Freight DKAS
Business Automation Agent (OPC agent) sub‑product · email‑driven · freeze‑before‑send · audit replay
Runtime template for ocean freight / customs (an OPC platform sub-product). Turns email-driven workflows into a runnable · auditable · approval-gated system.
What it solves
- Email is the entry point: monitor customer / booking desk / trucking mailboxes and classify mail into business intents.
- Project grouping: consolidate mail and attachments into per‑project “file vault” with searchable history.
- Freeze‑before‑send: booking / manifest / VGM and other outbound messages are frozen, previewed, and only sent after approval; approved content is not rewritten.
- Auditable decisions: key decisions and trace IDs are linked; outbound deliverables can be replayed back to source attachments.
Main workflow
- Receive entrustment: detect entrustment emails and shipping instruction attachments; create a project and archive.
- Booking & pre‑booking: booking requests are sent; pre‑booking replies are forwarded to the customer with next‑step prompts.
- Collect customs docs: detect customs docs and container/seal lists; parse and validate fields.
- Generate manifest & VGM: produce artifacts with evidence, then enqueue as pending outbound.
- Approval & send: preview frozen content in the console and send only after approval.
Capabilities (acceptance‑ready)
| Classification | Entrustment / pre‑booking / customs docs / container list detection and workflow triggers. |
| File vault | Per‑project archiving of email and attachments; status overview & history. |
| Outbound gate | Recipients/subject/body/attachments are frozen and previewable; approve → send only. |
| Multi‑tenant | Isolated mailbox configs, LLM configs, approval & send records. |
| Privacy | Credentials stay in customer‑controlled secret storage; audit export and outbound gate policy are configurable. |
Relationship to agent‑OS and agent studio
Freight DKAS is a runtime template of the Business Automation Agent (OPC agent) platform for ocean freight / customs. Three-layer architecture:
| Layer | Artifact | Responsibility and dependency |
|---|---|---|
| Business template · Freight DKAS (this page) | Ocean freight / customs agent runtime template (freight_v1) | Roles (project manager / booking / customs / docs) + workflow (entrustment → booking → docs → manifest/VGM → frozen outbound); a sub‑product of the OPC platform in this scenario. |
| Business layer · Business Automation Agent (OPC agent) platform | Business automation agent cluster · per‑business bundle templates · agent.crusbro.com live instance |
|
| Packaging tool · crusbro agent studio | Zero‑code dual‑pane · online at studio.crusbro.com |
|
| Runtime layer · crusbro agent‑OS | MIT‑licensed open‑source kernel · GitHub · 600,000+ hours of run‑time data | Runtime foundation shared by Freight DKAS and every other OPC cluster: Agent / Cluster loop, Manager / Auditor, gates · freeze · replay · evidence packs. |
All three layers share the same evidence‑pack semantics and acceptance language. Full architecture and OPC platform mechanics live on the Business Automation Agent (OPC agent) page; packaging‑tool details live on crusbro agent studio.
FAQ
Q: Why “freeze‑before‑send”?
Preview = send: frozen content is immutable post‑approval — what you approve is what gets sent.
Q: Do we have to run in the cloud?
On‑prem and edge deployment are supported; mailbox credentials are handled in customer‑controlled KMS.
Q: How does this relate to the Business Automation Agent (OPC agent) platform?
Freight DKAS = the OPC platform’s freight / customs template. Same Manager / Auditor / HITL / Gate governance, ready to run.
