Jay Edlin, Co-Founder & CEO of Wove, explains how their AI-powered orchestration platform is automating complex tasks, from ingesting 431-page federal notices in an hour to processing 2000-line commercial invoices in just 30 seconds.

Learn how Wove’s solutions, including a free tariff calculator, are driving massive cost and time savings, helping logistics providers focus on strategy over tedious manual work. Discover the future of global trade compliance and why human expertise remains irreplaceable.

Wove, an agentic orchestration platform for global trade, can process a 2,000-line commercial invoice or packing list into CargoWise in roughly 30 seconds — work that freight forwarders previously handled entirely by hand, co-founder and CEO Jay Edlin told FreightWaves.

The Chattanooga appearance marked Edlin’s return since the 2022 F3 conference, and he used the time to detail how the largely bootstrapped company has grown its annual recurring revenue sevenfold over the past year.

Wove serves two primary customer segments: logistics service providers — freight forwarders and customs brokers on the international side — and, more recently, shippers through a tariff intelligence product. Its core automation platform handles shipment registration, customs entry writing, and one-off quote creation inside CargoWise.

Edlin argued that faster quoting translates directly to revenue: “In this business, if you quote faster, you’re probably going to win the business.” The company’s free tariff calculator, available at tariffs. wove.

com, grew out of a weekend side project late last year after a competitor — which Edlin identified as also being a customs broker — restricted access to its own free tool. Wove’s version drew thousands of users per week within a few months.

The platform has since expanded into a premium tier and an API licensing business, all with what Edlin described as essentially zero customer acquisition cost. “The Federal Register notice from last week for the new Section 301 tariffs, which came out about 12 hours before they went into effect, was 431 pages long.

And with the technology that we have under the hood of our tariff engine, we were able to understand and ingest the 431-page notice in about an hour.” The speed advantage matters because even a licensed customs broker can spend many hours parsing a document of that length.

Wove’s ingestion engine — originally built to handle unstructured data like commercial invoices and packing lists — was repurposed for the U. S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The company says it has now ingested more than 45 HTS revisions since last year, building a database of roughly 3.

2 million rules covering Chapter 99 exclusions, inclusions, and effective dates. Edlin called it a “tariff time machine” that importers are using to run historical audits via API.

Wove also white-labels its tariff data for customs brokers that want a branded calculator on their own websites, and offers a product catalog module allowing importers to bulk-upload SKU data and run real-time tariff exposure simulations. Fortune 500 companies and academic researchers are among current users, Edlin said.

When a new Federal Register notice drops, an automated Slack alert triggers an AI agent to ingest the changes, with corrections from licensed customs broker partners turned around in minutes. The company has raised less than $500,000 to date, and Edlin said it remains largely bootstrapped.

He declined to disclose absolute ARR figures but confirmed the 7x growth over the past year. On the question of whether AI tools like Claude could replace customs brokers entirely, Edlin pushed back: the important work, he said, is helping customers interpret the latest tariff updates — not manually entering line items into a TMS.

Wove’s long-term path, he added, could range from a sustainable independent business to an acquisition, with those
