How Wove compares.
Teams come to Wove from template-based platforms, custom-agent services, RPA bots, OCR tools and general-purpose AI. Here's how they stack up for freight forwarding, customs and trade automation.
Modern freight automation, without the enterprise baggage.
Wove is LLM-native from the ground up, configurable by your own team and live in days. Template-based platforms are powerful, but built for a world where formats and workflows stay the same.

Why teams choose Wove over Raft.

What is the best alternative to Raft for freight forwarders?
Wove is an LLM-native alternative to Raft for freight forwarders and customs brokers. It reads documents without templates, works in your shared inboxes, integrates natively with CargoWise and goes live in days — and Wove doesn't charge until your existing contract ends.
How is Wove different from Pallet?
Wove is a configurable product rather than a custom-build engagement. You don't need forward-deployed engineers on site to build agents: your ops team sets up workflows, SOPs and business rules in Wove, with remote onboarding from our team. That makes Wove faster to launch and less expensive to run.
Is Wove an RPA tool like UiPath?
No. RPA tools automate clicks and require developers to build and maintain bots. Wove is purpose-built AI for logistics documents and workflows: it understands 35+ document types out of the box and writes directly to CargoWise through its native integration.
How is Wove different from OCR?
OCR reads text off a page and relies on templates. Wove is LLM-native: it understands logistics documents in context, handles new layouts and messy scans without retraining, validates data across documents, and syncs the result to your TMS.
Why not just use ChatGPT for logistics documents?
General-purpose AI works one prompt at a time and leaves you to copy the output into your systems. Wove processes every email automatically, validates each value, writes it into CargoWise and logs every action — with customer data never used to train AI models.
How long does it take to switch to Wove?
Most teams are live in less than a week. Wove's team configures your workflows and integrations and can run in parallel with your current tool before you cut over.
