Who it is for
Built for brokers to speed up their data entry, reduce errors, and save money on labor.
Independent customs brokers
3 to 25 person licensed brokerages filing US imports.
An entry writer keys 50+ fields per shipment from a packet that arrives by email in a different format every time. The cost is a salary, and it scales linearly with volume.
Good fit if
- You file through NetCHB, Descartes OneView, CargoWise, Magaya or another ABI system
- You process between 50 and 1,000 shipments a month
- You have at least one person whose job is substantially data entry
Freight forwarders with a brokerage arm
Forwarders who handle their own customs work rather than passing it out.
The same shipment data gets keyed twice - once into the forwarding system and again for the entry - and the two drift apart.
Good fit if
- You reconcile invoice, packing list and B/L or AWB by hand
- You want one structured record per shipment, not four documents
- You want one record per shipment that both your forwarding and customs work start from
Brokerages under cost pressure
Firms re-evaluating their software spend after a platform repricing.
Enterprise document-automation platforms start around $18k a year, which a small brokerage cannot justify against a junior salary. Most competitors will not even publish a price.
Good fit if
- You were quoted a number that made no sense for your size
- You want to remove entry-writer hours rather than add a platform
- You would rather pay per shipment than per seat
Tell us how your desk works today
We would rather start with a conversation than a pitch. Which system you file in, the lanes you run, what eats the most time in a normal week - that is all we need to say anything useful about whether EntryWrite would help.
- A reply from the founder within one business day, not a sales sequence.
- Nothing to prepare - no documents, no demo script, no procurement call.
- If it looks like a fit, we will talk about running a free pilot on your own packets.
