01 · In-App AI
It assists your teams in each module
Extraction from quotes, invoices, transport documents, rate sheets and attachments. AI removes re-entry and prepares structured data.
The AI-ready TMS for freight operations
AI that assists, answers and acts
OneChain structures freight AI across three levels: AI embedded in modules to read and extract, an assistant that answers inside the product, and agents that can act through Zach or through your own systems.

The 3 AI layers
In-App AI Read and extract
In-Product AI Answer
External AI Act
AI architecture
Three levels from document to action
The point is not only to read an invoice. The point is to make transport data usable, queryable and actionable.
02 · In-Product AI
It answers operational questions
Your teams query OneChain about risky shipments, costs, delays, missing documents or invoice discrepancies.
03 · External AI
It acts with your rules and guardrails
Zach operates on forwarder emails for you, or your own agents connect to OneChain via API, CLI and MCP in early access.
Two visions 
Zach reads forwarder emails, classifies documents and updates shipment files. Headless exposes OneChain data and selected actions to your internal agents. Guardrails: organization-level scopes, read-only by default and explicit approval for sensitive actions.
Zach to operate, Headless to connect your agents
OneChain covers two orchestration models: a OneChain agent that absorbs incoming flows, and a headless platform your data or AI teams can drive.
Zach reads forwarder emails, classifies documents and updates shipment files. Headless exposes OneChain data and selected actions to your internal agents. Guardrails: organization-level scopes, read-only by default and explicit approval for sensitive actions. Option A
Agents operated by OneChain
A shared email address receives forwarder messages. Zach matches attachments and surfaces exceptions.
Option B
Agents operated by the customer
Your internal agent queries OneChain, reconciles ERP data and prepares operational decisions.
Shared foundation
A TMS as reliable source
The same files, statuses, costs, documents and business rules feed humans, dashboards and agents.
Use cases
AI serving business modules
Every AI capability is tied to a concrete freight flow, not to a generic assistant.
Transport
Attach documents to the right shipment
Booking confirmations, HBL, HAWB, POD, CMR and forwarder messages are read, classified and matched to the right shipment.

Detect discrepancies and prepare action
AI matches invoice, quote and rate sheet, then prepares an alert your teams can act on.

Query costs, lead times, CO₂ and quality
Consolidated freight data becomes usable for performance questions and management summaries.

Connect the TMS to the inbox
Zach reads incoming flows, reduces email loops and only flags exceptions that require a decision.

AI anchored in real freight flows
Public and anonymized cases show the value of the foundation: fewer emails, less re-entry, and data that can be used to control cost and execution.
