LAYCAN REPORT

The Monday-morning kill list
for your freight lane.

Every Monday: the US importers on your lane whose next container is statistically due to book — each one graded, with the incumbent forwarder you’d be displacing named on the card. Built from the public US customs manifest record. A seat covers every category we track — not just one.

The data is public. The allocation isn’t.

5 real accounts, free · no card · no call · 2-minute qualification

Derived from public US customs records (19 CFR 103.31).

1,386,368 manifests read 5,151 licensed forwarders screened fewer than 1 in 8 forwarders active in the furniture lane manifest data current to 2026-08-24

You already know the game.

Freight accounts are won at the booking moment and lost to inertia everywhere else. The importer who ignored your last three emails picks somebody the week his next container books — and that week is invisible from the outside.

So you're stuck choosing between:

Either way, you're the analyst. We think you should be the closer.

Every Monday at 07:00 ET, one short list.

01 — The Incumbent Flag

We name who currently holds the account.

Not "an opportunity" — a specific forwarder you're displacing, so your first call opens with a target, not a pitch.

02 — The Strike Window

We compute the cadence and flag when the window is open.

Freight accounts run on a cadence. We tell you the week a booking decision is actually being made — not a guess, a pattern pulled straight from the bills of lading.

When we don't know, the card says so.

Every freight number is labeled with its own confidence. We only print a strike-window flag on the accounts where the pattern is real — fewer than 1 in 10 leads. The rest, we leave blank rather than guess.

How it works.

Three steps. No onboarding call. No dashboard login.

Step 01

Request your free sample

Tell us your trade lane. We pull five live accounts from your category — masked names, unmasked numbers — and send them to your work inbox.

Step 02

Get your Monday list

Every Monday at 07:00 ET, a private feed link refreshes with that week's graded accounts: the incumbent forwarder, the booking window, the freight volume. Twenty curated leads, ready to dial.

Step 03

Close more freight

Your reps stop filtering manifests and start calling. Reply to any issue and it reaches the analyst who built the feed directly — not a support queue.

THE HONEST COMPARISON

ImportGenius, Panjiva, Datamyne — and us.

They sell you the archive: every BOL, searchable, priced for an enterprise seat. That’s the right tool for research. It is the wrong tool for Monday morning, because the filtering is still your job.

We don’t compete on records. We compete on the twelve accounts that matter this week: importer-vs-forwarder already split, grade assigned, incumbent named, booking window computed. If you already pay for a database, keep it — this is the layer you were building by hand on top of it.

A raw export gives you rows: no importer-vs-forwarder split, no grading, no incumbent, no timing. At a loaded $35/hr, the weekly hours a rep spends filtering that down costs you roughly ~$1,400/mo — on top of the subscription — to hand-produce, imperfectly, what this feed delivers finished for less than the price of one lunch meeting.

The data being public was never the edge. Fewer than 1 in 8 US-licensed forwarders are even active in furniture lanes at all. Most of that market is still doing this by eyeball. You won't be.

Laycan runs as an analyst-led intelligence desk: every card is checked against the manifest history before it ships, never auto-published with no one reviewing the call. Reply to any issue and it reaches the analyst who built the feed directly — not a support queue.

— The Laycan Desk

What this isn't.

Questions before you subscribe.

Is this legal?

Yes. Every card is derived from public US customs manifest data under 19 CFR 103.31 — the same public record enterprise logistics-intelligence vendors build on. We just do it at a price an independent NVOCC can actually justify.

Anyone can buy this data. What am I actually paying for?

The manifest record is public — that part's true, and we don't pretend otherwise. What isn't public is the allocation: once an account enters an active booking window, it's assigned to one subscriber, not published to a shortlist. While that window is live, the card is yours to work, and nobody else on the desk is calling it. Leave an account untouched with no activity logged and it returns to the pool for someone else — the same way it reached you. That's the product. The data underneath is the same public record anyone can buy.

How new are these accounts?

Every card is labeled honestly. We flag new-to-category activity plainly; a small number of leads carry a verified new-importer tag only after a human lookback confirms it. We'd rather under-claim than oversell you a lead that turns out to be a veteran importer.

How does seat allocation work?

The subscriber base is capped at a fixed 10 seats, set by our current data-licensing throughput — not a per-category cap, since a seat isn't scoped to one category. Once all 10 seats are allocated, new placement requests join at the $399 standard rate. Seats allocated at $199 keep that rate for as long as the subscription stays active.

Do you sell my data, or this data, anywhere else?

No. This feed is not resold, and the enrichment we use for our own outreach is never embedded in what we sell you.

My lane isn't furniture or fitness — what do I actually get?

A seat isn't a furniture plan or a fitness plan — it's access to graded importers across every category we actively track (today: furniture, fitness equipment, solar, and batteries), scored and timed the same way on every card. Furniture and fitness simply have the deepest manifest history right now, so those lanes carry the most volume in your feed. Tell us your category when you request the free sample and we'll prioritize building your feed around it — for a lane we don't track yet at all, name it and we commission a scout: a real, masked five-account sample pulled and graded from your market, delivered after a quick reply-to-confirm step, same format the live feed ships every Monday, not a projection.

We already have a sales team. Why do we need this?

This isn’t a replacement for your reps — it’s what your reps stop doing. The 8–10 hours a week they spend filtering manifest exports isn’t selling, it’s data entry. We hand them Monday’s call list so they spend the week on the phone instead of in a spreadsheet.

We bought a lead list before. It was worthless.

Most likely because it was a list of companies, not a list of moments. A company on a manifest is not a prospect — a company whose next booking decision is live this week is. That timing is the entire product, and on the ~90% of accounts where the pattern isn’t statistically real, we print nothing rather than pad the list.

What happens after I take a seat?

A feed link lands in your inbox. Every Monday at 07:00 ET it refreshes with that week’s graded accounts. No login to remember, no dashboard to learn, no onboarding call. Reply to any issue and it reaches the analyst who built it.
