The 14-day pilot
Two weeks on your shipments.
A number at the end.
After a readiness review finds a fit, your team runs 20 to 30 real shipments through CargoLint on a free trial. We count the minutes, the wrong alerts and the missed problems, and you decide on a date set at the start.
What happens, and when
Five steps. The first and the last are decisions you make. The three in between are your team doing its normal work, with CargoLint counting.
- Day 0
Agree the scope
We take the lane, goods and documents from the readiness review and write them down. You name the person who decides at the end and the date they decide on. You tell us how long these shipments take your team today, per shipment, including the checking.
- Days 1 to 3
Set up the workspace
You open a free Professional trial. We forward your document inbox to CargoLint, load your regular shippers, consignees and products so they are recognised, and run the first shipment together.
- Days 4 to 12
Run 20 to 30 shipments
Your team works real shipments, the clean ones and the awkward ones. Reviewers correct and approve exactly as they would in production. Every minute spent reviewing or correcting is counted against the time saved.
- Day 13
Read the results
You get one page: minutes per shipment before and during the pilot, the alerts that were wrong, the problems the checks missed, the hours setup took, and where each finished file actually went.
- Day 14
Decide
The person named on day 0 decides on the date set on day 0: a paid plan, a technical follow-up, or no fit.
Four things, all counted on your shipments
The read-out on day 13 has these four lines and nothing we cannot show the source for.
- 01Minutes per shipment
- Your number from before the pilot, next to the number during it. The pilot number includes every review and correction minute, so a shipment that needed a lot of fixing counts in full.
- 02Wrong alerts and missed problems
- How many flags turned out to be nothing, and how many problems your reviewer caught that the checks did not. Both are counted, not estimated.
- 03Setup hours
- The hours your team and ours spent on the inbox, the catalogue and any manual handoff. If the pilot only paid off because of setup you would not repeat, you see that.
- 04Where the file went
- For each finished shipment: a corrected PDF, an Excel or CSV table, an audit packet, a share link, or re-keyed into your system by hand. The handoff that happened, not the one planned.
The pilot runs on the free Professional trial
So its allowances are the trial's. Anything outside them is agreed on day 0, not discovered on day 9.
| Documents | 300 over the 14 days |
|---|---|
| People | 5 seats |
| Trials | One per organisation |
| API and webhooks | Not on the trial. A pilot that needs them runs on a paid Business month, which we agree on day 0. |
| Languages | English documents. Forms pre-printed in several languages are read; a French or Spanish invoice is not. |
| Blocking | Nothing is blocked. Checklist and regulated-goods indicators are advice; your reviewers decide. |
Three possible endings, all written down
Paid plan
The minutes came down, the alerts were worth reading, and the handoff works. You pick Professional or Business, monthly or annual, and keep the workspace as it is.
Technical follow-up
The checks helped but the file cannot get where it needs to go without a connector or a specific import format. We write down what we would build and by when, and you decide with that in hand.
No fit
The minutes did not move, or your lane and documents fall outside what CargoLint covers. We say so in writing. Your files are deleted on request.
Plan prices and allowances are on the pricing page. What the trial includes in full is in the billing documentation.
Less time chasing paperwork. More time moving shipments.
Start with up to three representative shipments. Agree the scope, review the evidence, and decide whether a measured pilot is worthwhile.
