FIG 02 automate
From invoice to posted transaction — automatically.
FlowDocs reads carrier invoices from email and APIs, parses by vendor, validates against rate history, matches each invoice to the right CargoWise shipment, and posts the transaction in.
What was once manual, outsourced, and slow becomes accurate, scalable, and largely autonomous.
Processes run overnight so operators arrive to completed work — not queues.
FIG 03 quote
From rate query to booked container — while the customer is on the call.
Your rate data, queryable in real time. Search by port, equipment, carrier, or validity window. Submit a booking request without leaving the page.

The same query interface works for your operations team and for your customers. Internal lookups and self-service both run against the same data — so the answer your sales floor gives matches the answer the customer sees.
Two-day email round-trips become a click. Deals you would have lost to turnaround time stay yours.

FIG 05 why cgd
Supply chain expertise without the consultancy overhead.
We build software for freight forwarders, exporters, and logistics operators because we understand how the work actually happens.
Our platforms are shaped by real-world operations — where delays cost money, accuracy matters, and systems need to work overnight, not just look good in a demo.
Operational perspective
Years inside freight forwarding, export operations, and supply chain execution mean we solve practical problems, not theoretical ones.
Production-first
The tools we build run in live environments, handling real transactions, documents, and operational decisions.
Direct integrations
CargoWise, customs platforms, ERP systems, carrier portals, XML, PDFs, APIs, SFTP, EDI — our focus is making systems work together cleanly and reliably.
FIG 06 scale
FlowDocs is evolving toward a broader multi-tenant platform for freight forwarders and exporters seeking better operational control.
We're selectively working with design partners who want to reduce manual effort, improve margin visibility, and modernise legacy workflows.
