“Operators spend more time serving key accounts”

"In addition to fewer errors and delays, operators are now spending next to no time on manual data entry and more time serving key customer accounts, which will no doubt have a major impact on company performance and profitability.”

Processing Technology

Straight through processing

Create and post import jobs into CargoWiseOne with zero human input for faster turnaround times. All documents contained in your emails are automatically scanned by Shipamax, processed in real-time and automatically posted to CargoWiseOne, updating or creating a console or shipment.

Document Grouping

Smart document grouping

Logistics can be chaotic - documents come in at different times in different shapes and sizes. By evaluating Master and House Bills in context, Shipamax validates that the correct information has been received and groups documents before creating and posting information to the correct jobs in CargoWiseOne - finally enabling straight-through processing direct from your inbox. Missing documents are identified and highlighted in our exception manager - ensuring nothing slips.

Data Extraction

Over 24 granular data attributes extracted

With no templates to manage, Shipamax understands the context of each document and identifies the most relevant information. Shipamax extracts over 24 unique data attributes from both Master and House Bills of Lading, including MBL number, HBL number, carrier name, container type, container number, consignee, exporter ref, voyage, vessel and more.
