Digital Trade Automation: Streamlining Global Commerce with Linbis
Introduction
That’s why Linbis created digital trade automation — an intelligent platform that connects, automates, and optimizes every step of international logistics.
By using AI, smart workflows, and real-time data integration, Linbis helps companies move goods across borders faster, cheaper, and with full compliance.
Step 1: Centralize Global Trade Data
Linbis integrates all key systems and data sources into one platform:
- ERP and TMS systems: shipping orders, invoices, and manifests.
- Customs and government APIs: declarations, HS codes, and tariff data.
- Freight carriers and ports: schedules, tracking, and documentation.
- Financial systems: duties, taxes, and payment reconciliation.
This centralization eliminates fragmented processes and ensures a single source of truth for all trade operations.
Step 2: Automate Trade Documentation
Documentation is one of the biggest bottlenecks in global logistics — but Linbis automates it end-to-end:
- Generates commercial invoices, B/L, packing lists, and certificates automatically.
- Validates data fields using AI to prevent errors before submission.
- Auto-fills customs declarations using integrated shipment data.
- Applies digital signatures and uploads to customs portals instantly.
This automation not only speeds up processing but also ensures full compliance with global trade standards.
Step 3: Streamline Customs and Compliance
Linbis ensures shipments pass through customs with minimal delay:
- Automatically assigns accurate HS codes using machine learning.
- Cross-references data against export control and embargo lists.
- Predicts potential customs holds using historical patterns and AI models.
- Notifies teams instantly if a compliance issue arises.
By automating customs processes, Linbis minimizes manual intervention and reduces clearance times dramatically.
Step 4: Automate Workflows Across Departments
With Linbis, trade automation doesn’t stop at documentation — it extends across your organization:
- When a shipment is booked, Linbis triggers document generation automatically.
- When customs is cleared, it updates the TMS and accounting records.
- When payment is confirmed, it notifies operations to release cargo.
- When a delay occurs, it alerts customer service and adjusts delivery ETA.
Every step of the trade cycle is interconnected and automated — creating a seamless operational flow.
Step 5: Real-Time Visibility and Reporting
Linbis provides a global trade dashboard that gives complete visibility into all transactions:
- Customs status tracking in real time.

This transparency helps teams monitor trade performance and make informed decisions instantly.
