The problem

90% of your operator’s day is work our AI agents can already do.

None of this requires the judgment of an experienced operator. Yet it’s what eats up their hours.

A mid-market forwarder faces hundreds of human errors a month that need correcting, with all the extra cost that drags along.

The inbox

Every critical shipment update arrives buried in a three-paragraph email someone has to read in full.

The quote

Over an hour per quote. The client already asked two other forwarders for pricing.

The surprise

The 350 kg discrepancy on the BL only surfaces at customs clearance, when it’s already a fine.

How Rumbo works

Seven agents that work while your team sleeps

Each one handles a part of the operational work. None of them act without your approval.

  • READ
  • RANK
  • QUOTE
  • WATCH
  • CHECK
  • REPLY
  • GROWTH
→HamburgFCL 40'HCFOB

READ

Reads every incoming email and turns it into data.

Parses origin, destination, product, HS code, weight, and incoterm from any email or PDF. Finds the client in your CRM even if they write from a new address.

RANK

Prioritizes which quote needs your attention first.

Weighs urgency, client value, and the risk of losing the booking. Out of 50 emails in the inbox, it shows you the 3 that matter today.

Q-0204Approve

QUOTE

Builds the quote and gets it ready to send.

Compares contract and spot rates, pulls in the client’s history, and drafts the reply. You just approve.

27d → 29d

WATCH

Tracks every shipment and warns you before it’s too late.

Monitors ETAs against the original booking and catches deviations as soon as the carrier publishes them. Flags free time about to expire, days ahead.

350kg ≠ 700kg

CHECK

Cross-checks documents and finds discrepancies before the client does.

Compares BL, invoice, and packing list field by field. If something doesn’t add up, it flags it before customs clearance, not after the fine.

Awaiting approval

REPLY

Drafts the reply and waits for your approval.

Writes in your team’s tone, with the right data already filled in. Nothing goes out without someone reviewing it first.

GROWTH

Spots dormant accounts and growth opportunities.

Notices when a regular client stops booking, and why. Flags when it’s a good moment to pitch a new service.

Ask Rumbo

Ask Rumbo anything.

Ask how much you billed, which shipments are delayed, or which clients were unhappy last month. What used to take hours of cross-checking spreadsheets is now a question.

That knowledge is yours. Your data doesn’t train our model or anyone else’s.

Frequently asked questions

We connect your inbox and, if you want, WhatsApp. Rumbo starts reading and structuring what already comes in, without changing how your team works.

Nothing goes out to a client or carrier without human approval. If something doesn’t add up, Rumbo flags it instead of assuming.

No. Rumbo works on top of your email, WhatsApp, and PDFs exactly as they arrive today. Zero APIs to integrate on your end.

Your data is yours: it’s never used to train our model or anyone else’s. If your systems team wants the technical detail, we’ll share it, no NDA required.

You pay per shipment processed, no per-user licenses, no implementation cost. Tell us your volume and we’ll put together a number based on that.

Yes. Rumbo doesn’t depend on carrier-specific integrations: it reads the information exactly as it’s sent to you, no matter who sends it.
