Marine Operational Finance That Closes the Loop
Marine operational finance covers the money-side workflows of shipping operations: disbursement accounting for port calls, agent invoice reconciliation, third-party cost booking, and freight audit. InfoSun runs them with domain experts and supervised AI agents, on the systems you already use, measured on outcomes.
The money side of a voyage ages badly: disbursement accounts reconciled a quarter late, agent invoices unqueried, costs booked from memory. InfoSun runs DA desks and audit workflows that keep postings current and variances queried while they can still be recovered.

Validating freight and surcharge invoices against contracts, rate cards, and shipment data before payment, recovering errors systematically instead of absorbing them.
