How It Works

From PO list to action plan in 3 steps

📋
STEP 01

Upload your PO list or paste shipment data

Drop a CSV, paste rows from Excel, or enter 3–5 SKUs manually. No account needed to start. We auto-detect HS codes — or describe your product in plain English.

⚙️
STEP 02

We rank your SKUs by stockout risk

Each SKU is scored against your days of cover. Standard Gulf→EU transit is ~28 days — the Cape reroute adds +12–14 days on top, meaning ~40–42 days total before your cargo arrives. You see exactly which lines face a gap — and which bypass routes close it.

📊
STEP 03

Get verified alternatives and act

Saudi Land Bridge contacts, Turkey nearshore suppliers, and 25+ verified Gulf-safe sources per at-risk commodity — with US customs shipment history.

Our Methodology

Transparent data. Verifiable sources.

Every supplier in our directory has documented US import shipment records via Customs Bill of Lading data. We do not verify current capacity, certifications, or availability — those require direct supplier contact. Our AI scores reflect shipment volume, recency, and geographic diversity.
