What problem does it solve?
Freight exceptions including delays, damage, loss, and carrier disputes are high-stakes, time-sensitive issues that risk financial loss, damaged customer relationships, and regulatory non-compliance when handled inconsistently or without standardized workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Exception Classification: Categorize all exception types (delay, damage, loss, shortage, refusal, etc.) across all freight modes (LTL, FTL, parcel, ocean, air, intermodal) to apply the correct resolution workflow.
- Mode-Specific Guidance & Claims Compliance: Access carrier behavior insights, Carmack Amendment and international convention requirements, documentation standards, and filing deadlines to maximize claims recovery and avoid time-barred submissions.
- Decision Frameworks & Escalation Protocols: Use pre-built severity classification, eat-the-cost vs fight-the-claim thresholds, and tiered escalation chains to resolve exceptions quickly while protecting financial interests and carrier relationships.
- Use Case: A 500-unit shipment arrives with 30% damage and the carrier claims force majeure; follow the skill's guidance to collect evidence, assess salvage value, determine liability, file a compliant claim, and negotiate a fair settlement.
