The Problem

Shipping document fraud is a growing global problem

Fraudulent bills of lading, forged CMR documents and manipulated cargo manifests cost the global shipping industry an estimated $50 billion annually. A single altered weight declaration or consignee name can result in customs seizures, cargo theft, or major liability disputes.

Traditional paper-based processes and PDF emails make it trivially easy to modify shipping documents between parties without detection.

  • Forged bills of lading used to claim cargo fraudulently
  • Altered consignee names in transit documentation
  • Manipulated weight or value declarations for customs
  • Backdated shipping confirmations in dispute resolution
The Solution

Seal every shipping document at origin

DocMind creates a cryptographic fingerprint of your shipping document the moment it's issued. This SHA-256 hash is unique to every byte of the file — any change produces a completely different signature.

Each document receives a structured seal code (e.g. NL-2026-SH-000001-XXXX-XXXX) and an embedded QR code. Any party in the chain — freight forwarder, port, customs, consignee — can verify authenticity instantly.

How DocMind works

1
Issue
Issue & seal at origin
The shipper or freight forwarder uploads the document. DocMind seals it with a SHA-256 hash and issues a unique seal code.
2
Embed
QR embedded in document
A verification QR code is embedded in the document. Any party can scan it to reach the verification portal instantly.
3
Transit
Document travels with chain of custody
The sealed document moves through the logistics chain. Each party can verify authenticity — no account required.
4
Verify
Verify at any point
Port, customs, consignee: anyone can verify the document at docmind.nl/v. Full audit trail records every check.
