Calculate Quotes

The transportation costs can be easily calculated based on the established tariff agreements. Thus, the price of a new transport can be quickly (and automatically) calculated, and with just one click, the quotation can be mailed or converted directly into a transport order.

Generate transport documents

Once the shipments’ data are entered in the TMS, the required documents, such as a CMR, loading list, receipts, and manifest, are automatically generated.

Invoicing

Once the shipment has been delivered, the invoice is generated automatically in the TMS or reserved for a collective invoice. Because the shipment is linked to the quote, the administration department can check and send the invoice. Special expenses, such as waiting hours, repackaging, or booking fees, may be added.

If transport is outsourced externally, the invoice from the subcontractor can be checked thanks to the connection of the transport order with tariff agreements. Self-billing is also possible. The purchase invoice will be attached to the file via document scanning.

Import 7 export all in one solution

Handle all your road, ocean, and air freight processes with one solution. From a request for quotes to shipments, bookings, and order processing, the software generates the corresponding documentation.

Groupage
Register separate bookings per destination and link them to a container file as split consignments. The software considers the total weight and format of the split consignments. Making it a quick and easy assignment for you to compile loading lists and a container manifest.

Ocean freight
Book complete containers (Full Container Load) or consolidated containers (Less than Container Load) for your customers. Register the details necessary for the export consignment and subsequently quickly generate a booking confirmation, transport request, customs request, customs clearance document or Transit declaration, a CMR waybill, or a shipment instruction.
