Chartering runs on WhatsApp. Now your systems can keep up.

Kpler Chartering already turns email into structured data the moment it lands. Now WhatsApp feeds into the same workspace too.

Kpler Chartering already replaces the fragmented mess of inboxes, spreadsheets, and separate AIS tools that define the traditional chartering desk. The Tonnage List, Cargo List, and Fixtures List are built to auto-populate from the sources your desk already relies on, starting with the email parser, which reads position lists, cargo orders, and fixtures recaps the moment they land in your inbox.

But chartering has never been just an email business. It's a relationship business, and much of that relationship work, the fast back and forth with brokers, the informal update on a position, happens on WhatsApp. Kpler Chartering already turns email into structured data the moment it lands. Now WhatsApp feeds into the same workspace too.

The cost of working across two systems

When a position or fixture only exists in a WhatsApp thread, someone still has to carry it over into the tools the rest of the desk works from: retyped into the Tonnage List, re-entered as an email so the parser can catch it, or left in the thread until someone gets to it. Multiplied across every broker and every desk, that adds up, even on a platform that already automates the rest of the workflow.

Without WhatsApp-to-Kpler

• Position shared on WhatsApp: manually retyped into the Tonnage List
• Fixture confirmed in a chat thread: logged the next morning
• Vessel names and cargo details entered by hand, open to typos

With WhatsApp-to-Kpler

• Position shared on WhatsApp: parsed straight into the Tonnage List
• Fixture confirmed in a chat thread: live in the Fixtures List instantly
• Details flow through automatically, with the same accuracy as the email parser

Speed is the whole game in chartering

Chartering rewards whoever moves first. The broker who shortlists a vessel before their inbox is even open. The desk that reprices a position the moment a fixture closes elsewhere. Kpler Chartering already gives desks that edge through live AIS enrichment, R&C screening, and instant rate benchmarking, and now that edge extends to WhatsApp too, the channel where a huge share of chartering conversations already happen.

How the WhatsApp-to-Kpler integration works

1. Forward a position or fixture on WhatsApp exactly as you do today, to a colleague, a broker, or a circular list. Nothing about how you send or receive the message changes.
2. Kpler parses the message automatically, pulling out the key details the moment it lands.
3. The details feed straight into your Kpler Terminal, populating the same Tonnage List, Cargo List, and Fixtures List your email parser and AIS data already feed.
4. Your desk keeps working as usual. No new app to open, no new format to learn, and no change to how your team already shares information.

The bottom line

Kpler Chartering already brings tonnage, cargo, and fixture intelligence into one workspace. WhatsApp-to-Kpler integration closes the last major gap, turning every forwarded position and fixture into terminal-ready data, automatically, the moment it's sent, on the channel your desk already relies on.
