Why speed matters
A useful cargo or vessel can disappear while a broker is still searching folders or rebuilding a spreadsheet comparison.
How ranking changes the workflow
LaycanMatch extracts the offer, compares route and size logic, checks laycan overlap and surfaces the strongest options first.
Example: instead of comparing five emails manually, the desk can see that one Black Sea to Egypt cargo aligns better with a 47k vessel than the other four weaker options.
What saved positions add
The desk does not start from zero every morning because saved cargo requirements and vessel positions keep monitoring new offers.
Proof point: the workflow shifts from repeated inbox search to ranked review against positions the desk already cares about.
What still stays manual
The broker still reviews the source email and makes the final commercial decision.
What LaycanMatch does not do: it does not guarantee the best commercial choice or replace negotiations.
Who this is not for
If the desk rarely has competing cargo or vessel options to compare, the speed advantage matters less.
