Example shipment. Your documents, same flow, in minutes instead of days.
The Problem
Your cargo moves fast. Your documents don't.
Most bills of lading still move by courier. The cost is not just financial. It is time, risk, and lost opportunity, and it shows up most sharply at the bank.
Rejected the first time.
Most letter-of-credit documents come back on first presentation
Usually mismatched data across the bill of lading, invoice, and packing list. Each rejection adds days and cost (ICC Banking Commission).
The Solution
Electronic Bill of Lading, built to verify anywhere.
DocuShield replaces the traditional Bill of Lading with a cryptographically secured eBL that any counterparty can verify independently, with no DocuShield account required.
Issue in seconds
Fill a structured form and issue in seconds. DocuShield wraps your data in a tamper-evident cryptographic proof and records it on the XDC Network behind the scenes.
Tamper-proof by design
Every document carries a tamper-evident cryptographic proof. Alter a single character and the proof breaks instantly.
Title transfer on chain
Transfer ownership of an eBL to a new party in one step. Beneficiary and holder roles are enforced on chain through ERC-721 Title Escrow, with no intermediary needed.
Open interoperability
Documents are verifiable on verify.tradetrust.io or any TradeTrust-compatible verifier, not locked to DocuShield.
More document types on request
Need certificates of origin, commercial invoices, or other trade documents? Additional KTDDE document types are available on request. Contact us to discuss your document workflow.
Recognized legal frameworks
Built on UNCITRAL MLETR, adopted into law in the UK (Electronic Trade Documents Act), Singapore, France, the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), and Bahrain, among others. In the United States, electronic documents of title rely on UCC Article 7, with E-SIGN and UETA governing electronic signatures and records.
The electronic Bill of Lading is our core product. Other KTDDE document types are available on request, and our developer API is in early access.
Standards & Open Network
Built on open standards. Verifiable anywhere.
DocuShield does not ask anyone to trust a proprietary format. It builds on the open standards that banks, carriers, and customs authorities already recognise, so your documents are not locked to DocuShield.
Once the document is verifiable, lenders can trust it.
