Problem
Trade finance operations rely on manual, paper‑heavy processes and fragmented systems, leading to high operational costs, error‑prone data entry, and difficulty meeting evolving regulatory and anti‑money‑laundering requirements.
Solution
Cleareye.ai’s ClearTrade® platform digitizes trade documents and automates the end‑to‑end trade finance workflow using AI, machine learning, NLP, and large language models. The system extracts and classifies data from invoices, bills of lading, packing lists and other documents with over 93% classification and 88% extraction accuracy, converting unstructured files into structured, machine‑readable data. Integrated risk engines benchmark transaction details against global trade databases, flagging pricing anomalies, dual‑use or high‑risk goods, and suspicious vessel routes. Real‑time sanctions screening cross‑checks vessel and ownership information against OFAC, EU and UN lists, reducing false positives by up to 70%. A dynamic rules engine, aligned with ICC standards (UCP, ISBP, URC, URDG), enforces compliance checks and workability reviews, while a configurable customer portal enables corporate clients to pre‑check documents, accelerating approvals. The platform’s APIs and Azure‑based deployment allow seamless integration with banks’ back‑office and core banking systems, delivering faster processing, lower costs, and enhanced auditability.
