The empty quadrant
Docket vs BroadPeak · K3
Short version: BroadPeak · K3 records the trade. Docket does the chasing. Most desks that run one still do the follow-up by hand, and that is the part Docket takes over.
Where Docket differs
It performs the follow-up, it doesn't file it
Pipes, not people. It moves data you already have; it does not go and get what you are missing.
The work in question
Six jobs that stay manual next to a system of record
None of these is hard because it is technically difficult. They stay manual because every tool in the category records the trade and hands the follow-up back to a person.
- Checks every document is present & correctBL, invoice, COO, packing list, insurance — verified against your checklist, per container.How it works →
- Chases suppliers daily — schedules, prices, docsLoading schedules until confirmed, prices every morning, and whoever owes the missing document.How it works →
- Escalates on WhatsApp / call when it's urgentEmail first. Then WhatsApp, SMS and an AI voice call — automatically.How it works →
- Tracks every expense — traced to its emailDuty, port charges, CHA fees, detention — pulled from invoice emails, so each container's landed cost is live. Every line links to the email it came from.How it works →
- Builds your payment calendar itselfLoading confirmed → payables scheduled from your terms; receivables follow the sales contract. Currencies kept separate.How it works →
- Logs everything in a full audit trailEvery check, reminder, commitment and dollar on record — with the raw email behind it, one click away.
Polite, then persistent
You get the document — even when nobody answers email.
A reminder email is where most tools stop. When a supplier goes quiet Docket climbs, on channels your counterparties already use. Nobody has to sign up for a portal.

The math
What the chasing costs while it stays manual
On a 500-container desk, on the operational baseline published across this site.
- 770 ha month of desk time Docket takes over
- $19,250what that time costs today, loaded
- $205,800a year, net of what Docket costs
Demurrage and fraud savings are deliberately excluded — both are real, both are episodic, and this number is only desk time.

Straight answers
Docket and BroadPeak · K3, side by side
Is Docket a replacement for BroadPeak · K3?
Not usually. BroadPeak · K3 is trade data integration, 100+ venues. Docket is the desk work around it — chasing the supplier, checking the pack against the contract, escalating when nobody replies, and building the payment calendar. Most desks keep their system of record and add the follow-through.
What does Docket do that BroadPeak · K3 does not?
It performs the follow-up itself, and it reaches counterparties on email, WhatsApp, SMS and an AI voice call — channels they already use, with no portal for anyone to sign up for. pipes, not people
Do my suppliers have to join anything?
No. That is the difference from a network product. Docket contacts your exporter, CHA and bank where they already are.
What does it cost?
Per shipment, not per seat — from $6 a shipment, and a shipment bills at most two containers.
Who you will be dealing with
Give me 15 minutes and I'll show you what we've taken off a real importer's desk
I'm Balkrishna, and I built this after more than twenty years working on and managing an export–import trade desk — I have chased the packing lists, checked the packs and paid the demurrage this site describes. Docket runs a real import SOP end to end today — the six jobs on this page are working software, not a roadmap. We are taking on two or three import desks to build the next part around.
Write in and you get me, not a sales team. That is deliberate rather than an apology for our size: the fastest way to make Docket good at your desk is to talk to the person building it.
Still deciding?
We will walk your actual workflow — the six jobs, on your containers — and tell you plainly where Docket helps and where it does not.
WhatsApp, email or phone — you get the founder, not a sales team.
