ShippingWhat stands in the way

A shipping line sells space on a schedule, and its customers want what they get from every other service: a price now, a booking online and the truth about where the cargo is.

01The pressure

Where shipping lines lose bookings

Five problems that are common in this industry, and what we build against each one.

TodayWhat we build
01

Bookings made by email

Customers send requests and wait for confirmation.

Booking tools

We build online booking with schedules, rates, equipment and instant confirmation.

02

Tracking that says little

The tracking page shows a port and a date, and nothing about delays.

Tracking portals

We build tracking with milestones, revised arrival estimates and proactive alerts.

03

Documents delayed by corrections

Instructions and drafts go back and forth by email until the cut-off.

Document workflows

We build online submission and approval of shipping instructions and documents.

04

Invoices disputed and unpaid

Charges are queried by email, and cargo release waits for payment.

Payment systems

We build online invoices, dispute handling and payment linked to release.

05

Customers without an overview

Regular shippers cannot see their bookings, documents and spend together.

Customer dashboards

We build customer accounts that bring bookings, documents, invoices and spend reports into one place.

02All in one studio

Everything we build for shipping

Design, engineering and AI in one team, so the website, the apps, the back office and the agents are made to work together.

05Before the first call

Asked before the first call

Short answers to the questions that usually come first. The rest is settled in scoping.

Yes, through their interfaces and industry message standards. We plan this with your IT team from the start.

Yes. Contract rates, allocations and surcharges are applied per customer, and shown when they book.

Yes. The same functions can be offered as an API, so their systems book and track directly.
