Freight visibility and document automation for a forwarder moving 40,000 containers a year on email and spreadsheets.
Status updates lived in mailboxes. Bills of lading and customs paperwork were retyped three times per shipment, and a single transposed digit could hold a container at port for days.
- 01
Documents that read themselves
Bills of lading, invoices and customs forms are extracted, validated against the booking and flagged when they disagree, before submission.
- 02
One timeline per container
Carrier, port and telematics feeds merge into a single live timeline that customers can see without emailing anyone.
- 03
Exceptions, not inboxes
The team only sees shipments that need a decision. Everything on schedule moves itself forward.
Document handling shrank from tens of minutes to a few per shipment, and port holds caused by paperwork errors effectively disappeared.
