Tau shipment case-file dashboard showing container GESU3926828 with route, waypoints, exceptions, and actions

The Guess Ends Here

Procurement picks by rate. Planning books by habit. Execution reacts by exception.
One shipment. One connected plan. The next move, before the window closes.

Perceive

Sense every change in the world around your container

Bookings, sailings, cutoffs, milestones, port conditions, vessel movements, contracts, quotas, documents, and planner intent. One shipment. One casefile. One machine-readable state for the whole plan.

Reason

From what happened, to what if, to what's next

Know why a shipment is at risk. Compare alternatives under real constraints. See downstream consequences before you commit. Every call grounded in physical and operational truth.

Act

Make the right call, always. Then make the next one better

Every action closes the loop: what was chosen, what happened, and why the delta exists. Institutional memory that compounds instead of walking out the door.

Booking

Built for Compounding Planning Decisions

Carrier × service × routing × sailing × cutoff × quota. Most tools see one variable. Compare every feasible combination under your constraints and see what each one costs, in dollars, days, and risk to service level.

Generate options that are
precise, profitable, and punctual

Start from cargo, route, cutoff, quota, and required-date constraints. Generate every feasible booking combination, with forecasted consequences for each. Not scorecards dressed up as decisions.

See the blast radius before
you book

For every option, see which disruptions touch the lane, which ports or handoffs they affect, and how much delay, cost, and required-date risk they add before you commit.

Every booking reshapes what happens downstream

Handoffs, exceptions, recovery paths, customer promises. See the second-order effects while there's still time to choose differently.

One click plan-execution

Recommendation to booking instruction. No re-entry.

Co-create with the team

One live casefile. No side threads, tribal memory, or spreadsheet drift.

Precision down to hours

Cutoff feasibility and sailing-specific ETAs. Not weekly averages.

Learn from previous plans

Each result sharpens future option sets and consequence forecasts.

Pre-Transit

The Most Resilient Plan is
the One that Evolves

Catch cutoff, equipment, drayage, document, VGM, and carrier-notice risks while there is still time to chase, switch, or rebook.

Anticipate bottlenecks before they
become rolled containers

Equipment imbalances, yard congestion, drayage no-shows, VGM delays. Any one can bust your cutoff. See which shipments need chasing before they miss cutoff or get rolled.

Fine-tune plans when new risks /
chances emerge

When the unexpected happens, don't just react, re-plan intelligently. See whether the signal touches your route, where it hits the plan, and what each feasible move changes in time, cost, and risk.

Automated Follow-Through

Chases missing inputs and stalled handoffs. No manual babysitting.

Exception Alerts That Matter

The alerts you need, not the noise you don't.

Always-On Monitoring

Every casefile stays live until the container is away.

Clean Handoffs

Context, not chaos, from planning to execution.

In-Transit

Your Lighthouse Over Troubled Waters

Vessels reroute. Ports congest. Schedules collapse. See why it is happening, what it costs, and what can still be done in minutes, not days.

See disruption as a chain of causes,
not a late milestone

Blank sailings, port omissions, berth congestion, pilotage shortages, transshipment delays, customs holds, rail slippage. Trace how delay actually forms across the remaining plan.

Every delay has a price. Know it
before you pay it.

ETA movement, connection risk, customer promise exposure, demurrage, storage, documentation fees, cash-to-cash impact. See predicted costs before they are incurred.

Intervene at the right moment, with the right lever

Not every late container deserves the same playbook. Compare feasible interventions
by days saved, cost saved, required inputs, and execution window while action still matters.

Cause Before Cure

Understand the "why" behind every delay and see its cascading impact on your ETA and your bottom line.

Structured What-Ifs

Move beyond pre-canned scenarios. Explore limitless possibilities and stress-test your plans against any potential future.

Ranked Action library

Stop debating your next move. When a disruption hits, we've already calculated and ranked your best options. Just choose and execute.

MTTR in Minutes

We give you the tools to diagnose and resolve issues in minutes, not days, protecting your margins and your timeline.

#Built Different

We're not adding another tool to the stack. We're giving you the architecture to move faster, scale smarter and stay in control. With Tau, your organisation gains the leverage to lead what's next.

Refuses to Guess

Forward-looking world states, deterministically verified. Recommendations gated through tens of thousands of counterfactuals. Not retrospective scores pretending to be intelligence.

Your Data Stays Yours

Your operational intelligence sharpens your model. Not someone else's product.

Real Math, Not Pattern Matching

Causal structure. Constraint modeling. Consequence forecasting.

Unreal World Context

1,400 ports, 28 chokepoints, 140 carriers, weather, congestion, AIS, sanctions.

Knows What It Doesn't Know

Stale input, conflicting signals, missing data. Confidence adjusts. Uncertainty isn't hidden.

Compounds Over Time

Every decision sharpens the model. Institutional knowledge that stays.

Built for the Whole Operation

Planners, ops, procurement, finance, leadership. One truth, different lenses.

Dont just Ship. Command it.

Book freight with unprecedented confidence. React before the
exception hits. Recover like you knew it was coming.
