I am a customs broker and work within the freight forwarding/shipping and customs clearance industry for the past 20 years.
I think the industry really needs a product like this, for me day in and day out i have major delays in obtaining shipping documents from suppliers and agents cause
which can cause significant additional costs to the importers.
I like where you are going with your product but I see one big issue i see though, i dont believe forwarders will want to change software, one of the largest software providers for this industry
is Cargowise EDI Enterprise, I would say 80% of freight forwarders in Australia use this software and i would say a very significant in the USA and in europe would also use this software.
This software is a one stop shop, where you can save commercial documents, create shipment registrations, create customs declarations, invoicing, create electronic customs entries, it sends the customs entries to
customs, it has a customs tariff linked to it for customs clearance purposes with all quarantine and customs legislation acts linked.
Companies would not move away from a software like this unless your product can do all of the above plus more.
Have you considered teaming up with a company like or could you?-->
