We tried a software-only provider before, but they were not able to process live files after months of trying to get onboarded. Hence, we reached out to Expedock. We were onboarded to Expedock within a month, and they cover all the use cases we need!

We love that Expedock required much less set-up from our side. We now embed Expedock into our workflows and are looking for ways to increase projects with them so we can grow our business without adding headcount.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Expedock work?
Expedock AI can extract and reconcile any unstructured data and post data directly onto any TMS (Transportation Management System).
All you have to do is forward your documents to Expedock and we will take care of the rest!
How do you know what shipment to attach to a consol?
MBL and HBL are sent together in the pre-alert from the origin forwarder. We use the MBL to create the consol, and the HBLs in the pre-alert are usually the shipments associated with the MBL. They should share the same route, container number, etc.
When HBL is sent separately, the body of the e-mail usually contains reference numbers such as the MBL number or Container number that enable us to do the association.
Can you link a shipment to a consol? How does that work?
Yes. We usually receive document packets from agents with all the related house bills and master bills. From there, our AI can make the inference around relationships.
What is your turnaround time for air and ocean freight?
- 2 - 4 hours for air freight
- 6 - 8 hours for ocean freight
What is required from us to integrate with Expedock?
We need to be able to receive data from your TMS so that we can flag discrepancies, check for existing shipments, and generally find the right records to modify or upload attachments to.
- For Cargowise users: we either need your e-adaptor to send XMLs to our server, or you could provide us with access to your Cargowise read-only database.
- For non-Cargowise users (custom TMS, Shipthis, Magaya, etc.): we need a test environment so that we can send test data and modify as necessary. We may need documentation and/or resources to answer our questions about the technical details of the system we’re integrating.
- We need to be able to send data to your TMS via an API.
- We need a test user account so that we can replicate how an end user would see the effect of our integrations as closely as possible.
