FAQ

Questions CHA firms ask us.

Short answers — the demo covers the rest.

What is Broto?

Broto is the operating system for Indian customs brokers (CHA firms). You drop in a shipment's documents, the AI fills an ICEGATE Bill of Entry or Shipping Bill checklist in under 2 minutes, and while the shipment is in transit Broto tracks the vessel ETA and polls ICEGATE for the IGM automatically.

Who is Broto built for?

Custom house agents (CHAs) and freight forwarders in India who file import and export shipments on ICEGATE — any port, single or multiple commodities, Bills of Entry and Shipping Bills.

Does Broto file directly on ICEGATE?

No. Broto generates spec-checked ICEGATE flat files (.be / .sb in the ICES 1.5 format) and checklists that your team verifies and uploads. The portal assists never log in, submit, or solve captchas on your behalf — your licence stays in your hands.

How does the tracking work?

Vessel tracking auto-starts from the Master B/L and refreshes every 6 hours across your shipping lines, with an alert when the ETA slips. For imports, the IGM is tracked automatically and the register updates itself the moment the manifest is filed, with an email and in-app alert.

Can it replace our Excel register?

Yes — that is the point. Broto's firm-wide register has auto-updating IGM and ETA columns, custom columns, admin/operator roles and an activity log, so nobody spends the morning updating a spreadsheet.

How is Broto priced?

Starter is usage-based (classification, duty + FTA lookup). Growth is per active case and includes the AI checklist, automatic tracking and ICEGATE file generation. Enterprise is custom for high-volume, multi-branch firms. Hire your AI employee at brotoai.com or email support@brotoai.com.
