Companion software for freight forwarders and customs brokers
The tools around your filing system: quotes, shipment files, client status and margin.
Miami has one of the densest concentrations of forwarders and brokers in the country. Most run filing and accounting in established systems and everything else in email and spreadsheets. We build the companion tools around those systems.
§ 01Where it hurts
Problems we plan for in this industry
- Quotes rebuilt each time
- Rate sheets, surcharges and margin are assembled by hand for every quote.
- Status requests
- Clients email and call for milestones that already sit in a carrier portal.
- Margin found after the fact
- Cost and revenue per shipment are reconciled at month end.
- Documents by email
- Each shipment's documents are spread across inboxes and folders.
§ 02What we build
What a project usually includes
Your project includes only the parts that pay off for you.
- Quote builder from your rate tables, surcharges and margin rules
- A shipment file with documents, milestones and notes in one place
- Client portal with tracking and document access
- Margin per file from estimated and actual cost
- Integrations to carriers and your accounting package
§ 03Details that matter here
Details that matter in this industry
