Platform That Connects Every Decision to Your Bottom Line.

Predict tariff exposure before it hits your margin. Automate HTS classification, model landed costs, and give every sourcing decision a number you can defend.

Your systems

  • ERP

    Parts, suppliers, purchase orders

  • PLM

    Bills of materials, product specs

  • TMS

    Shipments, routes, transport mode

  • SCM

    Demand plans, sourcing data

  • Invoices

    PDF, CSV and Excel

SenseAhead

  • AI-assisted HTS classification
  • Tariff provisions by origin and entry date
  • BOM cost rollup
  • Invoice extraction and validation

What you get

  • Landed cost

    Per part and per assembly

  • Duty forecast

    Monthly, quarterly, yearly

  • Estimated vs actual

    Variance flagged line by line

  • Audit trail

    Every classification and edit

SenseAhead sits on top of the systems you already run. It reads parts, bills of materials, shipments and invoices from your ERP, PLM, TMS and SCM, classifies and prices them, and returns landed cost, duty forecasts, estimated-versus-actual variances and an audit trail, without changing your existing workflows.

The Problem

What's Broken

Tariff schedules that once remained stable for years are now changing every week. The tools most teams rely on were built for a more predictable era of global trade.

  • No Landed Cost Visibility

    Sourcing decisions are made without knowing the true landed cost until the invoice arrives — by which time the margin is already committed.

  • Reactive Sourcing

    When tariffs shift, teams scramble. Re-qualification, dual BOMs, emergency re-sourcing — all executed under pressure with incomplete data.

  • Reconciliation Gaps

    By the time estimated duties are reconciled against actuals, the margin is already gone. No one knows where the gap came from.

  • Fragmented Data

    HTS codes live in spreadsheets. BOMs are in ERP. Invoices are in email. Nobody has a complete, connected picture of tariff exposure.

Tariff Simulator

Enter an HTS code, origin, destination and entry date to get the full duty picture for a shipment in seconds. Change the country of origin or shipment value, run it again, and see how landed cost moves.

  • Real-time calculation of duties, HMF, MPF, and origin-specific surcharges
  • Smart Detection: automatically identifies all applicable tariff provisions
  • Preferential and standard rates compared where a free trade agreement applies
  • Download a PDF report or share a link to the result

Solution

Trade Compliance

AI-assisted HTS classification with a reasoning trail.

HTS Classification

Suggests an HTS code from a part number or product description and logs every decision for audit.

  • AI-assisted HTS classification from MPN or product description
  • Structured 4-step method: category matching, chapter notes, GRI decision tree, Chapter 99 lookup
  • A full reasoning trail behind every suggested code
  • Every classification, edit, and export logged with a timestamp and user identity

Solution

Landed Cost

Duty and landed cost across every BOM level, today and ahead.

Explore Landed Cost

BOM Cost Rollup

Upload your bill of materials and instantly see every component's HTS code, country of origin, tariff rate, and landed cost — line by line, across every assembly level.

  • Multi-tier BOM visibility with parent-child assembly relationships
  • Automatic HTS classification for every component on upload
  • Component-level duty tracking with cost impact analysis
  • Identify which components drive the highest tariff cost across your BOM
  • Optimize total material costs, including tariff impact

Duty Forecast

Whether you're building a monthly sourcing plan or a quarterly budget, SenseAhead projects duty costs forward in time so every decision is made on where rates are going — not where they've been.

  • Monthly, quarterly, and yearly projection views
  • Assembly and part-level demand-driven duty forecasting
  • One-click export to CSV, PDF, and Excel for financial planning
  • Identify high-tariff products requiring sourcing changes before commitments are made

Solution

Supply Chain Risk

Estimated against actual duty, recovery, and reporting.

Invoice Intelligence

SenseAhead extracts line items, HTS codes and duty from every invoice you receive, validates each line, and feeds the result into a live tariff actuals record.

  • OCR-powered extraction from PDF invoices — every line item parsed and validated automatically
  • Multi-format support — PDF, CSV, and Excel for flexible data ingestion and export
  • Automated validation against HTS codes, duty rates, and supplier records in real time
  • Seamlessly capture and compare tariff values at the time of customs clearance, and highlight any differences

Duty Recovery Tracker

The gap between what you estimated and what you actually paid is where margin quietly disappears. SenseAhead tracks every dollar of that difference, invoice by invoice and line by line.

  • Estimated vs. actual duty tracking with variance flagging across every line item
  • Review, Pending, and Cleared workflow for full lifecycle management
  • Cost breakdown by tariff type — base cost, duty, HMF, MPF, total landed cost
  • Exportable records for financial reconciliation and audit preparation

Reporting & Analytics

Custom analytics across your entire tariff lifecycle — duty spend by country, supplier, and category. Automated variance detection flags country-of-origin shifts before they become costly surprises.

  • Duty spend breakdown by country of origin, supplier, and product category
  • Country-of-origin variance detection — flag supplier risk shifts automatically
  • YTD duty trends vs. prior year for executive reporting
  • Actionable alerts when tariff exposure exceeds defined thresholds
