Case Study: Shipfix (customer) achieves powerful, unified dry-bulk trade-flow insights with Spire (AIS provider)

How Shipfix uses Spire AIS data to generate powerful trade flow insights in one easy to use interface

Shipfix, a data and community platform transforming analysis in the Dry Bulk and Break Bulk maritime markets, faced the challenge of extracting actionable market insights from thousands of unstructured emails every day. To reduce risk, save time and cut costs, Shipfix partnered with Spire to combine its machine-learning email extraction with Spire’s AIS data via a single API.

Spire supplies AIS feeds that Shipfix cross-references with its analyzed emails — processing up to 2 million emails and about 1.5 billion AIS messages per month — to deliver consolidated trade-flow intelligence. The Spire-enabled solution provides real-time vessel tracking, filters for tonnage, dates, locations, cargo specs and vessel types, and intersects billions of vessel positions monthly, giving traders and analysts faster, higher-quality market insights and operational efficiencies.
