Ship Angel
What it is
Ship Angel OS is a browser-based, API-first platform for beneficial cargo owners and shippers managing global supply chains. It combines rate management, spot procurement, carrier booking, freight audit, purchase order orchestration, and MADDY, an embedded agentic AI layer for freight insights, risks, and recommendations. The Rate System compares spot and contract rates and supplies routing guides, benchmarks, and CO2 data. Teams can request structured spot bids, compare carrier quotes, award work, and retain an audit trail. Carrier bookings occur through APIs after shipment details and contract compliance checks. The platform automates documentation, tracks shipments in real time, and sends alerts. Invoice Audit checks charges against contracts and shipment data, including overcharges, duplicates, missing discounts, and hidden fees. PO Management connects procurement, logistics, and suppliers from tender through delivery. Ocean, air, and trucking are supported, with integrations for ERP, TMS, WMS, BI, carrier portals, SAP, and Oracle.
