Chain.io has introduced AI Checks, a shipment monitoring tool that finds problems hiding in large spreadsheets and continues tracking them as data changes over days, weeks and months.

The product addresses a persistent challenge in logistics operations: teams receive updated shipment spreadsheets daily with hundreds or thousands of rows but lack an efficient way to find the handful of shipments that need attention. AI Checks creates a “shipment inbox” from uploaded spreadsheets. Users write verification rules in plain English—such as “Flag any shipment going to Brazil” or “Verify all HTS codes are valid”—and the system automatically applies them. When users upload an updated spreadsheet the next day or next week, AI Checks shows only what changed. Shipments that have been reviewed and archived remain hidden unless new issues surface.

The system maintains memory across uploads, tracking individual shipments as they progress through the supply chain. A shipment flagged on Monday might be archived on Tuesday once corrected, then resurface on Friday if new data reveals a problem. This continuous monitoring eliminates the need to manually cross-reference multiple spreadsheet versions.
