Services

Applications built around the work of moving goods

Luca Gabella designs and manages custom applications for companies that trade with Italy and Europe: quotations, documents, shipments and deadlines in one flow, with AI where it reduces manual work.

Less manual work, more control over every shipment
AI and human analysis

AI prepares the ground; an expert checks and decides

Every service works in two steps. AI tools collect and organise, in a short time, information scattered across many sources and languages. Luca Gabella then checks it, reads it in the context of the supplier and the market, and makes the decisions, signing them. Every conclusion goes through this check: this is how a foreign company can buy from Italy and Europe with more safety.

  1. Artificial intelligence

    Collects and organises

    Reads emails and documents, extracts the data, compares invoices and packing lists and drafts quotations and replies.

  2. The expert

    Checks, understands the context and decides

    Designs the process with the people who use it, decides where automation helps and where it does not, checks the results and manages the application over time.

Our hope is that better tools, combined with human judgement, make international trade more fluid, safer and more prosperous, for those who buy and for those who sell.

A freight forwarder, an export or import department or a transport operator works every day with emails, PDFs, carrier and customs portals, spreadsheets and phone calls. The same data is typed several times, and one wrong figure on an invoice or a bill of lading can stop the goods. When suppliers are in Italy or Europe, documents also arrive in other languages and formats. Standard software covers part of the work, rarely the way your company actually does it. We design applications that start from the process your team already uses, make it more linear and connect it to your existing systems; then we manage them over time, because trade changes and the tool must change with it. It is the same method Mandati Internazionali used to build the tools it uses every day. For internal procurement work that does not involve shipments and transport documents, see Custom operations software.

Custom applications for international trade

Who it is for

  1. 01

    Freight forwarders

    Quotations to prepare quickly, rates from different carriers, documents to check for every shipment from or to Europe.

  2. 02

    Export and import departments

    Offers, order confirmations, customs documents and certificates of origin passing between sales, purchasing and accounts.

  3. 03

    Supply chain managers

    Orders to suppliers in several countries, lead times to follow and risks to keep under control.

  4. 04

    Maritime operators

    Bookings, bills of lading, port deadlines and messages with agents in different time zones.

  5. 05

    Road transport operators

    Trips, CMR notes, drivers, vehicles and tolls to organise, with customers asking where the goods are.

Less manual work, more control over every shipment

What is included

  1. 1

    AI functions that reduce manual work

    Reading emails and PDFs, extracting data from invoices, packing lists and bills of lading, drafting replies and quotations. Every function suggests; a person checks and confirms.

  2. 2

    More linear processes

    Every file follows a clear path from request to closing: who does what, by when, with which documents. Double steps disappear.

  3. 3

    Data and processes the team shares

    One archive for customers, shipments and documents, visible to those who need it, with role-based access and a history of every change.

  4. 4

    Connections with the systems you already use

    ERP, email, calendar, carrier portals and customs platforms, where they offer a connection: data is entered once.

Examples of use

What a custom application can do

Generic examples: every application is designed on the process of the individual company.

  1. 01

    Freight quotation

    The customer's request arrives by email; the application extracts ports, weights and dimensions, suggests the stored rates and prepares the draft. The operator checks it and sends it.

  2. 02

    Shipping document check

    Invoice, packing list and bill of lading are compared automatically; differences in weight, quantity or names are flagged before departure.

  3. 03

    Shipment dashboard

    The status of every shipment, deadlines and missing documents on one page, shared by office, warehouse and accounts.

  4. 04

    Certificates and compliance archive

    Certificates of origin, declarations and licences with their expiry dates, linked to customers and products, with a reminder before they expire.

  5. 05

    Trip planning

    Trips, vehicles and drivers in a shared calendar, with transport documents prepared from data already entered.

What you receive
  • The application installed on your server or a dedicated cloud

Frequently asked questions

What does AI do in an application for freight forwarders or trade teams?

It reads emails and PDFs, extracts data from invoices, packing lists and bills of lading, compares documents with each other and drafts quotations and replies. Every function suggests: a person checks and confirms before anything leaves the company.

Can the application connect to our ERP and the portals we already use?

Yes, where the systems offer a connection: ERP, email, calendar, carrier portals and customs platforms. The aim is that every piece of data is entered only once.

Who manages the application after go-live?

Luca Gabella manages it over time with updates, backups and new features, on a fee or hourly basis. The code and the data remain yours.
