Core Capabilities

Complete coverage of the document journey, from drafting to release

One-click B/L drafting

B/L, packing list, invoice and manifest are auto-drafted from booking data — product name, marks, packages and weights carry over, apply a template and the doc is ready.

Original / telex switching

Switch between original B/L, telex release and sea waybill in one click; choose the issuance method per shipment, with original and telex release fully under control.

Online SI flow

Customers submit SI online, operators verify and draft, and overdue SIs are flagged automatically — goodbye to email back-and-forth and repeated re-drafts.

Sign-off & release control

SI → confirm → sign-off → release runs online with node-level permissions; every sign-off and release action is fully logged and traceable.

Document template library

Built-in templates for HBL/MBL, packing list, invoice, certificate of origin and insurance, configurable by carrier and customer format.

Version & issuance trail

Every document's version changes, SI records and issuance actions are retained, so errors can be traced to the person and timestamp, reducing claim risk.

Use Cases

Flexibly adapts to different business models

01
FCL ocean export docs

For FCL ocean shipments, draft B/L, packing list and invoice in one batch, switching between original issuance and telex release per the customer's need.

02
LCL multi-house SI

For LCL co-loads on the same vessel, each house B/L's SI is submitted and verified online, with overdue SIs auto-flagged so no shipment is missed.

03
Fast sea-waybill release

For long-term customers on contracts, sea waybills (SWB) skip original handling — confirm the SI and release immediately, shortening release lead time.
