Carrier service contracts to reviewer-ready
rate sheets — with PDF evidence.
Drop in an ocean carrier service contract. Manifesto extracts every rate, arbitrary, and surcharge into your existing rate workbook — and links every row back to the exact line in the PDF it came from.
| Origin | Dest | 20GP | 40HC |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNSHA | USLAX | $1,450 | $1,850 |
| CNNGB | USLAX | $1,450 | $1,850 |
| CNSZX | USLGB | $1,500 | $1,900 |
| CNYTN | USLGB | $1,500 | $1,900 |
"Rates subject to GRI effective May 1. BAF included in base ocean freight."
What teams using Manifesto can expect on every contract.
Keying ocean contracts by hand is a bottleneck
A single carrier service contract is hundreds of pages of port-pair rates, arbitraries, and surcharges. Amendments arrive every few weeks and reset the clock.
Hours per contract
A pricing analyst spends 4–8 hours keying a single ocean service contract into the team's rate workbook.
Errors that surface late
Manual transcription produces typos that show up as customer disputes weeks later, and there is no audit trail to chase them back to the source.
No line-of-sight to the PDF
When a number is questioned, the answer lives in someone's spreadsheet history — not in the contract itself.
A 13-stage pipeline that classifies, extracts, and verifies
Deterministic-first. AI is a fallback for ambiguous cases, never the engine. Every row is verified against the source PDF.
Classify the document
Identify document kind, family, layout type, and amendment status before any extraction logic commits to a strategy.
Extract every table
Block-based parsing of rate tables, arbitraries, commodities, and surcharges with explicit page-and-text provenance per row.
Normalize against your reference data
Cities, commodities, and surcharges are matched to managed lookup tables. Unknowns are flagged, not guessed.
Verify against the PDF
Each row is scored as verified, needs-review, or weak based on actual PDF text support — no template required.
Triage in the workbench
Reviewers work the queue with side-by-side PDF highlighting. Click a row, the origin, destination, and rate tokens light up on the page.
Export to your rate template
Reviewer-ready .xlsm that drops into your existing rate workbook — VBA macros preserved. No workflow change.
Every row points back to the page it came from.
When a customer disputes a rate, you don't dig through someone's spreadsheet history. You click the row and see the PDF token.
- Click a row → origin, destination, and rate tokens highlight on the PDF page.
- Three evidence states — verified, needs-review, weak — surfaced on the row itself.
- Provenance is structural: page number, line region, and token offsets, not a screenshot.
Base ocean freight: $1,450 per 20GP.
Everything you need to process faster.
From ingestion and extraction to review and export — all in one place.
Block-Based Parsing
Manifesto understands the actual structure of freight contracts: rate blocks, note blocks, arbitraries, and surcharges.
Evidence Verification
Every extracted row is scored against the PDF text that supports it. Strong, ambiguous, and weak rows are surfaced explicitly.
Browser-Based Triage
Resolve flagged rows in a purpose-built UI. Compare extracted values against PDF evidence side by side.
Immutable History
Every pipeline run is a permanent artifact. Row history, amendments, and reviewer actions are auditable.
Layout-Aware Routing
Documents are routed through deterministic layout profiles. Unknown layouts are flagged, not silently guessed.
Explicit Provenance
Every field carries a strict audit trail back to the page, line, and tokens it was extracted from.
Amendment-Aware
Amendments are first-class. Each one is processed against the base contract with full row-level diff and version history.
Your Template, Preserved
Export reviewer-ready .xlsm that matches your existing rate workbook — macros preserved. No workflow change.
Roles that move faster on day one
Pricing teams ship more contracts. Operations leaders get audit trails. Reviewers stop scrolling spreadsheets.
Pricing Director
Owns rate desk throughput and accuracy at quarter-end.
Trade Lane Manager
Lives and dies by amendment cycles.
VP Operations
Owns audit posture and customer disputes.
Built for procurement review.
Tenant isolation, encryption, and audit logging are wired in — not bolted on.
Tenant isolation
Database-level row scoping per organization. No cross-tenant reads, ever.
Encrypted at rest and in transit
TLS for all traffic; server-side encryption on object storage.
Audit log on every change
Row history captures actor, timestamp, and field-level diffs.
SSO via Supabase Auth
Invite-only, role-based access. Email + password, magic links, and OAuth via Supabase identity providers.

How do we get started?
Stop keying carrier contracts by hand.
Bring us a sample contract on the discovery call. We'll show you the extraction, the evidence trail, and the .xlsm export — in your existing template.
Pilots typically launch within 1–2 weeks of the discovery call.
