🚀 Quick Start

Option 1: Deploy via Supabase SQL Editor (Easiest)

1. Open Supabase SQL Editor:

   https://fdmcdbvkfdmrdowfjrcz.supabase.com/project/_/sql
   

2. Copy & paste freight-intelligence-complete.sql

3. Click "Run" and wait ~30 seconds

4. Run verification query:

   SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.tables
   WHERE table_schema = 'public' AND table_type = 'BASE TABLE';
   -- Should return 35+

Option 2: Deploy via Command Line

cd ~/intdb
./deploy-to-supabase.sh

Option 3: Test Queries

# Open quick-start-queries.sql and run sections 1-4
# to verify deployment and insert test data

Full deployment guide: See DEPLOYMENT-GUIDE.md

🤖 AI Agent Integration

Email Processing Flow

1. EmailIngestionAgent
   → Fetch emails from Gmail
   → INSERT INTO raw_emails

2. ClassificationAgent
   → AI classifies document type (95% confidence)
   → INSERT INTO document_classifications

3. ExtractionAgent
   → AI extracts booking #, dates, parties
   → INSERT INTO entity_extractions, structured_extractions

4. LinkingAgent
   → AI finds matching shipment (90% confidence)
   → INSERT INTO shipment_link_candidates
   → If confidence >= 90% → Auto-link

5. Dashboard Updates
   → Query shipments, documents, events

AI Functions

-- Update customer metrics (shipments, revenue, payment rate)
SELECT update_customer_metrics(customer_id);

-- Calculate vendor performance score (1.00-5.00)
SELECT calculate_vendor_performance(vendor_id);

-- Detect customer preferences (carriers, routes, lead time)
SELECT detect_customer_preferences(customer_id);

-- Calculate linking confidence (0-100)
SELECT calculate_link_confidence(entities, shipment_id, email_date);

-- Archive completed shipment (purge raw data)
SELECT archive_completed_shipment(shipment_id);

📈 Business Intelligence Queries

Customer 360 View

SELECT * FROM customer_360
WHERE customer_code = 'CUST001';

Returns:

• Total shipments, revenue, average value
• Recent activity (last 30 days)
• Communication stats, sentiment
• Active shipments, pending invoices

Vendor Scorecard

SELECT * FROM vendor_scorecard
WHERE vendor_type = 'carrier';

Returns:

• Performance rating, on-time delivery rate
• Recent performance (last 90 days)
• Delays, outstanding payments

Shipment Timeline

SELECT * FROM shipment_events
WHERE shipment_id = 'uuid'
ORDER BY event_timestamp DESC;

Financial Summary

SELECT
  transaction_category,
  SUM(amount) as total,
  COUNT(*) as transactions
FROM shipment_financials
WHERE shipment_id = 'uuid'
GROUP BY transaction_category;

🔧 Configuration Examples

Add New Document Type

INSERT INTO document_type_configs (
  document_type, display_name, document_category,
  email_subject_patterns, content_keywords
) VALUES (
  'packing_list', 'Packing List', 'shipping',
  ARRAY['packing list', 'PL'],
  ARRAY['net weight', 'gross weight', 'packages']
);

Add New Carrier

INSERT INTO carrier_configs (
  id, carrier_name, email_sender_patterns
) VALUES (
  'evergreen', 'Evergreen Line',
  ARRAY['@evergreen-line.com']
);

Adjust Auto-Link Threshold

UPDATE document_type_configs
SET min_confidence_auto_link = 85.00  -- Lower from 90%
WHERE document_type = 'booking_confirmation';

No code deployment needed! ✨

📊 Data Lifecycle

Shipment States

ACTIVE (0-90 days)
  → All raw data retained
  → AI continuously processing

COMPLETED (90-120 days)
  → Shipment delivered
  → Grace period for final invoicing

ARCHIVED (120+ days)
  → Raw email bodies purged
  → Structured data retained permanently

Archival Process

-- Find shipments ready for archival
SELECT * FROM shipments_ready_for_archival;

-- Archive a shipment
SELECT archive_completed_shipment('shipment-uuid');

-- Result: Emails purged, attachments deleted, metadata retained
