The container is on the quay. The paperwork disagrees.

One shipment produces a booking, a bill of lading, a manifest, a customs declaration and a stack of invoices, often in different formats from different parties. GUIDSE brings terminal, forwarder and customs data into one governed view, checks the documents against each other, and warns your planners before a discrepancy becomes a hold, a demurrage charge or a dispute.

Where the work gets stuck

  1. Data that never matches

    Container numbers, weights and HS codes differ between the B/L, the manifest and the declaration.

  2. Paper still in the loop

    Most bills of lading still travel as paper or PDF, so they are retyped at every step.

  3. Problems seen too late

    A missing document or a wrong code is discovered at the gate, not at booking.

  4. Carrier invoices nobody checks

    Demurrage, detention and surcharge lines are paid without comparing them to the contract.

Processes GUIDSE runs

  1. Shipment document reconciliation

    Cross-checks bills of lading, packing lists, commercial invoices and manifests against your TMS or terminal data and flags every field that disagrees.

  2. Customs declaration pre-check

    Validates HS codes, values, origin and ICS2 entry summary data against the commercial documents before the broker submits.

  3. Logistics problem prediction

    Combines vessel ETAs, gate-in times and document status to flag shipments likely to miss a cut-off or incur demurrage.

  4. Freight invoice audit

    Compares carrier and forwarder invoices (freight, THC, demurrage, detention) with rate agreements and routes only the deviations.

  5. Document Triage at Scale

    Classifies and routes the daily flood of PDFs, emails and EDI messages to the right file and the right team.

The GUIDSE Method

The same six steps in every sector.

The difference is in the U: your data is unified and masked before any agent acts on it.

  1. Gather

    Connect the TOS or TMS, carrier portals, EDI feeds, the customs software and the operations mailbox.

  2. Unify

    One record per container and shipment. Consignee names, contact details and pricing are masked before any agent reads them.

  3. Interpret

    Agents read B/Ls, packing lists and declarations against the shipment record.

  4. Decide

    Planners and customs specialists approve corrections. Agents never file anything on their own.

  5. Systematize

    Checks run at each milestone: booking, departure, arrival, release.

  6. Evolve

    New trade lanes, terminals and rules are added as configuration.

Data and privacy

Shipment data reveals your customers, your volumes and your prices, and transport operators are within the scope of NIS2. GUIDSE masks consignee identities, commercial values and personal data before any AI provider processes a document, and keeps each client's data in an isolated environment.
