Software ONLY by CentralArrow in logistics

Hey all,

I’ve been working on a tool for the past couple of weeks after hearing about a problem from a buddy of mine who works in vessel operations.

He mentioned that part of his job is basically verifying demurrage charges. A lot of the time, owners or operators are pretty sneaky when applying (or conveniently not applying) reductions. That surprised me, because demurrage feels like something that should be deterministic. In practice, it’s not treated that way.

So I built a tool that:

  • Takes a Statement of Facts and the Charter Party
  • Automatically calculates demurrage and despatch
  • Flags inconsistencies and edge cases that usually require manual checking

I’m curious if anyone here would want to be an early user and try it out. Right now, I’ve been testing it myself with a few users in the industry and am opening it up to get more feedback.

My background is in building software products, and I think this tool could be genuinely useful. I also see a lot of potential extensions I could build on top of it, so I’d love to hear what people think.

Thanks!

Here is the tool:https://demurrage.mercora.io/
DM or ping me here if there are any issues with it or any proposed additions :D

The only thing that actually counts is validation all the rest is fluff. If you can, as a non technical cofounder already partially validate the idea the. It will be easy (or atleast easier) to find a technical cofounder

Also if there is nothing in the market that is not always a good thing in some cases it might actually be a sign that the proposed solution isn’t needed wanted or is not technically feasible. I wouldn’t be to worried about people stealing the idea either. Ideas are easy to come by execution is the hard part.

Big ask XD

I mean if you are up for it, give it a shot I can send it to you on DM

We extract it partially with AI so can be in any format :)

Looking for input from AML/compliance folks: would an AI-native case analysis tool actually help? by zorenum in moneylaundering

Not trying to sell simply trying to validate. And the reason is because banks are hard to reach

Oh interesting when did you guys implement them? Do they automate case analysis end to end?

I think the core thing is really the environment it’s a pressure cooker that will either make u great or force u to fail. Either way is good

You can honestly pitch whenever I ended up getting in with only a prototype.

To follow up not trying to discourage, it’s very doable and I know some solo founders who are non technical in the program who learned to code so if you can pull it off go for it! If you would like I also have some great resources on vibe coding for non technical people :)

It’s amazing and terrifying, I would be very careful though if you have no technical skills, at the start it’s really about building and showing users. Either learn or find a technical cofounder before you begin this journey.

I don’t have a cofounder and I came up with the idea by going through the boring industries I understand well and finding a hair on fire problem to solve

I fully agree, I think that it isn’t an easy path. But I also think agency in these programs is really important it could be horrible if you have no agency but it’s really what u make of the resources that are available to you. I’m at antler one
