Transportation & Logistics Data Security

Transportation and logistics companies move a constant stream of shipping documents, customs paperwork, and partner contracts across carriers, 3PLs, ports, and depots worldwide, where delays or leaks disrupt supply chains and erode margins. FileOrbis secures and automates document-driven workflows while accelerating access across a fragmented partner network.

How FileOrbis Helps

• Content-Aware Handling of Shipping & Customs Documents: Automatically classify bills of lading, manifests, customs paperwork, and contracts, and apply handling rules based on content and sensitivity.
• Metadata-Based Permissions by Lane, Customer & Partner: Control access using metadata such as route, customer, or partner, keeping the right documents in the right hands across a complex network.
• Smart SFTP for Carrier, 3PL & Customs Exchange: Handle high volumes of partner file transfers with content inspection, rule enforcement, and detailed logging for secure, auditable collaboration.
• Automatic Encryption of Contracts & Customer Data: Encrypt rate sheets, contracts, and customer data automatically based on content and metadata, protecting commercial information end to end.
• Caching & Fast Access for Depots, Ports & Hubs: Provide fast local access to frequently used documents at depots, ports, terminals, and cross-dock hubs through intelligent caching.
• Workflow Automation for Document-Driven Processes: Automate routing, approval, and processing of document-driven workflows, such as BOLs, PODs, and customs paperwork, with scheduled and event-driven flows that remove manual bottlenecks.
