The Problem

International trade professionals faced significant challenges when calculating landed costs:

  • Manual Data Entry: Hours spent copying data from supplier quotes, emails, and spreadsheets
  • Calculation Errors: Human errors costing businesses $5,000-$50,000 per shipment
  • Complex Regulations: Navigating multiple tariff systems (Section 301, Fentanyl, Reciprocal, Steel)
  • Unstructured Data: Messy factory quotes, Chinese product descriptions, inconsistent formats

Import managers spent 8-12 hours per week on manual calculations.
