For importers and exporters

Fix it at sea.
Not at the border.

One route from the plant to your buyers’ docks. Every paper on it read, checked against the others and chased, while the ship is still at sea.

One container, five stages

Every stage has its own papers.

Follow one reefer of chilled beef from a plant in Uruguay to three buyers in Europe. At each stop, what the AI does and what stays with you.

01The plant · Uruguay · before you sign

Check the plant before you sign.

A plant that is not on the list for your country is a container you cannot land. Registry holds the export approvals of every plant. Carcass AI turns its Spanish price list into your specs.

AI
Checks the plant against the list of every country you sell to, and reads its product names.

The plant, the price and the contract.

Four papers. One set of numbers.

The plant sends the health certificate, packing list and invoice. The shipping line sends the bill of lading. BOSS reads all four and checks that container, seal, cartons and weights agree, before the originals are on a courier.

Thirty days to find what is missing.

Found at the border, a missing certificate costs duty, storage and a buyer’s patience. Found at sea, it costs one email. BOSS knows which papers this route needs and chases the ones that have not come.

The Hilton certificate is missing. Without it the beef pays full duty, not the quota rate. Six days to get it.

One container. Three trucks. Three buyers.

At the port the cartons go three ways. BOSS splits the load by order, ranks the carrier quotes for each truck, fills the CMRs and follows each truck to the dock. Ledgvero shows whether each buyer is still good for the money.
