Customs. Freight. Solutions.

It classifies invoices against the full LN.218 tariff schedule, resolving the 8-digit national line and the 11-digit ASYCUDA commodity code, works out duty across all eleven national duty types, and stages ASYCUDA-World filings ready for the broker to upload.

How it compares
One platform against every tool a broker uses today
An honest comparison against the customs software in the Caribbean market. Each competitor covers a slice of the workflow; NomadLogistics covers the whole operation.

Access and reach
Who else, and why not them
- MAWI
- Strong at document extraction and entry files. Entry creation only, with no tariff data or business management.
- TurboBroker
- Affordable and familiar. Handles declarations, but every field is manual data entry.
- ACE
- A functional local tool with customs integration. Desktop-based, without AI or business management.
- Odoo
- An excellent general platform. The customs features must be built from scratch, as RAMPS did.
- CargoWise
- Built for large global operations. The price and complexity do not fit Caribbean-sized brokerages.

Before and after
The same day's work, in a fraction of the time
The operational gains a brokerage sees, benchmarked against the workflow Caribbean brokers run today.
Document processing
By hand
30 to 60 minutes reading invoices and typing line items by hand.
With the platform
Two to three minutes: upload the PDF, the AI extracts it, the broker reviews.
HS classification
By hand
Five to fifteen minutes per uncertain item, flipping tariff books or the portal.
With the platform
Seconds: search finds the code, the AI suggests matches, past decisions are remembered.
Worksheet preparation
By hand
20 to 40 minutes computing FOB, freight, insurance, CIF, then each of 11 duty types.
With the platform
Invoice and bill-of-lading data auto-flows; all 11 duty types calculated at once.
Client lookup
By hand
Searching email and paper files for TIN numbers, HS codes, and shipping terms.
With the platform
A saved client profile auto-fills every party, with trade history and preferred codes.
Monthly reporting
By hand
Half a day pulling data from several sources into a spreadsheet.
With the platform
The dashboard shows volumes, revenue, top codes, and duty totals, exported in one click.
A broker doing 300 declarations a month reclaims roughly 225 hours, the gap between a full day per declaration and the fifteen to thirty minutes a purpose-built platform takes (Ramps, Odoo case study, April 2025).

No per-seat fee, no per-entry cut. You own your brand and data, and pay your own cloud usage directly.
What the same operation costs elsewhere
Custom software build
TTD 675,000+
12 to 18 months of development before a single entry, then ongoing maintenance on top.
CargoWise
TTD 440,000+/yr
USD 19.95 per container plus 9.95 per entry for a mid-size book, per the 2025 Value Packs schedule.
Odoo ERP path
TTD 305,000/yr
The licence plus developers on staff, the actual Odoo run-rate of a comparable Trinidad brokerage.
Magaya
TTD 355,000
A five-year total cost of ownership for the freight and customs suite, at ten users.
The complete brokerage-and-freight build at TTD 165,000 one-time is about 19 percent of a comparable annual run-rate, and the five-year total cost lands near TTD 1.18M against roughly TTD 4.4M for the rented-stack alternative. You own the result.

Architecture and security
Built for compliance, and yours to own
Compliance-grade by construction, and yours at handover. The decisions below are baked in, not bolted on.
- Your data is isolated.
- Row-level security at the database layer keeps every broker's declarations separate. Cross-tenant reads are blocked, not just hidden.
- Every change on record.
- A hash-chained audit trail logs every code override and edit, verified nightly. Tamper-evident by construction.
- Secrets stay in Key Vault.
- Credentials live in Azure Key Vault and authenticate through Managed Identity. No keys in code.
- You own it.
- It runs on your Azure subscription under your name. The source is yours at handover, with a perpetual licence to the engine.
- Explainable matching.
- Vector similarity, full-text tariff and gazette search, and label overlap are fused. Every suggestion carries a reason, never a black-box guess.
- Protected edge.
- Cloudflare WAF, bot protection, and a strict content security policy guard the app; documents sit in private storage behind expiring links.
