Built for logistics providers, 3PLs, and supply chain teams

AI agents that move freight and stay compliant.

Supply chain teams are deploying agents across customs compliance, carrier procurement, and inventory optimization. Record governs every agent action across the multi-party ecosystem — with JIT credentials per external system and human approval gates on every action that commits spend, triggers a shipment, or touches a customs filing.

Agent Use Cases

Agents you can deploy today.

Every agent ships with Cedar policies pre-configured for supply chain compliance requirements. Deploy in minutes, not quarters.

01

Customs Compliance Agent

Classifies goods with HS codes, files ISF 10+2 importer security filings, submits CBP entries, calculates duties, and manages customs broker communication. HITL required for any classification with material duty implications. Mandatory OFAC/BIS/DDTC denied party screening enforced at Gate 1 before any shipment booking proceeds.

02

Carrier Procurement Agent

Solicits rates from carrier networks, evaluates bids against routing guides, and books freight across road (FMCSA-regulated carriers), air (IATA), and ocean. HITL gates on spot market bookings above configurable rate deviation from the routing guide — agents cannot commit outside policy authority without human approval.

03

Inventory Optimization Agent

Runs demand forecasts, calculates safety stock targets, and generates replenishment recommendations across the supply network. Routes recommendations to supply planners before triggering purchase orders — agents advise, humans commit. JIT credentials for ERP write access minted per approval cycle.

04

Freight Audit Agent

Validates carrier invoices against contracted rates and shipment records, flags discrepancies, and initiates dispute resolution. JIT credentials for each payment system — the agent never holds standing access to accounts payable or carrier payment portals between invoice runs.

05

Trade Compliance Agent

Screens every shipment against OFAC, BIS, and DDTC (State Dept) denied party lists, classifies export-controlled items under EAR, and generates EEI filings to AES. Routes any shipment touching sanctions-adjacent parties to a trade compliance officer via HITL — no export-controlled shipment proceeds without human sign-off.

The Challenge

Supply chain AI agents operate across a web of external parties — each with their own systems, credentials, and compliance obligations. An agent that can book shipments, file customs entries, and approve freight invoices simultaneously holds enormous financial and regulatory exposure. A single misclassified HS code triggers CBP penalties. An OFAC-sanctioned party slipping through a screening creates federal exposure. An unauthorized spot market booking creates carrier liability. ISF 10+2 non-compliance carries $5,000-per-violation CBP penalties. Most supply chain AI deployments treat governance as a future concern — by which point the first incident has already happened.

How Record Helps

Governance built for supply chain.

01

Multi-party credential isolation, per interaction

Each external system — carrier portals, customs brokers, freight exchanges, payment processors — gets separate JIT credentials minted per agent interaction and revoked on completion. Agents never hold standing access to any external party's system. A compromised freight audit agent cannot access carrier booking credentials it was never given.

02

OFAC/BIS/DDTC screening as a hard gate, not a downstream check

Cedar policy enforces denied party screening against OFAC, BIS, and State Dept/DDTC lists as a prerequisite before any shipment booking tool call executes. If screening returns a match, the agent stops — it cannot proceed with a booking regardless of what the rest of the workflow says. Trade compliance is Gate 1, not an audit trail feature.

03

Spend authority enforcement on every booking

Carrier bookings, spot market commitments, and purchase orders above configurable thresholds always route to human approval before the agent proceeds. Configurable per lane, per commodity, per dollar amount. Record enforces your delegation of authority matrix at the infrastructure level — not as a policy document that urgency can override.

04

CBP and C-TPAT audit readiness, automatic

Every customs filing, ISF submission, carrier booking, denied party screening result, and inventory decision is logged with agent identity, data sources accessed, and human approval status. CBP audit readiness and C-TPAT program validation documentation generated as a byproduct of running agents.

Three gates. Every action. Zero exceptions.

Every agent action passes through all three enforcement layers simultaneously — not just one. Here's what that means for supply chain.

Gate 1
Agent Harness

Cedar policy enforces OFAC/BIS/DDTC denied party screening before every shipment booking executes. Spend authority matrix encoded per lane and commodity — bookings above threshold always route to human approval. Export-controlled shipments require trade compliance officer HITL before EEI filing to AES.

Gate 2
AI Gateway

Content filtering prevents controlled technical data from appearing in LLM prompts sent to external providers. All carrier rate negotiations, customs classifications, ISF filings, and trade compliance decisions archived for CBP audit and C-TPAT validation requirements.

Gate 3
Kernel Sandbox

eBPF sandbox enforces network isolation between carrier systems, customs portals, and payment processors at the kernel — a freight audit agent authorized to validate invoices cannot make connections to booking systems. Prevents lateral movement across the multi-party supply chain technology stack.
