Most trade documents still travel on paper or as PDFs, while customs and emissions rules keep changing. Teams spend their time reconciling documents instead of serving customers. Problems and answers ## 4 problems, and how GENIA would tackle each one. Problem 01 ### Driver shortage strains every plan With too few drivers, planners juggle schedules, driving-time rules and urgent orders by phone and email. Experienced dispatcher knowledge is hard to share and harder to replace. 0.0 million unfilled truck driver positions across 18 markets [IRU, 2025 Driver Shortage Report (2026)](https://www.iru.org/news-resources/newsroom/operators-deeply-concerned-worsening-driver-shortage-new-iru-report) With GENIA #### Give planners a copilot for exceptions 1. 1 Each planner's assistant shows their day, open exceptions and messages waiting for a reply. 2. 2 Knowledge Hub answers rule and customer questions from contracts and procedures, citing the page. 3. 3 Recorded dispatcher sessions become searchable know-how for new planners. Reads from - Customer contracts - Dispatch procedures - Planner email - Recorded training sessions Your people decide. Planners decide assignments, priorities and which orders to decline. Problem 02 ### Trade still runs on paper Bills of lading, invoices and certificates arrive as paper or PDFs. Teams retype and cross-check them by hand, and a single mismatch can hold cargo at the border. 0% of bills of lading issued electronically as of 2025 [DCSA (Digital Container Shipping Association) (2025)](https://dcsa.org/newsroom/understanding-soft-barriers-to-digital-adoption) With GENIA #### Cross-check documents before cargo moves 1. 1 Agents read bills of lading, invoices and packing lists from email and shared folders. 2. 2 They flag mismatches in parties, weights or HS codes, citing each document page. 3. 3 When a mismatch needs a ruling, the agent asks the customs specialist with options. Reads from - Bills of lading - Commercial invoices - Packing lists - Carrier email Your people decide. Customs specialists decide declarations and corrective actions. Problem 03 ### Disruptions rewrite routes overnight Rerouted lanes and volatile rates force constant changes to bookings, contracts and customer commitments. Knowing which clauses and customers are affected means reading dozens of documents. Around 0% below 2023 average Suez Canal tonnage transits, as of May 2025 [UNCTAD, Review of Maritime Transport 2025 (reported by IIMS) (2025)](https://www.iims.org.uk/review-of-maritime-transport-2025-report-published-by-unctad/) With GENIA #### Know who is affected, with sources 1. 1 Knowledge Hub indexes customer contracts, carrier notices and rate agreements. 2. 2 Parallel objectives find affected shipments and the surcharge or force majeure clauses that apply. 3. 3 A chained objective drafts customer updates for an account manager to review. Reads from - Customer contracts - Carrier notices - Rate agreements - Booking exports Your people decide. Account managers decide commercial terms and customer messages. Problem 04 ### Emissions and customs rules keep changing Shippers ask for emissions data per shipment, and customs systems like ICS2 require more data fields. The evidence sits across carriers, internal systems and email. With GENIA #### Prepare reporting evidence, traceably 1. 1 Objectives collect fuel, distance and carrier data from their assigned sources only. 2. 2 Agents compile reports using your chosen methodology, citing every source record. 3. 3 The full audit log shows how each figure was produced, ready for auditors. Reads from - Carrier emissions data - Fuel and telematics exports - Customs filings - Shipment records Your people decide. Sustainability and compliance leads approve and sign every report. A project, objective by objective ## Shipment exception flow 1. Objective 1 Detect exception from carrier email Done 2. Objective 2 Check documents and contract terms Done 3. Objective 3 Propose recovery options In progress 4. Objective 4 Planner decision Waiting on you 5. Objective 5 Notify customer and log outcome Next Objectives run in parallel when they can, chain when one needs the other, and stop to ask a person when a decision is not theirs to make. Ask your knowledge ## One question, a sourced answer. Which customer contracts allow a surcharge for rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope? GENIA Three contracts include a rerouting surcharge clause, including Acme Foods (Master services agreement, p. 12). Two allow it only after written notice (Rate agreement 2026, p. 3). Legal should confirm before invoicing. Illustrative example Regulation ## GENIA prepares the evidence.
