Overview:
Carrier paperwork often arrives as one PDF containing several distinct documents — a POD, a rate confirmation, an invoice. Document Splitting is a new capability in Augie's document collection pipeline: it detects where each document starts and ends inside the file, splits it into individual child documents by type, uploads each to the TMS under the correct document type, and forwards only the document types your SOP specifies. Reps stop pulling bundled files apart by hand, and margin-sensitive documents stay out of customer threads.
How this differs from document classification:
Augie already classified what a document was. Document Splitting goes further — it separates the physical file, so each document travels alone: typed correctly in the TMS, filtered correctly when forwarded.
Why It Matters:
Reps no longer split bundled carrier files by hand before every TMS upload — the prep step disappears from the workflow.
Rate confirmations don't reach customers by accident. Forwarding a bundled packet risks exposing the margin on the load; Augie forwards only the document types the brokerage's SOP allows.
TMS records stay clean. TMS uploads are typed by document, and a file labeled "POD" that secretly contains an invoice and a rate con pollutes the record — splitting means each upload contains only the pages of its type.
How It Works:
When a multi-document PDF arrives, Augie identifies the start page, end page, and type of each distinct document inside it.
Each segment becomes its own child document, named with the original filename plus the page range it came from (e.g.
billing_package_p4-5.pdf), preserving an audit trail back to the original file.Augie uploads each child document to the TMS under its correct document type.
When forwarding to the customer, Augie sends only the document types specified in the brokerage's SOP — typically the POD, never the rate con.
If a file can't be split safely (e.g. very large files), Augie handles the original conservatively rather than uploading it with an incorrect type.
Availability:
On by default for brokerages using Augie for document collection, as of July 13, 2026. Applies to PDF attachments. Coming next: document-type labels on forwarded child document filenames.
