Logistics & Trade
From trade documents to one connected operating data stream.
Trade documents arrive from many parties, in many formats, and describe the same shipment in different ways. Digitization here means linking bills of lading, manifests, invoices, packing lists, and warehouse records into one shipment record, with a traceable line from document to goods, partner, and vehicle. The result is a consistent data stream prepared for tracking, reconciliation, and the systems that run the operation.
DESIGNED FORDesigned for document-heavy trade and logistics operations. Data output enters production only after acceptance on a representative shipment dataset.
Inputs
Typical input data
Bills of lading and manifests
Bills of lading, cargo manifests, and related transport documents.
Invoices and packing lists
Commercial invoices, packing lists, and customs paperwork.
Warehouse and transport documents
Warehouse receipts, delivery notes, and transport records.
Vehicle, consignment, and container files
Files describing vehicles, consignments, and containers.
Import-export dossiers
Import-export records and documents exchanged with counterparties.
Challenges
Hard problems we solve
Many document types and partners
Every shipment passes through several parties, formats, and document types.
Inconsistent goods and shipment codes
Goods and consignment codes are not used consistently across documents.
Duplicate information written many ways
The same partner, place, or item appears under different spellings.
Shipment and timeline linkage
Documents must be linked along the shipment timeline before they are usable.
Reconciliation gaps
Shipped, declared, and invoiced figures rarely agree without reconciliation.
Outputs
Target outputs
Shipment records
One record per shipment, assembled from its documents.
Document-goods-partner-vehicle links
Links across documents, goods, partners, and vehicles.
Reconciliation data and exceptions
Reconciliation output with every exception called out.
Shipment timeline
Milestones ordered along the shipment timeline.
API and dataset for logistics systems
Data that can be configured into existing logistics systems.
Value
Where the value lives
The value is one consistent shipment data layer for tracking, reconciliation, and analysis, with every value traceable to its source document. That is what turns a folder of trade documents into an operating stream.
How to start
Start with one representative dataset
Select a representative dataset, then lock the schema, business rules, critical fields, missing and conflicting-source rules, and acceptance criteria. Run a benchmark against the project's Golden Standard before scaling production.
