    The problem

    Why forwarding teams lose hours to email and spreadsheets.

    01

    Quotes built from half a brief

    An importer asks for a rate without incoterms, volumes or cargo ready date, so your pricing team emails back and forth for a day and the shipment goes to whoever answered sooner.

    02

    Paperwork chased one email at a time

    Commercial invoices, packing lists and certificates of origin arrive late or incomplete, operators copy details into the freight system by hand, and clearance stalls while cargo waits at port.

    03

    Milestone updates nobody sends

    Customers ring to ask whether the container has sailed or cleared customs, because status changes sit in your system and never reach them without somebody typing an email.

    Our solution

    The Shipment File Automation System: from inquiry to delivery.

    Each automation hands complete data to the next, so a shipper’s first inquiry becomes a priced quote, a booking and a documented shipment without double entry.

    Why forwarders pick Bdazzil for automation

    What forwarders get from an automation partner like us.

    Forwarding runs on accuracy and speed at once. These commitments keep automation useful to your operators rather than another system to babysit.

    01

    Operations understood first

    The founders learn how your team prices, books and clears shipments before recommending any agent or workflow.


    Our discovery process →

    02

    One lane, then the next

    We begin with the workflow that wastes most operator time, measure it against real shipments, then extend to other trade lanes.


    Staged delivery →

    03

    Operators keep the final say

    Quotes, bookings and customer messages can require approval before sending, and staff can review or correct any automated reply.


    Approval steps →

    04

    Documented and handed over

    Every workflow is written up and runs in accounts your firm owns, so your IT team or a future partner can maintain it.

    FAQ

    Freight forwarding directors usually ask these.

    Can an AI agent really help a freight forwarder with quoting?

    It supports your pricing team rather than replacing it, gathering the details they need, such as mode, route, incoterms, weights and ready dates, so every rate request reaches them complete and qualified.

    Will it give our customers customs or duty advice?

    No. The agent answers only from information you approve and refers customs, duty, HS code and legal questions to your customs team, with the full conversation attached.

    Does it integrate with our freight management software?

    Where your freight system, CRM or accounting package has an API or import route, we connect it using Make, Zapier, n8n or custom code. Freight forwarding AI automation works best when data moves without retyping.

    Can shippers talk to the assistant in Arabic?

    Yes. The assistant handles Arabic and English conversations and passes a customer to a bilingual colleague whenever the query needs a person.

    How is shipment and customer data kept secure?

    Data stays in your own accounts where possible, access is restricted to named users, and handling follows the UAE Personal Data Protection Law in general terms, with every exchange logged.

    What does automation cost for a forwarding company?

    It depends on the workflows, channels and integrations chosen, and we set out a recommendation after the free automation audit. WhatsApp Business API and AI model usage are billed by those providers directly.

    What contract applies, and how is the timeline set?

    Engagements carry no lengthy lock-in. The rollout plan is agreed during kickoff according to scope, and your company keeps its accounts, workflows and data whatever happens.

    Do you work with forwarders based outside Dubai and Abu Dhabi?

    Yes. We work with forwarding companies anywhere in the UAE and elsewhere in the GCC, and the agent can serve shippers in the markets your lanes reach.
