THE GAP

Generic TMS and carrier dashboards don’t solve broker-specific filings, renewals, or audit readiness. The data also shows adjacent logistics apps getting hit with complaints like "impossible to access" and "frustrating authentication," which is a bad fit for compliance workflows that need to be reliable.

THE BUILD

Centralize authority docs, insurance, carrier onboarding, contracts, and renewal reminders in one audit-ready workspace. Start with a branch-level compliance checklist and a gap report for brokerages with 5-50 employees, then expand into customs-broker workflows as an add-on.

WEEKEND MVP

Build a document checklist + renewal reminder app that uploads broker docs and flags missing items.
