Patent number: 11687868Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for delivering internationally shipped items. Aspects of the invention utilize a unifying database to consolidate information from different parties (e.g., government entities, shippers, carriers, and item recipients) associated with delivery of an internationally shipped item in a common location. The unifying database facilitates communication between different the parties that use different data protocols, different data formats, different data types, different EDI, etc., including direct database entry of some data. Parties can update relevant information corresponding to their responsibilities within the unified database. When one party updates information, other parties can be notified electronically in essentially real time of status changes relevant to item delivery.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2018Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: KlearNow CorporationInventors: Ulf Sandberg, Rick Tellez, Sam Tyagi

Patent number: 11593750Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for managing and tracking shipments. Aspects of the invention provide an automated tracking and management system that allows interested parties (e.g., customers, truckers, carriers, consignees, manufacturers, importers, exporters, freight forwarders, etc.) to manage and track shipments across various different and diverse transportation legs between an origin and a destination. The tracking and management system (or “the system”) facilitates more efficient shipment logistics for interested parties in a number of ways. The system can provide truckers with information about a container (e.g., empty or full) or pallet or other shipment that is to be picked up at a location for further transportation.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: KlearNow CorporationInventors: Ulf Sandberg, Sanjeev Tyagi, Ricardo Tellez
