
- Usually, yes — including stamped, stapled and hand-annotated copies. If a photo of a bill of lading is too blurry to read we say so rather than inventing a row.
- Who can see my Google Sheet?
- Only people you give the link to. The link is unguessable, anyone holding it can edit the sheet, and we never share it with anyone else.
- Do you keep my bills of lading?
- No. We keep the extracted row, not the document. The file is discarded once your sheet is built.
- How does forwarding work?
- Your sheet gets its own address at in.tosheet.ai. Forward a document there — from your own mailbox, or straight from whoever sends them to you — and ToSheet.ai adds its row within seconds. You never have to open this site again.
