TradeLanes

TradeLanes, Inc. is a technology company building software for international trade execution, with a current focus on vessel schedule intelligence for U.S. exporters, drayage providers and freight forwarders. Its core product, the Vessel Schedule Report (VSR by Terminal), produces a daily delta-only view of changes to earliest receiving dates (ERD) and CY cutoffs at selected marine terminals, replacing manual checks of carrier and terminal portals, vessel schedule PDFs and spreadsheet comparisons. The company states it tracks more than 40 U.S. terminals across the West Coast, Gulf and East Coast. Alongside VSR, the product line includes Ava, a decision layer that assesses whether a plan still holds and recommends buffers; an Exposure Intelligence visibility layer; and invitation-only agents (Lexi, Navi, Verra) described as executing AES filings, shipping instructions and bill of lading proofing.

VSR features described by the company include vessel-level schedule movement, "Verified Windows" confidence scoring where carrier and terminal data disagree, AIS signals to bridge carrier-terminal data lag, automatically captured timestamped snapshots retained for per-diem dispute defense, and booking-quantity decrement detection before dispatch. The company also publishes measurement outputs it calls the ERD Drift Index, Cutoff Stability Score, Terminal vs Carrier Accuracy, 72-Hour Volatility Profile, Terminal Volatility Index, Decision Timing Brief and Vessel Schedule Stability Index.

An earlier and broader product, eLane, is presented as a digital trade lane platform covering sales orders and contracts, booking requests to ocean carriers with EDI-based booking confirmation capture, inventory allocation and container loading coordination, document submission and validation, certificate issuance, invoice reconciliation from third-party vendors, and post-sailing settlement. That platform includes partner portals for freight forwarders, drayage carriers and loading partners, and claims of up to 35% lower administrative costs, cycle time reductions of up to three days, and 99.5% documentation validation accuracy.
