Key functionalities

Automated Broker Interface (ABI) & Customs Entry Software: Captain provides a certified ABI solution for direct, error-free communication with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Our system automates the preparation and submission of all necessary documents, including ISF and Entry Summaries, significantly reducing manual work and potential penalties.
Complete Visibility & Real-Time GPS Tracking: While many competitors offer tracking, Captain takes it a step further with real-time GPS tracking. See the exact location of your cargo on a map, get proactive alerts, and gain full visibility from origin to destination. Our competitors like CargoWise offer robust visibility, but Captain’s integrated GPS tracking provides a more granular view for superior control.

3. Dynamic Dashboards & Actionable Analytics: Captain’s customizable dashboards provide a bird’s-eye view of your operations. Analyze key metrics, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions to optimize your supply chain. Our analytics go beyond what Flexport offers, giving you deeper insights into costs, performance, and compliance.

- Summary Insights: Monitor overall trends in Customs Brokerage Jobs, Total Volume, and Total Declared Value. Understand your supply chain at a glance by analyzing top modes of transport by job count (e.g., FCL, LCL, Air, CNT). A Goods Origin Heatmap visualizes where your cargo is coming from, helping you identify key trade lanes.
- Proactive Risk Management: The US Import Holds dashboard allows you to identify and prevent bottlenecks by highlighting which entry ports are experiencing the most customs holds, with a focus on critical hubs like John F. Kennedy Apt/New York.
- Duty and Tariff Optimization: Our Duties dashboard provides a clear overview of your financial obligations. Track your total duties and declared value over time and easily identify your Top Duties by HTS to pinpoint cost-saving opportunities and manage your budget more effectively.
- Enhanced Compliance & Auditing: The Classification Consistency tool helps you maintain accuracy by cross-referencing declared product codes, suppliers, and origin countries with their associated HTS numbers, allowing you to proactively audit your filings and ensure full compliance.

4. Centralized Document & Messaging Hub: Ditch scattered emails and fragmented files. Captain’s built-in document management and messaging tools centralize all communication and paperwork. Share documents, collaborate with your team, and communicate with partners directly within the tool, eliminating the inefficiencies found with many other systems.
