Our founders wanted to solve the complex puzzle of logistics paperwork. Now, DocUnlock is turning that vision into reality, streamlining processes for customs brokerages and freight forwarders worldwide.

International shipping. It conjures images of vast oceans and bustling ports, but the reality can be a different story: a tangled mess of paperwork and customs delays. Enter DocUnlock, a company born out of a shared frustration with the current system and a relentless pursuit of a smarter customs automation solution.

Founders Sepehr Fakour and Ned Cartmell aren't strangers to the shipping industry. Years spent navigating the complexities of customs clearance revealed a glaring inefficiency: a mountain of paperwork slowing everything down and introducing a high risk of errors. They knew there had to be a way to break free from this paper chase and unlock the true potential of global trade.

That's where cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) came in. Sepehr and Ned envisioned a system that could handle the tedious tasks with superhuman accuracy, freeing human expertise for more strategic work. DocUnlock's AI technology tackles invoices, packing lists, and a sea of other documents, extracting the crucial information needed for smooth customs clearance.

The result? Faster approvals, fewer delays, and a sigh of relief for everyone involved. But for Sepehr and Ned, it's about more than just streamlining processes. They see DocUnlock as a key that unlocks a future where global trade flows freely, unburdened by paperwork frustrations. Businesses can focus on what they do best – connecting markets and delivering products seamlessly across borders.
