Logistics & customs

The filing cannot be late, and the boat does not wait.

Importers live on deadlines set by vessels and regulators, with the documents that prove compliance scattered across a shared mailbox, a carrier portal and a federal system that was not designed to talk to either.

What we have built

Filings tracked, documents matched, deadlines surfaced.

  • Track

    Security filings

    Every ISF ranked by vessel departure, matched against what has actually been filed, with the missing ones visible while there is still time to act.

  • Match

    Mailbox to shipment

    Documents arrive as email attachments and scans. They are OCR'd, read, and matched back to the file by container number or bill of lading — only the unmatched reach a person.

  • Comply

    Supply-chain security

    Dozens of minimum security criteria tracked against a federal programme, each with its own evidence, owner and deadline, surfacing before they lapse rather than at audit.

Both of these run in production today for a customs brokerage. The filing tracker reads a shared mailbox, OCRs what arrives, and reconciles thousands of filings against what is actually on file — leaving a handful of genuine exceptions for a person to work.
