For freight forwarders, brokers & 3PLs

Your quote and exception threads are worth money to AI labs.

What's valuable

What buyers want from forwarders, brokers and 3PLs

Records of real work and how it turned out. The more years and the better kept, the more they're worth.

  • Quote-to-booking threads

    How a request became a rate, a booking and a shipment, across carriers, agents and customers.

  • Exception handling

    Rolled containers, missed cutoffs, customs holds and damage claims, and how your team resolved each one.

  • Dispatch logs and load tenders

    Who moved what, when, and what changed on the way.

  • Manifests, BOLs and invoices

    The paperwork trail, including accessorial and detention disputes.

  • TMS records

    CargoWise or other TMS history, tied to the emails around each job.

  • SOPs

    Carrier selection, documentation and customs procedures, written down.

What labs learn from it

Why exceptions are the valuable part

When a container rolls at the port, someone on your team rebooks it, tells the shipper, reprices the move and fixes the invoice, across five email threads and two systems. That chain, with how it ended, is what an AI agent has to learn before it can work a logistics back office, and no public dataset has it.

  • Turning a messy request into a quote
  • Recovering from an exception
  • Keeping the invoice right when plans change

No logistics-specific prices are public yet, so these are general figures from other industries. We never promise a number. Value depends on how much data you have, how many years it covers and how well it's kept. Your valuation tells you where you stand.

See where you stand

How it works

Three steps. You approve every one.

You don't need to prepare anything for the valuation, and nothing leaves your company until you've seen it and signed off.

  1. Get a free valuation

    Answer a few questions about your company. Within one business day we email you what buyers want from businesses like yours and what drives the price. No data needed yet.

  2. We find the buyer and do the work

    We match you with buyers who want your kind of data, then handle anonymization, PII removal and the paperwork. You approve every file and every term before anything leaves.

  3. You get paid

    Your company is paid under the license you sign. The buyer pays our fee, so it costs you nothing.

Privacy

What stays with you

You decide what's in scope. These never leave, and nothing goes anywhere without your written sign-off.

What never leaves

  • Shipper, consignee and contact details
  • Rates and terms under NDA
  • Customs filings that carry personal data
  • HR, payroll and personnel files

How we anonymize

  1. Personal data is removed or replaced with placeholders.
  2. The cleaned files are reviewed, by us and then by you.
  3. Nothing leaves until you sign off in writing.

FAQ

Questions owners ask first

Anything else? Email [email protected] and a person will answer.

Most of our work lives in email and CargoWise. Does that count?

Yes. The email threads around quotes, bookings and exceptions are the valuable part, especially when they can be tied to the TMS record and the final invoice. Shipper and consignee details are removed or replaced before anything leaves.

How do you keep our data private?

Nothing leaves until it has been through three steps. Personal data (names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, account numbers) is removed or replaced with placeholders. The cleaned files are reviewed, by us and then by you. And you sign off in writing. Customer personal data, privileged or regulated records, and HR and payroll files are left out entirely.

How long does it take, and when do we get paid?

Your valuation arrives within one business day. If you go ahead, scoping and signing usually take a few weeks. Buyers pay once the data is delivered and accepted, typically 60 to 90 days after acceptance, and some pay sooner.

Do our employees need to know?

It depends on the data. Employee names and contact details are removed like everyone else's, and HR, payroll and personnel files never leave. Some material, such as call recordings or staff messages in certain states, can carry notice or consent rules; we flag it before anything is shared. Many owners choose to tell their team, and your counsel has the final word.

What does it cost us?

Nothing. The buyer pays us a fee when a deal closes. There's no upfront cost, and if no deal happens, nobody pays anything.

What if we say no?

Then nothing happens. The valuation is free and commits you to nothing. You can stop at any point before you sign, and nothing is ever shared without your written approval.

Who are you?

Data Dividend is a service of Augment Inc., based in Plano, Texas. We're independent, not tied to any one AI lab or data buyer, so our job is to find the buyer that fits your data rather than to fill one buyer's quota.
