The Right Answer to Carrier Rate Sheet Processing
Every solution in the market starts with a fixed approach and asks the rate sheet to conform to it. The automation tool works when the carrier format matches its rules. The AI platform works when the data is clean and structured. The EDI network works when the carrier has joined.
Why a Disconnected RMS and TMS Is Costing Freight Forwarders More Than They Think
Most forwarders treat this as a minor automation upgrade instead of what it actually is: the one point in the business where a pricing decision either survives contact with operations, or quietly falls apart.
Why AI Alone Can't Process Real Carrier Rate Files
A carrier sends a new tariff. It's a 700-page PDF. Somewhere in it, an old rate got crossed out and replaced, and both versions are still sitting in the file with nothing marking which one is current.
Six months ago, every analyst agreed: overcapacity was building, demand was softening, rates were heading down. That picture was accurate. It is now incomplete.
Since February 28, the Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed. As of May 20, Straits.live recorded 2 vessel transits against a pre-crisis baseline of 95 per day.
