Document extraction
Commercial invoices, packing lists and bills are read and matched to the shipment as proposed values.
Automation
Freight forwarding automation that removes retyping, not judgment.
Most forwarding hours go to reading emails, copying facts between documents and systems, and checking what's missing. DESTIN automates that preparation work with DESTIN AI, then puts the result in front of a person to confirm before anything changes or leaves the building.
What gets automated
The repetitive work around every file.
Inbox triage
Inbound emails are linked to the right shipment or customer and summarized with a suggested next step.
Readiness checks
Customs and shipment files show only the facts that are missing, invalid or conflicting.
Exception ranking
The Command view ranks shipments by what needs action, so quiet files stay quiet.
Quote preparation
Rate requests become draft quotes from your rate library for a person to review and send.
Guardrails
Where automation stops and people decide.

How DESTIN approaches it
Overwrites
Can automation change data a person already confirmed?
No. Extracted values are proposals; confirmed facts stay confirmed.
External actions
Can it send, file or pay on its own?
No. Emails, customs transmissions and payments require a person to approve.
Traceability
Can you see where a value came from?
Proposed values keep their source document so reviewers can check them.
Connections
Does it pretend a feed is live?
No. Connected and not-connected states are shown honestly.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What can DESTIN automate for a freight forwarder?
Document extraction, inbox triage, readiness checks, exception ranking and draft quotes. These prepare work so your team reviews rather than retypes.
Will automation send emails or file customs entries on its own?
No. Any action that changes confirmed records or leaves your company — emails, filings, payments — requires a person to approve it.
How accurate is document extraction?
Accuracy depends on document quality, so every extracted value is shown as a proposal next to its source for a reviewer to accept or correct.
Do we need to change our whole process to automate?
No. Most teams start with document intake and inbox triage on live files, then expand once they trust the output.
Is automation priced separately?
Core DESTIN capabilities are included in the plan. Very high-volume document or AI processing may be subject to fair-use allowances.
