Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and automated email drafting are straightforward, but building robust integrations with legacy, closed enterprise logistics systems (McLeod, TMW, MercuryGate) and handling unstructured freight document reconciliation requires specialized logistics domain work.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an OCR/document processing pipeline tailored to bills of lading and rate confirmations, paired with enterprise connectors to on-premise or SOAP/EDI-based Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and ERPs. The hardest technical pieces are reverse-engineering legacy TMS APIs, handling EDI 210/214 protocols, and achieving high-confidence automated 3-way matching across disputed freight line items. It requires enterprise systems integration experience and logistics accounting domain knowledge.
