The AI transport management system built for ocean freight

Ocean freight is where the biggest costs and the biggest surprises hide. A single container that misses its free-time window can turn into hundreds or thousands of dollars in demurrage and detention. Invoices land weeks after the goods, so overcharges slip through unnoticed. And the true status of every shipment sits scattered across booking confirmations, arrival notices and forwarder email threads.

logee is an AI-powered transport management system (TMS) built for the importers and exporters who move that freight without a large operations team. Instead of another dashboard you have to fill in by hand, logee reads the emails and documents you already receive, builds a live record of every container, and keeps watch on it from booking all the way to the port gate.

Because logee understands what an ocean shipment actually is, its bill of lading, container numbers, vessel and ETA, free-time deadlines and invoice lines, it does the work a freight coordinator would: track the box, chase what's missing, check the charges against your quote, and warn you the moment something threatens to cost you money. It is the visibility and control a large logistics team takes for granted, without the cost or the complexity.

Why importers choose logee over the alternatives

Most teams run ocean freight on one of three things. Here's how logee compares.

vs. spreadsheets & email

Spreadsheets and inboxes don't chase anything. logee actively watches every container and tells you what needs action, so nothing slips because you were busy or away.

vs. enterprise TMS

Enterprise platforms are powerful but heavy, expensive and built for large teams to feed. logee sets up in minutes, needs no implementation project, and works with the forwarders you already use.

vs. track-and-trace sites

A tracking website tells you where a box is, but only when you go and look. logee watches for you, ties tracking to your costs and documents, and reaches out before a deadline is missed.

Ocean freight questions, answered

What is an AI TMS for ocean freight?

An AI transport management system (TMS) is software that organises and manages your shipments and uses AI to do the coordination work for you. logee reads your booking emails and documents, builds a live record of every ocean shipment, tracks each container, checks the costs, and flags issues like demurrage before they turn into charges.

How does logee track my containers?

logee follows each container using its bill of lading and container numbers, and brings carrier milestones onto the order alongside your documents and costs. You get one clear timeline per shipment instead of logging into several carrier websites to piece it together.

What are demurrage and detention, and how does logee help me avoid them?

Demurrage is charged when your container sits at the port beyond its free time. Detention is charged when you hold the container too long after collection. logee works out these deadlines from your shipping documents and warns you while there is still time to book pickup or return the box, so you can act before the charges start.

Do I have to change my freight forwarder or carrier?

No. logee works with the carriers, forwarders and brokers you already use. There is nothing for them to install, and they keep communicating with you by email exactly as they do today.

Does logee work for both FCL and LCL?

Yes. logee handles both full container load (FCL) and less than container load (LCL) ocean shipments, and tracks the milestones, deadlines and costs that apply to each.

How is this different from my forwarder's own portal?

A forwarder portal shows you that one forwarder's shipments in their format. logee brings all of your shipments, across every forwarder, into one place, connects them to your costs and documents, and actively alerts you rather than waiting for you to check.
