Where we are headed next. None of these is connected yet — Korea is the blueprint, and each corridor ships when its data source does.
The operational gap
Cross-border work breaks when context lives in too many places.
The daily challenge is reconstructing the truth across files, people, portals, and hand-built trackers.
The shipment story is fragmented
Orders live in spreadsheets, documents sit in drives, and status updates disappear into email threads. Nobody sees the complete record.
Documents become manual data entry
Teams retype tally sheets, certificates, and shipping paperwork when that information should move directly into the workflow.
Exceptions surface too late
Missing evidence, unclear ownership, and disconnected handoffs turn routine cross-border work into last-minute recovery.
From intake to follow-up
A connected workflow for the work your team already does.
Keep commercial details, physical movement, source documents, and operational decisions on one traceable path.
- 01
Build the commercial record
Connect the customer, company, order, items, shipment, and responsible team before work starts moving.
- 02
Turn documents into usable data
Upload PDFs, Word files, Excel sheets or scans. Every field Senda reads comes back with the engine that read it and the box it came from, ready for review.
- 03
Coordinate every handoff
Track shipment status, containers, comments, documents, tasks, and notifications in one workspace.
- 04
Review performance and exceptions
Use dashboards, timelines, and status history to see what is moving and what needs attention. On Operations, landed-cost bills go from Reporting to Xero as drafts to approve.
New · ChatGPT, Claude and Codex
Ask ChatGPT. It checks Senda.
Where is that container? What's on file for the Busan shipment? What did the tally count? Ask the assistant your team already has open, and it answers from your Senda records.
- Your shipment, not a guess
- It reads the actual shipment, document or tally in Senda before it answers, so the ETA it gives you is the one on record.
- HS codes on today's schedule
- Describe a product in plain words and get HS code suggestions checked against the current US tariff schedule, named by revision, for your broker to confirm.
- Off the moment you say
- Disconnect it in Settings and its access ends right there.

What you actually get
The operational picture, not another inbox.
Every leg, every container, and every exception—rendered here as the abstract shape of what Senda keeps for each shipment.
Container calculator · load planner
Plan the load before the box is packed.
Model how cargo fills a container, see utilization and CBM as you go, and settle the load plan before anything hits the dock — so the first time the container is packed is the last.
Document digitizer
Teach it your paperwork once. Review what it reads.
Upload PDFs, Word files, Excel sheets or photographs of paper, or forward PDFs, PNGs and JPEGs to a shipment's own email address. Senda reads what the page itself makes readable — its supported tally layout, and the fields of any layout you teach it once — and when that is not enough, the vision model reads scanned and photographed invoices and packing lists, in English or Korean, and the whole of a scanned tally sheet it could only partly read. Everything it returns shows which engine read it and where on the page it sat. What it cannot read goes to your reviewer, never a guess.
- Draw the box once
- Drag a rectangle round the invoice number on one sample. Later documents of that layout are read from the same coordinates — no model, no escalation to a metered engine, and no deploy to change it. It works for fields that stay put; a total that moves with the length of a table still goes to review.
- Every value says where it came from
- Each field records the engine that read it, that engine's version, a confidence, the page number and the box on the page. Click a value in review and the highlight is already there.
- Word and Excel keep their pages
- Office files are laid out to PDF before anything reads them, so a value in a .docx still has a real page and a real box instead of no provenance at all.
- Corrections are recorded, not overwritten
- A human edit is stored as its own engine at confidence 1.00, so the record keeps both what the machine read and what a person changed.
Extraction is assistive: values arrive with a confidence and go to a reviewer, who has the final say. Senda does not file anything with a customs authority on your behalf.

- Your reviewerFinal say
Each stage runs only when the one before it cannot read the page, so metered extraction is the exception rather than the default — and every value is a reviewer's to accept or correct.
Built for more than one person
The conversation lives on the shipment, not in someone's inbox.
Comments, documents, tasks, corrections and status all hang off the same record. When the warehouse flags a short bundle, the person clearing customs three time zones away sees it next to the evidence — with a name, a time, and the field that changed.

And then it lands.
Delivery is not a status change, it is a file you can close. The documents are attached, the containers reconcile against the tally, the exception someone raised three weeks ago has an answer on it — and all of it stays queryable long after anyone remembers the shipment.

Nobody carried it alone.
A shipment touches the person who prepared the paperwork, the one who counted the bundles, and the one who answered for it at the border. Senda keeps all three on the same record — with their corrections, their comments and their names still attached to it a year later.
Trade corridors · Korea live
A direct line to Korea Customs — the first of many corridors.
Korea is Senda's first live trade corridor. We connect directly to UNIPASS, the official Korea Customs Service Open API at unipass.customs.go.kr, with 50 government customs services verified answering Senda in production—so teams shipping to and from Korea pull authoritative data instead of rebuilding the integration themselves. It's the blueprint for every corridor we open next, so wherever your cargo moves, Senda is built to meet it at the source.
Included with the Operations plan, with more corridors on the way. Senda acts as a structured proxy to Korea Customs—it surfaces the government data and does not file declarations on your behalf or replace a licensed customs broker.
Cargo clearance progress
Look up the clearance status of import cargo from Korea Customs — queried live when you ask, never stored — keyed by cargo management, master, or house B/L number.
Declarations and reference data
Query import and export declaration details and the customs reference tables trade teams reconcile against.
Documented, per-service keys
Every service ships with its request and response field definitions, so your team knows exactly what each call returns.

Duty, documents, filing readiness and compliance on one shipment record. Senda prepares; your licensed broker files.

Documents

Invoices and packing lists in English or Korean, bills of lading and tally sheets, uploaded or emailed in, each value shown where it sits on the page, then checked against each other.
Compliance
Alerts that find your shipments
Federal Register actions — AD/CVD, Section 232 and 301, CBP and FDA — matched to your HS codes and origins and raised on the shipments they touch.
Why Senda exists
Built from export operations.
Senda began after watching decades of export expertise get slowed down by repetitive spreadsheet work, manual document handling, and disconnected tools. The goal is not to replace that expertise—it is to give it a better operating system.
Built for the people who know the shipment, customer, paperwork, and exception history because they carry it in their heads every day.
