About Novelavia
We are building the intelligence layer for freight paperwork
Novelavia is an independent, early-stage technology startup building AI-native solutions for logistics. We are currently developing our MVP, starting with rate confirmation processing for U.S. freight operations.
Our mission
To eliminate repetitive administrative work from freight operations through intelligent document processing and workflow automation.
Why now
Why we started Novelavia
Freight still runs on documents
Rate confirmations, bills of lading, PODs and invoices arrive as PDFs, scans and email attachments, in a different layout from every broker and shipper.
AI can finally read them in context
Multimodal models are increasingly able to interpret layout, tables, stamps and handwriting, which makes document automation possible without building a template for every broker.
Operators need automation they can trust
Payments and appointments depend on this data. Automation has to show its confidence, flag gaps and keep people in control.
What we believe
Principles that guide how we build
These principles apply to the product, to how we talk about it, and to how we work with early customers.
- Honest by default
- We label what exists and what is planned, and we never present simulated results as real AI output.
- Built for operators
- Dispatchers, brokers and accountants will shape the product through early access and pilots. Their workflows come before our assumptions.
- Respect for data
- Customer documents are confidential. We collect what we need, protect it, and delete it when it is no longer needed.
- AI where it removes real work
- AI belongs in the product where it saves time: reading, checking and structuring documents.
