 Hosts: Andy Shiles Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Jack Moberger, Co-Founder, DocUnlock Ned Cartmell, Co-Founder, DocUnlock Sepehr Fakour, Co-Founder, DocUnlock Published: January 2026 Length: ~40 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Episode Summary In this episode of Simply Trade, Andy and Lalo sit down with the founders of DocUnlock to explore one of the most painful realities in global trade: document chaos. From commercial invoices and packing lists to certificates, statements, and agency-specific requirements, trade compliance still lives in PDFs, emails, spreadsheets, and inboxes. Jack, Ned, and Sepehr break down how DocUnlock is using AI to extract, structure, validate, and operationalize trade documents — turning static paperwork into usable compliance data. The conversation dives into real-world brokerage and importer pain points, why “document accuracy” is no longer enough, and how automation is shifting expectations across customs, PGAs, and supply chain partners. This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with high-volume imports, broker workflows, or compliance teams stretched thin. Key Takeaways Trade compliance is still dominated by unstructured documents — and that’s the bottleneck. AI can extract and normalize data without replacing trade expertise. Document automation reduces risk, speeds releases, and improves audit readiness. Brokers and importers benefit differently — but both win when documents are usable data. The future of compliance isn’t fewer documents — it’s smarter ones.
