One shared record for every import shipment.

Why Tyllus exists

An import shipment crosses several companies. The supplier gets the goods ready, the freight forwarder books and moves them, the carrier reports the container's progress, and the customs broker needs complete documents to clear it. The importer is responsible for all of it, yet the information usually sits in email threads, spreadsheets and carrier portals.

When a date moves or a document is missing, someone has to rebuild the picture by hand. Tyllus exists so that picture is already there: one record per shipment that the whole team can read, with the next action and its owner in plain view.

What you can do in Tyllus

Tyllus covers the daily work around a shipment, from the purchase order to the final landed cost.

• Turn purchase orders into shipments without retyping supplier, product and quantity details.
• Collect commercial invoices, packing lists and bills of lading against the shipment they belong to, and see what is still missing.
• Send and track follow-ups to suppliers, forwarders and brokers, with a clear owner when a reply is late.
• Follow container ETA changes from supported carriers and keep the previous estimate for comparison.
• Build landed cost from freight, duty, brokerage and other cost lines, each traced to its source document.
• Prepare the customs handoff with the evidence your broker needs, and review reports on lanes, costs and exceptions.

Who uses it

Tyllus is built for import teams that move roughly 10 to 100+ ocean containers a month, and a single operator can start on their own. Today it supports ocean imports into the United States and definitive ocean imports into Mexico. Team members and partners can work in English, Turkish, Italian or Spanish.

• Importers who own the operating picture across all their partners
• Logistics teams running the daily shipment queue
• Purchasing teams handing orders over to logistics
• Finance teams checking shipment costs and invoices

How teams start

Most teams start with one representative workflow. You can create a free account and set up your first shipments yourself, or book a workflow review in which we look at how your suppliers, forwarders and brokers coordinate today and show where Tyllus fits.

Records that live in spreadsheets and email can be brought in in stages. You do not need every historical shipment on day one.

What Tyllus is not

Tyllus is workflow software. It does not move cargo, act as a customs broker, file customs entries or give legal advice. Your forwarder, carrier and broker remain responsible for their work; Tyllus makes their requests, replies and documents easier to follow.

AI features help read documents and organize information, but shipment, customs and cost decisions stay with people. Tyllus tracks 11 ocean carriers automatically and the Tyllus team checks the ETA for any other line; carriers remain the source of their own dates.

Import news and guides

Tyllus also publishes plain-language news about tariff, customs and shipping changes in the United States and Mexico, each linked to the official notice, along with practical guides on import documents, container charges and landed cost.

Who writes Tyllus guides

Guides and articles on this site are written by Ayhan Karaca, Co-Founder of Tyllus. Each one links official requirements to their primary source and shows the date it was last updated.

Official records in the import news radars stay labelled as source records until a reviewed brief explains what changed, who is affected and what to check next.
