// The Marapone Process — Logistics

HOW WE BUILD IT
FOR YOUR OPERATION

We don't sell software you figure out yourself. We design, build, and install a private AI system around your specific trade documents and carrier network — on your hardware, in your environment, with a full handover when it's done.

How it works

FOUR STEPS
TO OWNING IT.

From your documents to a private system you own outright — here's the path.

01

INTAKE

You hand over your documents

02

BUILD

We train a private model on them

03

DEPLOY

It runs on your infrastructure

04

OWN

Source code handed to you

01
Free 24h Assessment

YOU SEND A DOCUMENT.
WE SHOW YOU WHAT AI CAN DO.

Submit one real document from your operation — a carrier invoice, bill of lading, customs entry package, or freight quote. We analyze it with our AI, review the output personally, and return a written report plus short video walkthrough within 24 hours.

No pitch. No obligation. Just a demonstration on your actual data so you can make an informed decision before committing to anything.

// What to send us

  • Freight carrier invoices (any format)
  • Bills of lading or commercial invoices
  • Customs declarations or entry summaries
  • Packing lists, certificates of origin
  • Rate confirmations or freight quotes
  • Supplier communications / shipment notices

One document is enough to demonstrate what the AI can do with your specific trade data.

02
Discovery & Scoping

WE MAP YOUR WORKFLOW.
THEN WE PRICE IT.

After the assessment, if we're a fit, we run a focused discovery session — usually 30–60 minutes — where we map your document types, volume, trade lanes, and the specific problems you need solved. No templates. No assumptions.

From that session we produce a written scope and fixed price. You know the full cost before signing anything. No surprises mid-build.

Workflow mapped to your actual trade lanes and corridors

Document volume

How many invoices, shipments, and customs entries you process per month drives the architecture — we build for your actual load, not a generic assumption.

Trade lanes & commodities

Your specific lanes, HS codes, and carrier relationships determine how the AI is fine-tuned. A tech importer and a bulk commodities broker get fundamentally different builds.

Infrastructure & deployment

We establish where the system lives — your server, a local workstation, or an air-gapped environment — and confirm hardware requirements before scoping.

03
Build & Fine-Tuning

YOUR DOCUMENTS.
YOUR TRADE LANES.
YOUR MODEL.

We build the AI system around your actual documents — not generic training data. The model is fine-tuned on your invoice formats, your carrier confirmations, your customs document types. It learns the patterns that are specific to your operation.

All fine-tuning happens in our secure build environment. Your documents are deleted from our systems after the build is complete and verified. Nothing is retained.

// What gets built

Fine-tuned document intelligence model, trained on your document types and formats

Processing pipeline that handles your specific file types (PDF, Excel, email export, etc.)

Rules engine configured for your trade lanes, commodity codes, and carrier contracts

Report output in your preferred format — structured JSON, PDF summary, or spreadsheet export

04
Installation & Handover

YOU OWN IT.
WE WALK AWAY.

We install the system on your hardware, run it against a live sample batch to verify accuracy, and hand over everything — source code, model weights, documentation, and a team onboarding session.

After handover, the system is yours outright. You can modify it, extend it, or have another developer work on it. There are no usage restrictions, no subscription renewals, and no dependency on Marapone's servers continuing to exist.

"We don't take on many projects at once. When we're building your logistics AI, you have our direct attention — not a shared project manager. Most builds ship in 2–3 weeks from scoping to handover."

// What changes hands, and when

YOU OWN IT — HERE'S
EXACTLY WHAT YOU GET.

No vague "platform access." A Marapone build hands over real, inspectable artifacts on a real timeline. Here's the full chain of custody from first call to the day we walk away.

01 Day 0–2

Free assessment

  • A findings report on your docs
  • Mutual NDA if you want one
  • Docs deleted after, on request
02 Day 2–4

Scope & fixed quote

  • Written scope of the build
  • One-time price, fixed
  • Deployment target agreed
03 ~2 weeks

Build on your data

  • System tuned to your docs
  • Accuracy verified on a live batch
  • Progress you can see, not a black box
04 Handover

Everything is yours

  • Full source code
  • Model weights you own
  • Runbooks + admin credentials
  • Team onboarding session

No license to revoke · no server we can switch off · no subscription clock. After handover, Marapone could vanish and your system keeps running.

// One-time price, no subscriptions

STARTER BUILDS FROM $1,500

Most logistics clients land in the $4,900–$9,500 range. Full multi-workflow systems from $15,000. Exact scope and price confirmed after the free assessment — you know the number before signing anything.
