Meet Melrose at Breakbulk Americas.
Breakbulk never got automated the way container freight did. Automation needs standard operations, and nothing about breakbulk is standard: every shipment, every document, every quote is different. Melrose is built for exactly that. Agents embedded in the systems you already run, doing the mundane work accurately so your team can focus on the freight that matters most. Grab time with us in Houston.
- Bidding, order entry, and document handling on autopilot, even when nothing is standard
- Agents embedded in your operation, not a tool bolted on top of it
What makes Melrose different is that they understand our business at an operational level. Their AI technology doesn’t just extract order data, it understands the context behind each field and why it matters for freight operations.
Also trusted by W.W. Rowland, Flexport, and dozens more carriers, brokers, and forwarders.

Workflows people bring us
Bring one manual workflow. Leave with it automated.
Tell us the workflow when you book. We build it against your kind of data and show it running the moment we meet, not a canned demo. A few we hear all the time:
Every bid comes back on a different spreadsheet, and someone rebuilds it into ours by hand.
No two shipments have the same specs, so nothing about our order entry is standard.
Dimensions, weights, and stowage plans arrive as PDFs and photos, and someone re-keys all of it.
We chase mates receipts and dock receipts over email for days before a booking is confirmed.
Rate quotes live in someone's inbox, not a system, until the shipment is already moving.
Vessel schedules, port congestion, and cargo specs all get cross-checked manually before we commit space.
Permits and route surveys for OOG loads get tracked in a shared spreadsheet nobody trusts.
Every EPC customer wants status updates in their own format, so we build the report by hand.
Matching invoices to the original quote takes someone a full day per shipment.
We re-key cargo specs from the shipper's packing list into our system for every single lift.
Surveyor reports and lashing certificates come in on paper and get typed into our files after the fact.
Nobody has time to standardize this, so it stays a spreadsheet and email operation.
The show
Two days with the people moving the world's most complicated cargo.
Breakbulk Americas brings together shippers, carriers, forwarders, and port operators working on project cargo, heavy-lift, and out-of-gauge freight. Melrose will be on the ground the whole time. If you are going, let us buy you a coffee and show you the back office running itself.
