Deep Cognition Honored as Top Tech Startup in Food & Supply Chain

Deep Cognition’s forward-thinking technology has earned the company the title of ‘Top Tech Startup Award’ from Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain, one of the most prominent publications covering the supply chain industry. This recognition reinforces the value we’re delivering to the global logistics ecosystem and signals strong market validation for our approach to AI for customs and freight forwarding.

Solving a Persistent Operational Bottleneck

Deep Cognition identified a recurring operational bottleneck inside freight forwarding and customs brokerage: teams were drowning in customs paperwork. Hours were lost manually copying data across documents, double-checking codes, and correcting declaration errors. A single mistake could trigger delays, fines, or even a shipment being held at the border. The process was archaic, the workload was overwhelming, and the risk was simply too high.

How Deep Cognition Earned the Top Tech Startup Award

Being recognized as a Top Tech Start Up in Food & Supply Chain is the result of disciplined execution against a clear vision: applying AI to high-stakes, high-friction logistics workflows where accuracy, compliance, and cycle time directly affect the P&L.

Domain-specific AI, not generic tooling

Deep Cognition is purpose-built for logistics, freight forwarding, and customs – domains where documentation, regulatory compliance, and data quality are mission-critical. PaperEntry AI platform reflects this focus: it is trained on real customs workflows and decision points, not just unstructured text, enabling higher accuracy and more reliable automation in production environments.

Measurable operational and financial impact

Our customers deploy PaperEntry across millions of shipments per year to materially reduce manual data entry, accelerate clearance times, and lower error rates in customs declarations. These improvements translate into reduced operating costs, stronger SLA performance, and lower compliance risk-outcomes that matter at the executive level, not just incremental process efficiencies.

Enterprise-grade integration and governance

Deep Cognition delivers enterprise-grade AI purpose-built for the complexities of global freight forwarding operations. Acting as a TMS-agnostic automation layer, our technology integrates deeply with the major transportation management systems, ERPs, and customs platforms used across the industry today.

Scale for global, multi-market operations

Our platform is engineered to handle high document volumes and multi-country workflows, enabling global logistics providers to apply consistent intelligence, rules, and controls across their network, whether they are processing tens, hundreds, or thousands of shipments per day.

Customers as Strategic Partners

Deep Cognition’s recognition is rooted in the strength and depth of our customer partnerships. Our product roadmap is shaped in close collaboration with the people who run logistics every day — heads of customs, operations executives, and digital transformation leaders who are directly accountable for service quality, compliance, and performance at scale.

Looking Ahead

Being recognized as a Top Tech Startup by Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain is an important milestone, but for Deep Cognition, it is also a starting point. We will continue investing in AI-driven products like PaperEntry AI platform that help logistics organizations modernize their operations, reduce risk, and build more resilient supply chains.
