Shrinking drawback package prep from days to hours
A customs brokerage needed to turn messy shipment and importer records into review-ready drawback packages without requiring perfect upstream data first.
32 hrs to 4 hrs prep cycle82% straight-through assembly100% source traceability
The bottleneckThe work was slow because analysts had to normalize data and verify document relationships by hand before they could even begin package assembly.
- Analysts lost hours reconciling identifiers across mismatched source formats
- Missing records were often discovered late in the assembly cycle
- Reviewers had limited visibility into which source pairings were confident versus questionable
What we builtRed6 built a staged extraction and matching workflow that progressively improved data quality, assembled high-confidence package components automatically, and exposed unresolved conflicts to reviewers.
- Document extraction across invoices, shipment records, and supporting files
- Progressive normalization and fuzzy matching instead of up-front replatforming
- Exception queue for missing data, tariff conflicts, and ambiguous document links
- Reviewer workspace organized around package completeness and source traceability
