Operational Intelligence

Turn fragmented trade data into decisions that move the needle

Operations teams spend 40-60% of their day re-keying data between disconnected systems. Manual document processing carries a 1-4% error rate per field, triggering customs holds, inventory misalignment, and demurrage fees.

AI agents dissolve data silos and orchestrate cross-functional workflows in real-time - 90% faster document processing, 5-7% logistics cost recovery, and a single source of truth across ERP, CRM, and logistics systems.

Why operations teams choose Export Arena

Trade companies are data-rich but insight-poor. Vast records sit in disconnected systems while skilled professionals spend their days as data clerks instead of strategic operators.

Operational blind spots

95% of companies have visibility into Tier-1 suppliers, but only 42% can see Tier-2 and beyond. Static tracking systems fail when bad actors employ GPS jamming and spoofing. The disconnect between in-transit inventory and available inventory means logistics teams know a container is delayed, but sales teams keep promising delivery because the ERP has not been updated.

Fragmented data silos

Core systems - ERP, TMS, WMS - do not communicate effectively. Staff physically move data between disconnected systems in a "swivel chair" pattern, introducing 1-4% error rates per field. Bad data contributes to a 6-12% loss in annual revenue due to avoidable supply chain disruptions - duplicate customers, missing HS codes, and stale inventory records.

Manual reporting burden

Employees spend 3-4 hours daily on repetitive, automatable tasks. For every 100 employees, companies lose over 77,000 hours annually to manual work - approximately $1.2M in hidden costs. 60-80% of global trade documents are still processed manually. A single commercial invoice takes 15-20 minutes to key in, creating a hard cap on shipments per employee per day.

Decision latency

The industry average response time for an email quote is 60 hours - and 96% of email quote requests are effectively ignored or lost in the noise. Manual invoice processing takes an average of 17.4 days to cycle through approval. Companies adopt a "pay and pray" approach because auditing every invoice is too time-consuming, losing 2-5% of total transportation budget to overbilling.

The transition from manual trade operations to AI-powered intelligence replaces the 'manual debt' of documentation - where skilled logistics experts spend half their day re-keying data - with predictive orchestration. Companies that deploy automated freight audit, document processing, and cross-system intelligence report 90% faster document handling, 5-7% logistics cost recovery, and a single source of truth that eliminates the data silos capping operational capacity.

BY OPERATIONAL DOMAIN

Intelligence tailored to your operational function

Select your domain to see the specific pain points AI agents solve, the opportunities they unlock, and which workers to deploy first.

Challenge

Visibility ends at Tier-1 suppliers

95% of companies see Tier-1 but only 42% have Tier-2+ visibility. GPS jamming and spoofing create blind spots. Delayed container data means sales promises delivery dates the ERP cannot support.

AI Solution

Predictive disruption detection 9 days ahead

AI monitors satellite AIS data, port congestion, and weather patterns to predict delays before they cascade - enabling autonomous rerouting and demurrage avoidance.

Rate Auditor
Challenge

2-5% freight spend lost to billing errors

Manual invoice processing means companies adopt a "pay and pray" approach. Duplicate billings, invalid surcharges, and currency conversion errors go undetected because auditing every invoice is too time-consuming.

AI Solution

Recover 5-7% of annual transportation spend

Automated four-way matching across PO, shipment record, proof of delivery, and carrier invoice catches errors that manual teams miss on every transaction.

Port Monitor

Measurable results
within 90 days

Export Arena delivers immediate operational gains. Mid-size companies achieve 340-740% ROI over three years with a 3-9 month payback period. Most see first results within 30-60 days through document automation and freight audit.

Your AI workforce for operational intelligence

Document Intelligence

Extract, validate, and route data from unstructured trade documents with 99% accuracy. Processes bills of lading in 30 seconds instead of 10-15 minutes - eliminating the manual bottleneck that caps shipments per employee per day.

Logistics Intelligence

Real-time shipment tracking, predictive delay detection, and autonomous rerouting that bridges the gap between in-transit and available inventory. Port congestion prediction 48 hours ahead with demurrage cost reduction of up to 90%.

Financial Intelligence

Four-way invoice matching, freight audit cost recovery, and automated reconciliation that compresses AP processing from 17 days to 3 and recovers 5-7% of freight spend. Turns Accounts Payable from a cost center into a profit recovery center.

Compliance Intelligence

Autonomous HS classification with 95-99% accuracy in 5 seconds, continuous sanctions screening across 300+ lists, and ownership chain analysis that replaces manual spot-checks with continuous compliance across 200+ jurisdictions.

Cross-System Orchestration

A multi-agent architecture where the output of one agent becomes the input for the next. Document extraction feeds classification, classification feeds customs filing, customs filing feeds financial reconciliation - creating end-to-end automation without human copy-paste.

Predictive Analytics

Agents ingest external signals - freight indices, weather data, competitor pricing, macroeconomic indicators - to predict demand shifts and supply disruptions days before they impact operations. Reduces inventory holdings by 20-30% without impacting fill rates.

AI Workers dissolve your data silos and create a single source of truth across ERP, logistics, and finance

Intelligent Document Processing

Agents extract data from invoices, bills of lading, and certificates with 99% accuracy - eliminating the 40-60% of staff time spent on manual data re-keying and the 1-4% error rate that triggers customs holds

Automated Freight Audit & Cost Recovery

Rate Auditor agents perform four-way matching on every carrier invoice - catching the duplicate billings, invalid surcharges, and conversion errors that manual teams miss. Companies recover 5-7% of annual transportation spend, often paying for the entire platform from freight audit savings alone

Cross-Functional Workflow Orchestration

API Connector agents bridge your ERP, TMS, WMS, and financial systems in real-time. The output of one agent feeds the next - document extraction to classification to customs filing to reconciliation - creating the end-to-end automation that eliminates 77,000+ hours of annual manual work per 100 employees
