Problem
Shipping operators must manually extract data from carrier emails, PDFs, and API feeds, a process that is time‑consuming, error‑prone, and often leads to missed Last Free Day (LFD) deadlines, resulting in costly demurrage fees.
Solution
Genba offers an AI‑powered data refinery that ingests unstructured shipping documents via simple email forwarding, PDF upload, or API POST. The platform automatically extracts, validates, and normalizes information from over 20 carrier formats into structured JSON, calculates LFD against terminal schedules, and flags risk. Real‑time alerts are generated before demurrage fees accrue, and the validated data syncs directly to the user’s systems without requiring custom integration. By eliminating manual data entry, Genba reduces operational overhead, improves data accuracy to 99.9%, and accelerates decision‑making for container management.
