Software for maritime transport and ports
2Simple builds systems for shipowners, shipping agencies, container terminals and ocean freight forwarders: shipping and customs document workflows, cargo status visible to the client, and integrations with port systems and ERPs. The founders of 2Simple previously worked on systems supporting maritime transport.
Where the paper sits in this industry
- Bills of lading, manifests and customs documents circulate as email attachments between the agent, the forwarder and the client.
- Clients phone to ask where the container is, because the status is spread across several systems.
- Document data is retyped into the terminal system, the ERP and invoices.
- One missing document blocks customs clearance and generates demurrage costs.

Questions and answers
Do you have experience in the maritime industry?
The founders of 2Simple worked on systems supporting maritime transport operations, so we know the documents and processes of this industry. Every project starts with an analysis of your process.
Will you integrate with terminal systems and client portals?
Yes, if they expose an API, file exchange (e.g. EDI) or a database. We build integrations with monitoring and retries on errors.
Where should we start?
With the one document or process that delays work most often, e.g. putting together the documents for customs clearance. The first automation usually takes up to 1-2 months.
