What is an import control tower?
A unified layer above all your systems. Answers one question: what's happening right now across all my shipments — and what do I need to do?
The category, not the product.
In global logistics, three software categories emerged over two decades:
TMS / ERP
Order management & execution
Freight Software
Freight forwarder management
Control Tower
Visibility & decision for the importer
A control tower is not a replacement — it is the layer above that gives the importer unified visibility across all systems, connecting data to decisions.
Walmart, Unilever, Procter & Gamble have managed shipments through control towers for years. Al Jady brings this category to Saudi Arabia and the GCC, designed from the ground up for its ecosystem.
Built on one principle: action before reporting.
Every screen in Al Jady ends with one question: what do you need to do right now? Every alert comes with a next step. Every number translates to SAR or hours. Every decision is backed by data, not instinct.
From bill of lading to a decision — in three stages.
First: Input — as simple as possible
Upload the bill of lading as a photo or PDF. Al Jady automatically extracts: container number, supplier, both ports, expected dates, HS code, and cargo type. What it doesn't recognise, it asks once.
Second: Processing — connecting everything to everything
Al Jady connects the bill to: regulations active at arrival time, the demurrage schedule for the specific port per actual MAWANI tariff tables, available supplier documents, and previous shipments from the same route for benchmarking.
Third: Engines — decisions, not reports
The morning brief summarises daily: what must be done today sorted by cost impact, what needs attention this week, and what changed since yesterday.
Six engines, working in parallel.
Each engine has its own screen — visit any one to see today's status, drill into history, or tune thresholds.
Morning Brief
Every day at 7:00 AM: what's urgent, what needs attention, what changed. Customisable via email, WhatsApp, or app.
Financial Countdown
Every active shipment shows cumulative daily delay cost in SAR, and hours remaining before demurrage starts.
'What-if' Scenarios
Calculate the cost of any decision before making it. What if clearance delays 2 days? What if the container moves to a private warehouse? Answer in numbers, instantly.
Regulation Radar
Al Jady monitors SABER / SASO daily and alerts you 30 days before any regulation affecting your shipments' HS codes.
Demurrage Audit
Upload 90 days of demurrage invoices. Al Jady reveals what could have been avoided and what's worth disputing — with a detailed report.
Suppliers Dashboard
Each supplier has their own page: shipping schedule compliance, document quality, demurrage rate, and total relationship cost.
Why a control tower?
A control tower gives the importer something that was not previously available in the Saudi market: complete visibility and proactive decision-making at the same time.
