The operational layer before handoff
Shipvanta gives freight, customs, and logistics operators one trusted place to extract data, cross-check documents, flag missing pieces, and prepare a clean packet for the next handoff.
Your team reviews exceptions and confirms the packet before it moves forward. Shipvanta supports a review-led workflow, not unattended processing or default live TMS/WMS synchronization.
In the trial: organize PDF and image documents, review packet records, run configured checks, and assess the approval flow with your operators.

Sample / packet assembly
This fictional packet illustrates a missing document, cross-document discrepancy, and field-review path. It is not a live shipment, customer workspace, or claim of unattended processing.

Illustrative ROI
Use your own operating inputs to estimate manual review effort. Results are planning estimates, not a promise of savings, error avoidance, demurrage prevention, or business outcomes.

Labor effort modeled

Illustrative total

Assumptions: all packet volume receives the stated manual effort; hourly cost includes your selected loaded cost; the optional avoidance input is entirely user-supplied and is not an expected or guaranteed result from Shipvanta.
Workflow scope
Built for messy trade documents and deliberate operational review—not for invisible automation or unsupported compliance decisions. The workflow moves through intake, review, validation, and an operator-approved export or implementation handoff.
01
Turn PDF and image documents into reviewable packet records, with operators retaining approval of the extracted fields.
02
Compare configured fields across the records in one shipment packet before the next handoff.
03
Bring weight, totals, format, and other configured findings to an operator with the compared values and review context.
04
Make absent required documents visible in the packet checklist so the team can request or add what is needed.
05
Keep packet activity and operator resolution notes in a clear historical record as the packet progresses toward handoff.
06
Review fields alongside their recorded document and page context. Shipvanta does not promise click-to-pixel source highlighting.
07
Document field mappings, scoped API access, and signed webhooks as implementation work is defined. Live TMS/WMS sync is not included by default.
In the 3-day trial, organize sample documents, review packet records, run configured checks, and assess approvals with your operators.
Start 3-day trial setupGlobal readiness
PDF and image document intake, packet organization, manual document review, configured deterministic packet checks, operator approval, scoped API credentials, and signed webhooks.
No default live TMS/WMS sync, customs or HTS ruling, customs filing, handwriting guarantee, pixel-level field tracing, or automatic external execution.
Shipvanta supports document review and configured deterministic validation. Your authorized users remain responsible for customs filings, classifications, declarations, sanctions screening, and regulatory decisions in every relevant jurisdiction.
Built for your operating model
Role-based review
Move a packet queue forward with clear intake status, origin and destination context, and a focused list of open exceptions.
Keep source files, classification, extraction review, and approval activity connected to the same shipment packet.
Use configured packet requirements and transparent deterministic checks to support review—not to replace regulatory judgment.
Bring invoice totals and supporting shipment documents into a reviewable packet before downstream reconciliation work.

Proof in progress
Shipvanta does not publish invented logos, testimonials, customer names, or performance claims. Future case studies will include a named source, operating context, measurement period, and approval to publish.
Future case study
Reserved for an approved customer story with document scope, review ownership, measured period, and exact attributable outcomes.
Evidence needed
Current intake supports PDF and image documents. Teams can group Bills of Lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, freight invoices, customs paperwork, and supporting files into a single packet for review.
Shipvanta keeps document work inside the workspace workflow, where your team controls review and approval. Review the security and data posture with us for requirements specific to your rollout.
Shipvanta supports workspace owners, admins, and members. Your implementation plan should define the right access roles for each operating team.
Packet activity records document workflow events such as validation runs and exception resolution notes. Confirm your required audit scope during implementation.
The product includes scoped API credential management for packet records. It does not provide document-file downloads, OCR, customs validation, push-sync, or a live third-party system connection through the API.
The workspace includes signed webhook configuration and delivery records for supported product events. Your team owns the receiver, mapping, and go-live validation.
Shipvanta provides an integration-planning surface for field mapping, ownership, security, and acceptance criteria. A specific external system connection is implementation work, not a default live capability.
Yes. Shipvanta is designed for operator-led review. It does not submit customs filings, make regulatory decisions, or automatically approve a shipment packet.
Use a focused workspace setup to organize sample shipment documents into packets, review document records, run configured deterministic checks, and evaluate the operator approval flow with your team.
