Hardcoded Industry Logic

The Problem

"Is the shipment cleared" shouldn't mean chasing a broker.

A trading firm needs two real, connected answers: exactly where each shipment stands, and whether its customs paperwork is actually filed and approved. A generic CRM has neither concept.

"Is it in customs hold or already cleared" is a phone call away, not a status field.

Customs documents get emailed as PDFs, with no real revision history or approval trail.

Nothing connects a bill of lading back to the specific shipment and revision it belongs to.

How It Works

From booked to delivered, with paperwork that keeps up

Every shipment is client-linked; every customs document is revision-controlled per shipment.

Step 1

Book the shipment

Trading partner, direction, cargo value, HS code — a real record from day one.

Step 2

Track it in transit

Booked through in-transit, customs hold, cleared, or delivered — a real, queryable status.

Step 3

File the customs paperwork

Bill of lading, commercial invoice, and more, each with a real revision number.

Step 4

Approve and clear

Draft through filed and approved — a real, timestamped approval trail per document.

Use Cases

Where this shows up in your day

Trade Managers

Need to see every shipment's real status across all trading partners.

A real, queryable pipeline, not a spreadsheet.

Logistics Coordinators

Need to know if a shipment is stuck in customs hold.

A real CUSTOMS_HOLD status the whole team sees immediately.

Compliance Teams

Need proof a customs document was actually approved, not just filed.

A real, timestamped approval record per document revision.

Multi-Partner Traders

Run shipments for several trading partners simultaneously.

Shipments and documents scoped correctly per partner, never mixed up.

Walkthrough

One shipment, cleared all the way

An export shipment to Rotterdam is booked for a trading partner, with cargo value and HS code recorded.

As it departs, status moves to In Transit; a bill of lading is drafted against it.

The shipment hits customs hold — status moves to Customs Hold, visible to the whole team instantly.

The bill of lading is filed, then approved — a real, timestamped approval.

The shipment clears customs and reaches Delivered — a real, complete record from booking to delivery.
