Why Forwarders and Brokers Choose Deep Cognition

Most logistics software was built to record what your team already did. Agentic TMS was built to do the work alongside them, under controls you set, and to show its reasoning every single time.

We are a logistics technology company, not a general purpose AI platform pointed at freight. Every agent we ship was designed for this industry, by people who have spent years inside it.

One industry, in depth

Depth in One Industry, Not Breadth Across Many

We made a deliberate choice. Go deep in freight rather than wide across every industry that happens to have paperwork.

Freight is unforgiving. A missed cut off costs a sailing. A wrong tariff code costs a penalty. An entry filed late leaves a container sitting on the dock. None of that is learnable from the outside, and none of it is solved by a general model with a clever prompt.

From Reading Documents to Running the Shipment

We started in 2019 with the first problem our customers named, which was manual data entry. PaperEntry AI reads commercial invoices, packing lists, and bills of lading at 99% accuracy, across more than one billion dollars in goods every year.

That was the foundation, not the finish line. Reading a document correctly is what makes everything after it possible, because if the data is wrong then every decision downstream of it is wrong too.

Agentic TMS is built on that foundation. AI agents run the shipment lifecycle from quote to cash. They quote, book, file, track, and reconcile, and they show their work at every step.

That is the difference between a tool that reads your paperwork and a system that runs your operation.

The difference

10SOC 2 aligned controls, with your data staying yours
Advantages

The Deep Cognition Advantage

Industry specific by design. We serve freight forwarders, customs brokers, and government agencies, and nothing else. The agents already know what a house bill is, what changes when the Incoterm changes, and what a two day vessel delay means for the customer. That knowledge is built in, not prompted in.
Proven at scale. Our platform has processed documents covering more than one billion dollars in goods every year for some of the most recognized names in global trade, on four continents.
Accuracy you can audit. 99% extraction accuracy is the number, but the point is the trail behind it. Every field an agent writes is linked back to the page and the region it was read from, so a reviewer can check the source in one click.
Autonomy on your terms. Nothing runs further than you allow. Each workflow sits at a level from manual through fully automatic, and you move it up only when the results earn it. The gate is yours, and it is visible.
Live in weeks, not quarters. There is no model to train and no template library to build. We start from your own documents in a proof of concept, then roll out one desk at a time so your team is never asked to change everything at once.
Security and compliance built in. Encryption in transit and at rest, role based access, full audit logging, and a sandbox that is isolated from production data. We have held to government grade requirements for four years.
Ready when you are

See It Run Your Operation

Bring your real documents and your real workflow. We will show you quoting, booking, customs filing, and invoicing handled from start to finish, at the autonomy level you choose.
