The agents

One agent per job your team does by hand.

Each agent does the prep and processing of a back-office role, end to end. Run it with a person approving every record, or fully autonomous once you trust it. You choose, per agent. Start with the one that hurts most and expand as you need.

How they run

Two ways to run every agent.

Human in the loop

The agent does the prep and hands your team a finished record. A person reviews it and approves before anything is filed, sent, or written. The default, and how a new agent starts.

Autonomous

The agent does the whole job and acts on it: creating the lot, correcting the charge, sending the reply, with no per-item sign-off. Turn it on for an agent once it has earned your trust.

You set the mode per agent and change it whenever you want. Customs filing is the one exception: an ISF is always submitted by a person on your team, because CBP requires a human filer of record.

Questions

What people ask before a demo.

Does TIO replace my TMS?

No. TIO sits on top of the TMS you already run and writes to it through that system’s API. Your TMS stays the system of record.

Can I run an agent autonomously, or does a person review everything?

Both, and it is your choice. Every agent runs in one of two modes. Human-in-the-loop: it does the prep and hands your team a finished record to approve before anything is filed, sent, or written. Autonomous: it does the job end to end and acts on it, with no per-item sign-off. You set the mode per agent and change it whenever you want. The one exception is customs: an ISF is always filed by a person on your team, because CBP requires a human filer of record.

Can the ISF agent file with customs on its own?

No. The ISF agent drafts the ISF-10; a person on your team submits it. On customs work the filer of record is always someone on your team, never the agent, in either mode.

Which TMS does TIO work with?

TIO is TMS-agnostic and connects through your system’s REST or SOAP API. Supported systems are listed on the integrations page.

How much time does it actually save?

At a US import forwarder running TIO in production, lot creation dropped from about 30 minutes to seconds across 25+ jobs a week and ISF filing from about 15 minutes to seconds across 20 filings a week, roughly two days a week back for the team.
