Field notes
The homepage targets freight, logistics, and engineering companies holding at least three years of records, and uses employee count plus record age to generate a rough estimate. It describes possible source material including customer emails, quotes, shipment histories, damage claims, and project files. A fictional Dallas-to-Memphis shipment demonstrates the proposed format, while the site says businesses keep their originals and do not upload files before an agreement.
