The platform
Built on a single, shared record of the physical job. Every module reads and writes to the same record, so turning on a new capability is a switch, not an IT project.
The shared spine
A stem passes through ten moments over a day or more. At each one, Bunker Agent captures the source data - email, PDF, meter, tablet or paper BDN - and writes it back to the same record every downstream system reads from. No rekeying, no reconciliation, no numbers that disagree.
Before the barge moves
Every stem is created by two commercial documents - one from the buyer, one from the supplier - that should match but often don't. Bunker Agent extracts every field, reconciles the two documents against one another, drafts a reply on any hard mismatch, and holds the stem out of scheduling until the deal is locked.
PDFs, email bodies, forwarded threads, CTRM exports. OCR handles scans and photos; language models parse the rest.
Grade, quantity, tolerance, window, price basis, credit days - extracted from both sides and reconciled in seconds.
On any hard mismatch the reply is drafted for you. You review, edit, send. Locked stems flow to scheduling; unlocked ones don't.
The intelligence engines
Turns unstructured emails and PDFs into scheduled jobs automatically. Nominations, ETAs, and counter-signatures parse themselves onto the shared record.
Builds transit and transfer benchmarks from your actual operational history, not textbook averages. Every plan is calibrated against what your fleet really does.
Service time estimates sharpen with every delivery. The system learns the unique quirks of your specific berths and routes - the drift, the queues, the tides.
Watches ETAs, weather windows, and inventory levels, and surfaces the next move to make. Alerts arrive with a recommended next move.
Integrations
API sync with the trading systems your desk runs on. Trades, positions, and counterparty terms flow into the platform without export files or reconciliation runs.
Live vessel feeds from Spire and MarineTraffic sit inside the schedule, so ETA changes reshape the plan in real time instead of arriving as an email an hour late.
Direct feeds from Mass Flow Meters and eBDN tablets. Volumes, densities and signatures land on the record within seconds of transfer, not hours after the barge returns.
Export draft invoices and rate cards directly to SAP or Oracle. Day-1 invoicing becomes routine, not a heroic month-end scramble.
Ready when you are
Because every module reads and writes the same record, adoption is incremental. Start with dispatch. Add finance. Bring on analytics when the team is ready.
