Connecting the ecosystem
KlearNow was born out of thinking about things differently. From not accepting the status quo, to believing there had to be a better way to service brokers, importers and carriers. From believing that advances in technology could and should be applied to a category long dormant of innovation.
From a conviction that the difference was going to be the people behind the company, who would represent a diverse and rich experience in solving the problems the industry faced through technology with the passion to make a change.
Our Story
The global supply chain logistics market is highly fragmented with documentation processes that are complex, labor-intensive, error-prone, and time-consuming. We saw an opportunity to simplify and automate processes.
We created a Smart Logistics as a Service (LaaS) platform that connects data, people, processes, and organizations to enable new levels of visibility and productivity that reduce logistics costs and create better customer experiences.
Our AI-powered platform eases supply chain bottlenecks by digitizing paper-based transactions and enabling customs brokers and transporters to deliver superior real-time visibility needs of importers, exporters, and freight forwarders.

KlearNow.AI drives a clear improvement for importers through better data accuracy, faster clearance times, lower prices, and reductions in penalty fees.
We can only do this by hiring the best, as well as embracing and re-enforcing our culture as we grow. We care about our teams and our people. Our growth and success depend on the success of our teams.

KlearNow Journey

From not accepting the status quo, to believing there had to be a better way to service brokers, importers and carriers. From believing that advances in technology could and should be applied to a category long dormant of innovation.
