Forwarding management

No two shipments are the same, and every shipment needs careful planning, management and execution. With a reliable and smart forwarding management system, you can increase overall efficiency for your customers and earn a higher profit margin.

Who needs this module and how does it work?

Freight forwarders act as intermediaries for transport and customs formalities between the shipper and transport services, and keep in touch with various carriers to negotiate prices and decide on the most economical, reliable and fastest route. A forwarder's work covers all services, including domestic transport tracking, preparing shipping and export documents, warehousing, booking cargo space, agreeing freight charges, consolidating cargo, cargo insurance and filing insurance claims.

The freight forwarding module lets you manage air, sea and land cargo, the warehouse, transport and customs, and smoothly covers all the functionality of forwarding software, with CRM, billing and financial accounting in the browser, from anywhere, at any time, on any device.

The system stores the forwarding company's contracted freight rates and can automatically match the best freight rate to the conditions needed to get the job done properly. The forwarding planning module suggests recommended routes to the user based on the given criteria. The user can then assess the options and make informed choices. These choices go into the transport service provider analysis module, which picks the best option at the lowest cost. Once the choice is made, the Terra Logistics software creates the electronic cargo tracking data and cargo documents for the chosen carrier.

Software for forwarding companies

Carriers and forwarders want an easy, up-to-date and complete view of all logistics operations. The Terra Logistics freight forwarding software is built on a modular principle, which means all operations are controlled in one system.

Users can reach all the information they need in one system in real time, with a clear overview of operations and all the necessary reports. From customer inquiries to invoicing, all freight forwarding operations are recorded and shown in the forwarding management software. The Terra Logistics transport and forwarding management system gives forwarders and logistics service providers full control of their own or outsourced operations.

The Terra Logistics forwarding module keeps logistics processes running smoothly and gives a full overview of functionality and reports anywhere, at any time. Like the whole system, the module is browser-based, so the transport and forwarding management software can be reached at any time on any device.

The advantage of cloud-based forwarding management software is that suppliers and customers can easily connect to the system. This lets every party in the supply chain share price information and shipping data even faster.
