Stop running your business on manual effort.
Your team is too valuable to spend their day managing repetition. No added headcount. No need to replace your TMS.
Freight forwarders, ferry operators, and container logistics teams have to move fast on technology — or risk being left behind. The problem is they're too busy running daily operations to stop and transform them. Databik onboards your team once. After that, we keep automating — one manual process at a time, each live in about two weeks. Not a fixed list: if it's repetitive and costing your team time, it's a candidate.
No-AI automations live in Week 2. You only scale once the ROI is proven.
Built for the way freight actually moves.
Whatever comes in — a CMR from a road carrier, a booking confirmation from a ferry line, a container release from a terminal — Databik automations are configured around your documents, your TMS, and your lanes.
Freight Forwarders
Multi-carrier document matching, booking, and status automation across road, rail, and air.
Logistics Operators
Order entry, quotation tracking, and carrier booking without adding headcount as volume grows.
Ferry & Ro-Ro Operators
For ferry lines and roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) shipping: booking confirmations, manifest matching, and status replies — no manual TMS lookups needed.
Multimodal & Container Transport
Cross-document matching across carriers and modes, so a shipment stays linked from booking to proof of delivery (POD) — no matter how many hands it passes through.
Warehousing & 3PL
Inbound/outbound document matching, order entry, and status automation for 3PLs juggling multiple clients' service agreements and systems at once.
Where the hours actually go.
Your team handles dozens of partners, hundreds of customers, and thousands of documents — mostly by hand. Every document matched manually. Every status email answered one at a time. Every business rule stored in someone's head, not your system.
Document Chaos
Manual processing across formats takes up 20% of your team's time, with no automatic link between document and record.
Manual Data Entry
10–15 minutes per record keying data into your systems. Typos cause delays. Missed details mean lost revenue.
Status Inquiries on Repeat
35+ hours a week spent answering "where is my…" one email at a time.
Knowledge Locked in Heads
Business rules and process logic that live in one person's inbox, not in a system anyone can query.
Stop retyping. Stop rechecking. Start shipping.
Some of these need AI judgment. Some need none at all. We use exactly as much as the job requires — never more. These six are the most common starting points. Once you're set up, we automate almost any manual process your team deals with.
Document Intelligence
From a messy inbox to structured shipment records — for every carrier, every format, every time.
- Reads, classifies, and matches invoices and CMRs from carrier emails
- Flags carriers who bundle multiple shipments per invoice
- Verifies Invoice ✓ CMR ✓ before finance proceeds
TMS Order Entry Automation
Order details extracted, validated, and pushed straight into your TMS — no retyping.
- Reads shipment details from emails, PDFs, or a lightweight portal
- Automatically matches load/unload addresses, even with small typos
- Reconciles pricing against your quotes automatically
Email Tracking
Instant, deterministic status replies. Zero AI overhead, zero token cost.
- Detects status inquiries by keyword, replies in milliseconds
- Pulls live data directly from your TMS or carrier APIs
- Replies in the customer's native language
Autobook
Rule-based carrier booking against your contracted rates, across hundreds of lanes.
- Automatically selects the carrier with the best contract rate
- 100% deterministic — zero AI involvement
- One rule set, deployed across every lane at once
Quotation Tracker
Removes duplicate quote work and shows which brokers actually convert.
- Flags duplicate shipment requests before your team wastes time on them
- Scores brokers on real revenue outcomes, not quote volume
- Tracks every quote by route, broker, and result
Business Intelligence
Live dashboards on on-time rates, carrier performance, and cost anomalies.
- On-time rate and delay trends, by lane
- Carrier cost and performance comparisons
- Optional AI-generated weekly executive summary
Not just for logistics, if that's what you need.
Two of our solutions aren't logistics-specific — they solve a problem every knowledge-heavy company has.
Private by default. No exceptions.
We only use AI where it is truly needed — and keep your business data private by default.
Live on your data in weeks, not months.
Simple, flat, and built to scale with shipment volume — not against it.
Older providers charge per shipment — the more you grow, the more you pay. Databik doesn't. It's a flat monthly subscription, so the more you ship, the less each automation costs you per shipment.

Ten-plus years in cybersecurity and engineering, now focused on logistics.
Databik started by watching freight forwarders lose hours a week to manual document matching — work that had nothing to do with judgment, and everything to do with repetition.
