For 20+ years, we ran everything on spreadsheets and phone calls. We built a solid customs brokerage, but our clients kept asking: "Can you handle the whole shipment?" In 2022, we partnered with ShipThis to modernize our operations. Now our customers get instant quotes, real-time tracking, and all their documents in one place. We went from 20-minute phone calls about shipment status to customers checking it themselves at midnight. The relationships and expertise are the same — we've just added better tools. Our team still knows your cargo. We still pick up the phone. But now we can actually compete with the big guys on technology too. #### Licenses & Certifications C-TPAT Tier III IATA Cargo Agent FMC #024891 AEO Certified ![Laptop showing analytical charts representing the digital transformation of a business](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1460925895917-afdab827c52f?w=400&h=250&fit=crop) Case Study ### Why We Finally Ditched the Spreadsheets After 20+ years of Excel files and email chains, we made the leap to ShipThis.

I can track my containers at midnight instead of calling and waiting for callbacks." **David Park** Purchasing Manager, Home Essentials Co.

The family business feel is still there, but with modern tools." **Maria Santos** Owner, Santos Import Trading "What I appreciate is that they didn't lose the personal touch when they modernized. Carlos still knows my business, but now I can also log in and see exactly where my shipment is without bothering anyone." **James Wright** Operations Lead, Wright Manufacturing Trusted Partners & Global Carriers MAERSK MSC CMA CGM HAPAG-LLOYD OCEAN NETWORK EXPRESS COSCO
