LOGISTICS

Paperwork that moves as fast as freight.

We automate booking, documentation, tracking and billing work for carriers, forwarders and 3PLs. Shipments stop waiting on keyboards.

PRESSURES IN THE SECTOR

Every shipment creates a stack of documents.

A single consignment can generate a booking request, a commercial invoice, a packing list, a bill of lading or air waybill, customs entries, delivery notes and a freight invoice. Much of it arrives by email or portal and is keyed into a TMS or WMS by hand.

Margins are thin and customers expect live visibility. Operations teams spend hours checking carrier websites for status and reconciling freight bills against rate cards. That time comes straight out of margin.

Fragmented counterparties.

Carriers, terminals and customs systems each have their own portals and formats.

Billing disputes.

Accessorial charges and rate mismatches lead to overbilling and delayed collections.

Visibility demands.

Customers want status updates without calling an account manager.

USE CASES

Where automation pays in logistics.

Booking and order entry

Read booking requests from email and customer portals and create shipments in the TMS with validated addresses and service codes.

01

Shipment documentation

Extract data from commercial invoices and packing lists, then prepare bills of lading, air waybills and shipping instructions for review.

02

Freight invoice audit

Compare carrier invoices to rate cards, contracts and actual shipment data, and raise disputes for overcharges and duplicate bills.

03

Proof of delivery capture

Read signed delivery notes and POD images, match them to shipments and close orders so billing can start.

04

Track and trace updates

Poll carrier portals and APIs, normalise status events and push exceptions such as delays and holds to customers and planners.

05

Customs data preparation

Classify line items with suggested tariff codes for review, compile declarations and track clearance status.

06

Warehouse operations support

Create inbound ASNs, reconcile cycle counts and generate dispatch documents from WMS data.

07

Customer billing

Compile charges per shipment, apply contract rules and issue invoices with supporting documents attached.

08

Claims and damages

Register damage and shortage claims, collect photographs and documents, and track carrier responses to closure.

09
DOMAIN AND COMPLIANCE

Considerations we design for.

  • Customs declarations reviewed by a licensed person before submission
  • Tariff code suggestions shown with confidence and source, never filed blindly
  • Consignee personal data protected under the DPDP Act 2023 and GDPR
  • GST e-way bill data validated against invoice and vehicle details
  • Carrier portal credentials vaulted and rotated per carrier
  • Event-driven triggers for status changes instead of blind polling where APIs allow
  • Dispute evidence retained per shipment for the contract claim window
  • Time-zone aware scheduling for global lanes
WHAT TYPICALLY CHANGES

Recovered

Freight overcharges

Every carrier bill is checked against the contract.

Proactive

Exception alerts

Minutes

Document prep

Shipping documents are drafted from source data in minutes.

FAQ

Questions we hear first.

Can't see yours? Ask an automation architect

Can you work with many carrier portals?

Yes. We prefer carrier APIs and EDI. For portals without APIs, we build reusable adapters with health checks that detect layout changes.

Will AI file customs entries on its own?

No. AI suggests classifications and drafts declarations. A licensed customs professional reviews and submits.

How do you read handwritten proof of delivery notes?

Document AI reads printed fields reliably and flags handwriting or stamps it cannot read with confidence for human review.

Which TMS and WMS platforms do you work with?

We work with common commercial platforms and in-house systems. Integration is through APIs where available and UI automation otherwise.
