Reform: The fastest way to build modern logistics software

👋 Hello world! It’s Saif, Omar, and Pradhit here to introduce you to Reform!

🤓 TL;DR

Reform is the easiest way for dev teams to build modern logistics software fast. Logistics service providers use our pre-built components and APIs to build software that can automate tasks such as quoting, shipment creation, and customs clearance filing.

One of the largest freight forwarders in Latin America is using Reform to automate shipment creation and invoice processing.

❌ Problem

Logistics service providers rely on dated, archaic ERP and transportation management systems (TMS) to manage their operations. These systems are rigid, closed, and opinionated. Oftentimes, they require customization, and hence, the need for logistics service providers to hire development agencies to build bespoke customizations and internal tools on top of these systems to make them easier to work with.

An alternative these companies resort to is to build an internal system from scratch to fit their business needs. However, such an undertaking is long, costly, and is oftentimes a distraction from their core business.

⚒️ Solution

Reform is the sweet spot between buying a generic off-the-shelf TMS and building one in-house. Our APIs and pre-built components allow logistics service providers to build the modern transportation management system they need - faster, better, and without the maintenance overhead.

Our first product is an AI-powered API suite that allows logistics service providers to build custom automations for mundane tasks related to their TMS. 

Our APIs are used to power automation use cases including:

🚢 Shipment and quote creation

👮 Customs clearance filing

🏭 Warehouse order intake

🧾 Invoice reconciliation

⚙️ How it works

Eliminate manual document analysis: Our customizable AI-powered data extraction API, purpose-built for the logistics industry, allows you to extract data with high accuracy from incoming emails and documents including commercial invoices, BOLs, packing lists, and more.

Integrate with any TMS: Our Universal API allows you to plug extracted data into any system without the burden of building and maintaining integrations.

Build beautiful interfaces: Our headless UI components allow you to embed our APIs directly in your products and customer-facing dashboards.
