MarkDoor's Automation System (LLM-OCR) Introduced at Kamiyama Unyu to Reduce Workforce and Labor Hours

MarkDoor Inc., a company headquartered in Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, led by CEO Mitsuhiro Matsuda and composed primarily of engineers holding PhDs from the University of Tokyo and overseas universities as well as researchers from research institutions, has begun full-scale implementation of its automated system (LLM-OCR) at Kamiyama Unyu Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Matsuyama-machi, Iyo District, Ehime Prefecture, CEO: Tsukasa Kamiyama), achieving automated data conversion of complex documents in the transportation industry.

This initiative targeted various types of documents commonly used in logistics operations—such as purchase orders, dispatch requests, and invoices—that lack standardized formats. The system was tested for its ability to automatically read paper or PDF documents and convert them into usable business data.

As a result, the system achieved approximately 95% data reading accuracy and over 90% master data normalization accuracy, projecting a reduction of four full-time staff equivalents and 7,680 hours of labor annually.

[Background: Reducing Operational Burden and Workforce]

In the transportation and logistics industry, document processing—including invoices, quotations, purchase orders, and dispatch requests—is often handled manually via paper, fax, or PDF, creating operational inefficiencies.

Since document formats vary by client and include inconsistencies in layout and notation, significant time is required for verification, manual data entry, and cross-checking. In operations handling hundreds or thousands of documents, manual input becomes a major burden for staff, leading to input errors, missed checks, and processing delays.

To address these challenges, Kamiyama Unyu sought a solution that could reduce staff workload while improving operational quality—specifically, an automated data conversion system capable of handling irregular, customer-specific document formats.

[System Overview and Proof-of-Concept Results]

MarkDoor's LLM-OCR system goes beyond basic optical character recognition (OCR), offering a customizable automation platform optimized for each client's business workflows and industry-specific document practices.

The system flexibly handles documents with varying layouts and inconsistent notations—challenges that traditional OCR systems struggle with—and structures the extracted information for seamless integration into business operations.

During the proof-of-concept (PoC) phase, the system was tested using actual documents from Kamiyama Unyu's operations, achieving approximately 95% data reading accuracy and over 90% master data normalization accuracy.

These results confirmed significant reductions in manual data entry, minimized human error, and faster processing times.
