The Caribbean Association of Customs Brokers (CACUB) Biennial Conference 2025 in Miami brought together brokers, logistics providers, and trade leaders from across the region to talk about where Caribbean trade is heading — bonded warehouses, express shipping, security, and technology, all areas that shape how brokers work every day.
For us, it was a chance to do two things at once: put our commercial flagship, Broker Genius, in front of the people who actually use it, and listen closely to the operators and port authorities who move trade through the region. Evoluut is an AI software studio based in Anguilla — home of .ai — and Broker Genius is one of our two flagship platforms. Getting it into the room with working brokers is worth more to us than any amount of marketing.
The AI shift
Evoluut co-founder Lynn Morancie opened with a talk on The AI Shift — the practical value of artificial intelligence in driving automation, cutting errors, and supporting better decisions. The focus was less on hype and more on what the technology does on an ordinary working day, and where the Caribbean can strengthen its competitiveness by adopting it deliberately rather than waiting. The session also walked through everyday tools brokers can put to work right now.
Broker Genius, live
Co-founder Wilson Jno Baptiste followed with a live demonstration of Broker Genius, taking the audience through the full pipeline: extracting line data from a commercial invoice, auto-assigning HS codes from the destination country's own tariff book, grouping similar items, and generating ASYCUDA-compliant XML ready to import. The point of the demo was simple — show how a broker can handle more declarations, with fewer errors, without adding staff.
That isn't a claim we make lightly. In production use, Broker Genius has delivered a 90% reduction in entry errors and a 40% productivity boost. The results are measured, not marketed — and demonstrating them in front of the brokers who'll judge them is exactly the test we want.
Inside PortMiami
The conference also included a tour of PortMiami, led by Stanley Rigaud, Head of Intermodal Cargo Development, and Eric Borrazas, Cargo Coordinator in Global Trade & Business Development. They gave an in-depth look at the import and export flows between the Caribbean and the United States — the volume, the equipment, and the coordination behind every container that crosses the dock.
Delegates also explored the role of Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs) in Miami-Dade County, which open new ways for brokers to streamline logistics and connect regional trade to global supply chains. Seeing these operations firsthand was a useful reminder of something we build around: every declaration is one link in a much larger port ecosystem, and software that removes friction at the entry stage helps the whole chain move faster.
What we took home
CACUB 2025 was a genuinely valuable few days — to teach, to learn, and to gain perspective on the challenges and opportunities shaping trade in our region. From the conversations on technology and compliance to standing on the dock at PortMiami, we left with a clearer view of the road ahead and a deeper appreciation for the role brokers play in keeping Caribbean trade moving.
That perspective goes straight back into the product. It's the reason we build the way we do at Evoluut: practical systems, grounded in the region, that ship and hold up in the field.
