About Unifo

Unifying Information across the EXIM ecosystem.

UNIFO — Unifying Information. Born from the vision that every stakeholder in the EXIM ecosystem — carriers, shippers, customs brokers, authorities, ports, transporters, warehouses — works in disconnected systems with fragmented information flows. UNIFO exists to change that.

One intelligent layer
across a fragmented ecosystem

The problem

The EXIM ecosystem involves many stakeholders — but each typically works on separate systems and disconnected information flows. Coordination is manual. Errors are invisible until they're costly.

The UNIFO purpose

To use technology and intelligence to help unify this fragmented environment — improving ease of operation and bringing better visibility, coordination, and control across EXIM workflows.

Where we start

Sentinel is the first and flagship expression of this strategy — transforming customs clearance and compliance operations, with the Unifo One platform growing to serve every participant in global trade.

Our story

Built inside the industry.
Not outside it.

Unifo was founded by Ravi Kumar, who brings over 35 years of experience in the customs and logistics industry, including his role as Founder and former MD & CEO of Flyjac Logistics — one of India's leading customs brokerage and logistics companies.

UNIFO started with the insight that the EXIM ecosystem was deeply fragmented — every stakeholder on a different system, every workflow disconnected, and every coordination point dependent on manual effort. That fragmentation had a cost: in time, in errors, in compliance risk, and in lost operational control.

The Unifo One platform was developed to address this — beginning with customs clearance and compliance, where the pain was most acute and the opportunity for structured, validated, intelligent automation was greatest.

Today, supported by 90+ domain and technology professionals, Sentinel has evolved from an internal tool into a robust platform — refined through real-world usage and now available to the wider EXIM community.

Ravi Kumar — Founder, Unifo

"We decided to build Sentinel so customs work could move from person-dependent handling to structured, validated, compliant, and scalable operations."
