Eliminate Paper-Based Chaos, Unlock Business Intelligence
Built for US freight forwarders shipping to Africa who are tired of manual processes and want to finally understand their business performance.
Complete automation + powerful analytics = informed decisions and profitable operations
The Problem We Solve
The shipment process is manually intensive and drowning in paperwork.
Walk into any freight forwarding warehouse and you'll see the reality: clipboards, printed manifests, handwritten labels, Excel spreadsheets scattered across multiple computers, and customer intake forms filed in cabinets. Every container load is a marathon of manual data entry and paper shuffling.
The Paper-Based Nightmare:
- 📋 Manual Label Generation - Staff spend hours creating and printing shipping labels, one by one. Typos are common. Mislabeling delays entire containers.
- 📄 Paper Manifests - Container manifests are created in Word docs or Excel, manually compiled from handwritten notes. Updates require re-printing everything.
- 📦 Inefficient Warehouse Operations - No real-time visibility. Warehouse managers walk the floor with clipboards tracking what's loaded, what's pending, what's missing.
- ✍️ Paper-Based Customer Onboarding - Customer intake forms, shipping instructions, and documentation requests are handled via email attachments, PDFs, and phone calls.
- 📊 Zero Business Insights - Spreadsheets can't tell you which containers are most profitable, which customers generate the most revenue, or which routes have the best margins.
Most freight forwarding software was built for domestic shipping or generic international routes. Nothing addresses the specific reality of US to Africa container consolidation where manual processes compound into operational chaos.
That's why we built Shipflo.
