We catch the slip fourteen days before the port gate closes — in your WhatsApp group, your CHA’s email and your buyer’s PO, while the cheap fix is still on the table.
When the gate cut-off passes at Nhava Sheva or Mundra, your container is offloaded. The shipping line sails on schedule.
Airfreighting 4,500 kg of garments on hangers to Hamburg at ₹725/kg against ₹85/kg by sea.
One missed cut-off: ₹28.8 lakh you did not budget for.
The four cut-offs that decide whether your container sails.
Each one is owned by a different person, and each is usually missed for a reason somebody already knew about days earlier.
Document cut-off
Typically 72h before ETDShipping Bill filed and cleared with your CHA.
Breaks when one invoice line or an HS code is still being argued over on email, and nobody tells the CHA until the evening batch.
VGM cut-off
Typically 48h beforeVerified Gross Mass matched to the weighbridge slip.
Breaks on a weight that does not match the packing list. A 70 kg variance is enough for the line to refuse the container.
CFS / terminal gate-in
Typically 24h beforeThe container is physically inside the terminal gate.
Breaks in the port queue at 3am, when the only person who knows the truck is late is the driver.
Vessel ETD
ImmovableThe ship sails.
Does not break. Everything above is negotiable up to a point; this one never was.
Disasters don’t arrive as single events. They accumulate in small, silent breakdowns across WhatsApp groups and documentation desks.
Factory gate out
40ft container loading delayed by 2.5 hours due to barcode re-labeling of 120 cartons.
CHA assumed a standard 12-hour buffer. Sent "Truck on the way 👍" in the WhatsApp group.
The 150-minute slip is read off your own dispatch log and set against the gate-in cut-off. The remaining buffer drops below four hours, and that shows up on the board.
Catching discrepancies early costs nothing.
Shipping Bill vs VGM
Shipping Bill filed with a gross weight of 18,450 kg against a VGM weighbridge slip of 18,520 kg — a 70 kg variance.
Discrepancy unnoticed in an email attachment. Documentation clerk waiting for the routine evening batch check.
The declared gross weight is cross-checked against your VGM weighbridge slip. The 70 kg mismatch goes to the CHA documentation head on WhatsApp the same morning.
Catching discrepancies early costs nothing.
CFS gate congestion
Expressway queue plus customs server downtime adds 5 hours. Terminal gate closes at 18:00.
Logistics manager asleep. Driver stuck in a 4km port queue with no priority slot.
Kyre flags the gate-in slot at risk and pushes the CHA to request an expedited gate-in appointment, with the truck re-sequenced ahead of two lower-priority loads.
Detention, re-handling and expedited gate charges.
Vessel sails without cargo
Container missed gate cut-off by 42 minutes. Vessel "MSC LORETTO" departs for Hamburg without the cargo.
CHA calls at 09:30: "Sir, next vessel is after 7 days, but the German buyer requires delivery in 4 days."
Without an early warning, ocean freight (₹3.83 lakh) is forfeited and the whole lot converts to emergency airfreight.
Full airfreight conversion. 8.5× the sea rate.
It runs alongside what you already use — WhatsApp, email, your ERP — and speaks up when a date starts slipping.
We map your cut-off chain
Every deadline on a live shipment, who owns it, and the three places it has actually broken in the last year.
We wire it to what you run
WhatsApp, email, your ERP, the spreadsheet three people actually use. Nothing gets replaced.
Somebody keeps it true
Buyers change, rules change, your process changes. The retainer is the part where the alerts stay worth reading.
How a slip becomes an alert.
Left to right. Select any block to read what it actually does.
Dispatch control
Turn a channel off and nothing on it fires. That is your switch, not ours.
Escalation call
When a message has gone unread and the window is closing, it stops texting and rings the phone.
Your document desk
Certificates, inspection reports, the buyer’s amended PO — chased in your firm’s voice, and handed to you only when it needs a decision.

When an immovable sailing date is missed, the buyer forces airfreight to make their store drop date. Move the inputs to your own shipment.

Margin protected
This is a whole merchandiser’s salary, not a fraction of one. We would rather say that out loud than let you find it later.
The costs land in the same place. The difference is that a merchandiser watches the shipments they can hold in their head on the days they are in the office, and this watches all of them, on the days nobody is.
One real thing this has already done.
Not a mockup. A screenshot of the workflow, or the alert it actually sent.
A fixed build to architect and test the watch on your dates, then a flat retainer for the part where your process changes and the alerts have to change with it.
Build, then the first year paid up front.
Or ₹1.5L build + ₹40,000/month. The prepay saves ₹50,000 and is the one we would rather you took.

The deadline audit
A written map of your cut-off chain: every deadline, who owns it, where it currently breaks, and what it has cost you in the last twelve months.
Credited in full against the ₹1.5 lakh build if you proceed. If the map says there is nothing worth building, you keep the map.
Container-visibility platforms already exist and they are good at what they do. Kyre is not one. It works the last five hundred metres they never touch: the CHA WhatsApp group, the dyeing mill that slipped two days, the buyer’s PO sitting in a spreadsheet. That cannot be standardised at platform scale — it can only be done one client at a time.
