A Proprietary Platform to Re-define Shipment Documentation for Shipping, Trucking, Air Express, Freight Forwarding and 4PL

Leveraging the Trifecta of Domain Expertise, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

Shipping & Logistics companies are facing unprecedented change as digitization rapidly gains ground in the industry. While asset-based carriers, forwarders and brokers have invested in digitizing various areas of the supply chain, some gaps remain. The processing of documents such as bills of lading, consignment notes, air waybills, commercial invoices, packing lists, is still, in many cases, a labor-intensive, time-consuming and paper-based process.

The completely manual, repetitive and error-prone paper-based process results in numerous challenges:

  • Multiple document templates customers use often lead to inconsistencies

  • Errors in data capture due to manual data entry and shipper-specific business rules adversely impact delivery, customs clearance and invoicing

  • Delays in receiving shipment information impedes operational planning and supply chain visibility
