A Deputy product
Traceroot is a shipment desk that works your email, files the documents, reconciles what arrived against what was ordered, and posts the result to your ERP.
Supplier, forwarder, broker, trucker, warehouse, bank, retailer, VAN, ERP. None of the work between them is judgement — it is requesting, cross-referencing and chasing. It is also where the money leaks.
What is moving, what it is worth, what is stuck, and what needs a decision from you today.
Open shipments, value in flight, demurrage exposure and the approval queue
Your suppliers, brokers and warehouse will never log into a portal. So the agent runs from its own mailbox.
Invoices, packing lists, COAs, bills of lading, telex releases and rate quotes are read and filed against the right shipment automatically.
Approve buttons sit in the message. Approving by email updates the app, and the reverse is true too.
Reminder cadences run on their own schedule and escalate internally as an item ages.
Who it corresponds with directly — no portal, no logins, no change to how anyone else works
Inbound is a container arriving. Outbound is an order leaving. They share a lot, so cost and traceability run straight through.
Not a parallel ledger and not a reporting layer. Approved results are written into QuickBooks or NetSuite as the postings your accountant expects.
Posted against the shipment, lot and PO reference your team already uses — never as a loose manual journal.
Every amount comes from the calculation engine and is marked as calculated. The model writes the explanation, never the number.
Cost of goods sold is recognised once, at invoice, at the specific cost of the lot that shipped. That single choice is what makes per-order margin true.
Invoice, PO and container numbers act as idempotency keys, so a re-sync updates the record instead of posting a second one.
A guided walkthrough using your suppliers, your customers and your workflows.
