Put your customers first, and data extraction... well, we’re taking care of that.

The platform extracts and consolidates data from multiple sources, identifies missing data points, and validates document accuracy, enabling customs specialists to handle more declarations per hour with fewer (or no) errors. This allows freight forwarders to focus on customer service and compliance, rather than manual data entry, ultimately speeding up the customs clearance process and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

How it works

Import and Manage documents

Bring all documents into one platform, easily.

Raft seamlessly ingests your emails and attachments directly into the platform for instant processing. Prefer API integration or manual uploads? That works too.

The platform supports a wide range of essential documents, including Bills of Lading, Commercial documents, and required certificates, from any file format (Email, PDF, Excel, Word, images, etc.).

Extract & convert data

Turn d@t& into data

Raft converts your data into the correct format needed for declarations, such as weight measurements, currency codes, and ISO country codes. Extract crucial information, including commodity codes, weights, and product codes from even the most complex line items, perfectly aligned with customs requirements.

The no-code workflow editor allows you to create custom workflows tailored to each partner, ensuring precise data extraction from invoices, packing lists, and other documents.

Validate & enrich information

Turn data into customs intelligence

Raft's AI goes beyond mere document extraction by ensuring accuracy and enriching your data with additional details from both internal and external sources.

Enrich your data with product descriptions from product databases and verify HS codes against your own list.

Validate incoming document data against your master data, merging cross-document information for comprehensive accuracy. Retrieve goods information from arrival notices and bills of lading, enhancing precision with customer master sources.

Our human-in-the-loop element ensures customs brokers are alerted to missing data or failed validation checks, allowing targeted issue resolution.

Raft can also help automate the preparation of AES and ISF filings, ensuring all required data is accurately captured and reported, ready for you to submit.
