PRODUCT · ORDERS · SHIPMENT TRACKING

Booking through customs to delivery, in one record.

Shipping is the longest stretch of a trade order — six to ten weeks from factory gate to client warehouse. TradeOS keeps the whole stretch in one record: container booking, milestone tracking, document chain, customs status, landed cost, and the milestones the buyer is waiting on. One source of truth for everyone in the chain.

THE PROBLEM

Carrier tracking tells you where the box is. Not what it costs you, not what it owes you, not who needs to know.

Carrier portals show vessel positions. CargoWise handles freight forwarder operations. project44 and FourKites surface visibility for shippers with hundreds of moves a week. None of them sit on top of the order. None of them know the buyer is waiting on a Bill of Lading copy to draw down a letter of credit. None of them know the customs broker is one document short. None of them know which container holds which lot, or which lot satisfies which line on which invoice. Trade operators end up with three browser tabs open and a phone call to the freight forwarder.

ONE RECORD, EVERY STAKEHOLDER

Every party in the chain, looking at the same shipment.

A shipment in EDMA references the order it fulfills, the lots it contains, the containers it occupies, the documents it requires, the costs it accrues, and the parties involved (manufacturer, freight forwarder, customs broker, client). Each party sees a view scoped to their role — operator sees everything, freight forwarder sees logistics + documents, client sees milestones + arrival window. One record, four views.

MULTI-MODAL MILESTONE TRACKING

Sea, air, road, rail. Same record.

Most international trade moves on ocean freight. Some moves on air freight when speed matters or volume is small. The last leg is almost always road. Some inland moves are rail. EDMA tracks all four modes with a unified milestone schema and surfaces the right milestones for each mode. A multi-leg shipment (ocean trunk + road last-mile) appears as a single shipment record with two segments stitched together.

THE DOCUMENT CHAIN

Eleven documents. Five required to release the goods. Two required to release payment.

Every shipment generates and requires documents — Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, EUR.1 Movement Certificate, Insurance Certificate, AQL Inspection Report, LC Document Set, and customs declarations on both ends. EDMA tracks the document chain alongside the shipment milestones. The Bill of Lading present-or-missing state determines whether the buyer can draw against the letter of credit. The platform surfaces which document is blocking which milestone, and auto-generates the ones it can.

Documents update as the shipment advances. The Bill of Lading copy auto-populates when the carrier confirms transshipment. The Certificate of Origin and Customs Declaration are auto-generated from order data — operator reviews and signs.

LANDED COST

Every cost line, attached to the shipment that incurred it.

A shipment doesn't just have freight cost. It has port handling, transshipment surcharges, fuel adjustments, document fees, customs duty, broker fees, last-mile drayage, and demurrage if it sits at the port. EDMA tracks every cost line as it accrues, attaches it to the shipment, and rolls it up into the order's P&L. The result: real-time landed cost per unit, not a quarterly accounting reconciliation.

CUSTOMS AND COMPLIANCE

HS code, declared value, certificate of origin — done by the platform.

Customs paperwork doesn't have to be a separate workflow. EDMA classifies products against HS codes once at the catalog level, applies the right tariff rate against the destination country, generates the customs declaration from the shipment data, and surfaces the certificate-of-origin requirements based on the trade agreement between the source and destination countries. Compliance flags appear before the shipment departs, not after it's stuck at port.

ONE EVENT, FIVE EFFECTS

A two-day vessel delay isn't isolated. EDMA traces the chain.

When a vessel runs late, the impact ripples through the order. The expected delivery date shifts. The customs broker's slot gets rebooked. The client gets a proactive update. Demurrage risk gets calculated. The order's P&L gets updated with the projected demurrage cost. Five sections respond to one event.

Carrier portals and visibility platforms know where the box is. Freight forwarder systems know how to move it. EDMA knows what the box owes the order it belongs to — and who in the chain needs to know what, when.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Five questions about shipment tracking.

Which carriers and visibility providers do you integrate with?

Direct integrations with the major ocean carriers (COSCO, MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, Evergreen) and air freight (IATA Cargo-IMP). Visibility-platform integration available with project44 and FourKites for operators who already have those contracts. Manual milestone updates are also supported — useful for inland legs and smaller carriers.

How does landed cost stay accurate before all costs are actualized?

Can the buyer see the same shipment we see?

What happens when a document is missing at customs?

Does the platform handle demurrage?
