Search beyond company names
Filter shipment activity by importer, supplier, product description, HS code, origin, destination, port, carrier, and date instead of relying on one exact company spelling.
Bill of lading database
Search shipment records, then turn the evidence into a freight sales account.
Logistics Intel organizes U.S. customs bill of lading records around the questions freight sales teams ask: who is shipping, what they move, which lanes they use, how often they move, and who to contact next.

The practical definition
What the software should help your team accomplish.
A bill of lading database is a searchable collection of shipment records that identifies parties, products, ports, carriers, dates, and routing details associated with cargo movements. For freight sales, the useful version does more than return rows. It resolves duplicate names into company profiles, summarizes shipment patterns, and connects those patterns to account research and outreach.

Frequently asked
Questions freight teams ask.
What information appears in a bill of lading database?
Common fields include shipper, consignee, notify party, carrier, vessel, origin and destination ports, product description, shipment date, weight, quantity, and container information. Field availability varies by filing and source.
Can I search bill of lading records by product?
Yes. Logistics Intel supports product-description and HS-code research alongside company, port, carrier, lane, and geography filters, allowing a sales team to define a market by what is moving rather than by a purchased company list.
How does bill of lading data help a freight forwarder?
It provides evidence that a company ships, shows the lanes and products involved, reveals cadence and carrier patterns, and gives a rep a factual reason to prioritize the account and tailor the first conversation.
Is a bill of lading database the same as a contact database?
No. Shipment records describe freight activity; contact data identifies people. Logistics Intel connects the two workflows so a rep can research the shipment pattern and then find relevant logistics, supply-chain, import, procurement, or transportation contacts where available.
