1. THE BEGINNING
This innovation initially came to life when…
Ben and Brandon ran into so many problems with sales and shipping documentation for import/export shipments. Through running their own import business they started creating the software to streamline imports and exports for goods around the world. IncoDocs was accepted into the River City Lab’s Accelerator Program in late 2016 where they redeveloped the software and launched to the market.
2. WHAT & HOW
The purpose of this innovation is to…
…allow Importers, Exporters and 3rd parties involved in global trade to connect and share shipping information and documents through a secure shared portal. IncoDocs streamlines the documentation and communication between all parties in the supply chain.
It does this by…
…providing a secure cloud based Software-As-A-Service platform. Users can instantly sign up to create sales and shipping documents and instantly share to their entire supply chain through a shared portal. IncoDocs gives companies true visibility into their global trade operations through multi-user accounts access and by providing instant updates and communications to all parties in the supply chain.

3. PURPOSE & BENEFITS
This innovation improves on what came before because…
…most importers and exporters are relying on manually creating sales and shipping documents in broken Word and Excel templates. Errors and delays can cause problems including delays, fines and missed shipments around the world. Important information and documents are manually being communicated through email chains. Digital documents allows the data to be used in many new ways to improve efficiencies.
Its various benefits to the customer/end-user include…
Allowing users to create documents 10x faster through shared data. Instant sharing of documents and shipping updates between parties in the supply chain. Ensures compliant trade documentation. Sellers can confirm more orders through instant confirmation of quotes & purchase orders.
4. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
In the past, this problem was solved by…
Manual time consuming processes including creating documents in non-compliant templates, manually communicating and sharing important shipping information and documents between all parties in the supply chain.
