Scan Shipping Labels Directly to Excel in Seconds (Power Automate AI Tutorial)

Stop wasting time manually typing shipping label data into Excel spreadsheets! This tutorial shows you how to scan any shipping label with your phone camera and automatically extract all the data straight into Excel using Power Automate and AI Builder.

If you work in shipping, receiving, or warehouse operations, you know the pain of copying tracking numbers, addresses, and shipping details by hand. One scan with this AI system captures everything - tracking numbers, service levels, weights, dimensions, PO references, and complete to/from addresses - all formatted perfectly in your Excel sheet.

📦 Perfect for These Operations:
1️⃣ Warehouse receiving teams are processing dozens of packages daily
2️⃣ RMA and returns departments tracking incoming shipments
3️⃣ Small business owners managing shipping logs manually
4️⃣ Logistics coordinators who need real-time shipping data
5️⃣ Anyone tired of typing shipping information by hand

🤖 What Makes This Different:
Unlike barcode scanners that only capture tracking numbers, this AI system reads the entire shipping label like a human would. It extracts sender and recipient addresses, service types, weights, dimensions, and reference numbers all in one scan. The data goes directly into Excel Online with proper formatting, ready for filtering, sorting, or dashboard creation.

🛠️ Tools You'll Need:
Microsoft Power Automate (included with Office 365), AI Builder with document processing, Excel Online, and the Power Automate mobile app on your phone. No expensive barcode scanners, no manual CSV imports, no typing required.

⚡ How It Works:
The mobile app captures the shipping label photo, sends it to our custom AI Builder prompt, extracts all relevant data into JSON format, and then automatically creates a new row in your Excel spreadsheet. The entire process takes under 10 seconds from scan to Excel entry.
