Five Verticals. Full Compliance.

Every commodity ships with its own compliance layer.

No patching generic freight software onto specialized cargo. Every vertical is built from the ground up.

Pharmaceuticals

GDP cold-chain documentation at booking level. Temperature excursion tracking. Customs holds flagged before they happen.

GDP

Capital Goods

HS classification risk, dual-use export controls, and EAR99 status verified at quote — before customs gets involved.

EAR99

Electronics

IATA DG compliance for lithium battery shipments. Anti-static handling documentation. Automated classification across lanes.

IATA DG

Automotive

USMCA certificate generation connected to OEM purchase order deadlines. JIT delivery windows protected by vessel schedule intelligence.

USMCA

Petroleum

OFAC sanctions screening on counterparties. IMDG/HAZMAT documentation in one unified audit trail — no disconnected systems.

OFAC

Core Platform

Three pillars. Every shipment.

01

Compliance Engine

GDP, USMCA, OFAC, EAR99, IATA DG — pre-loaded per vertical, embedded at booking, not checked at the end. Every shipment ships with its compliance audit trail.

02

Pricing Intelligence

Carrier rate feed → cost build-up → margin logic applied → sell price generated. Cold-chain surcharges, HAZMAT fees, JIT premiums, dual-use classification costs calculated automatically.

03

Generic platforms treat every commodity the same. Pharma ships beside petroleum beside electronics — with no awareness of what they actually carry. This is how compliance failures happen. This is how margins get destroyed. This is why specialists need their own platform.
— The case for vertical-first freight

Members only.

ALC is not a marketplace. Every agent is vetted by vertical. No generalists. No noise. Just specialists who understand your commodity and compete on it.

Compliance at booking.

Not checked at the end. Not flagged after customs. Embedded at quote time — so every shipment that goes out has its documentation right from the start.
