Bring the evidence together
Combine authorised carrier milestones, clearance information and operational messages in a timestamped shipment timeline. Provider access and integration scope are still being validated.
UK ocean imports / operational intelligence
Know what’s
holding your
import back.
Tracking tells you where a container is. Obsidia is being built to explain what is blocking its release — and who needs to act next.

DELIVERY BLOCKEDCustoms is cleared, but Port Health examination remains pending. Line release and terminal availability also need confirmation.
Synthetic scenarios only. No live carrier, CNS or Port Health connection. These controls demonstrate the intended workflow.

The proposed product
One view.
Every remaining blocker.
Import information lives across portals, community systems and email threads. We are developing a way to turn those fragments into a clear operational picture.
Surface the next action
Use Claude to extract events from unstructured messages, explain conflicting updates and draft concise summaries. Keep uncertainty visible and send ambiguous matches to an operator.
Keep the right people informed
Build role-controlled updates for operations, customers and hauliers. Prioritise unresolved holds, stale information and approaching deadlines supported by verified evidence.
Designed around operational trust
A confident update
needs a reliable source.
Clearance is a fact established by the relevant authority. Our planned AI layer helps interpret communications; explicit rules and verified evidence determine the displayed readiness status.
A customs release is not a Port Health release.Each applicable authority and operational release stays separate.
Unknown remains unknown.Missing, stale or conflicting evidence must stay visible.
Every update needs a trail.Preserve the source, timestamp and supporting evidence.
Readiness is not a collection booking.Slots, haulier availability and local requirements still need confirmation.
Built from the operations desk
Industry knowledge.
A focused starting point.
Founded as a project by Gökhan Bülbül, a UK-based freight-forwarding professional with industry experience dating back to 2003. Obsidia brings practical import-coordination knowledge to the design of a new logistics product.
Independent venture · UK ocean-import focusWhere we are today
Obsidia is at concept stage. The first planned prototype will use synthetic scenarios and authorised sample communications. CNS, carrier and Port Health data access have not yet been secured; update frequency will depend on each source.
Next: validate one real workflow.
Our immediate focus is user interviews, data-access feasibility and an evidence-backed prototype for a narrow UK import use case.
A business contact address will be added once our domain and mailbox are configured.
