WHAT FORWARDERS NEED
The pain points your forwarding operation hits every week.
Freight forwarding looks simple on the surface — pick up the cargo, ship it, deliver it, bill it. In practice, every shipment touches 8-15 different operational steps, multiple internal teams, several external parties (shipper, consignee, carrier, port, customs, agent at destination), and at least three financial flows (cost, revenue, advance/recovery). The cost of getting any of those steps wrong is paid in real money: customs holds, demurrage charges, lost revenue, customer complaints, missed margin opportunities.
WHIZCargo was built — and re-built over 23 years — by working directly with forwarders, watching them work, and codifying the patterns. The result: a single platform where every step shares one data model, and where AI removes the manual work that doesn't add value.
ONE SHIPMENT, ONE THREAD
From the first enquiry to the settled invoice.
The quote becomes the booking, becomes the manifest, becomes the customs entry, becomes the bill — the same shipment record, no re-keying.
1 · Enquiry & Quote
Inbound enquiry, rate-card lookup, multi-option quotation and approval.
2 · Booking & Space
Carrier booking, container/space allocation, sailing & flight schedules.
3 · Documentation
HBL/MBL, AWB, manifests, packing lists, COO — from the shipment record.
4 · Customs & Manifest
EDI to customs and carriers, pre-filing, release and gate-out.
5 · Execution & Tracking
Milestones, ETA propagation, exceptions, destination-agent coordination.
6 · Billing & Settlement
Multi-currency invoicing, cost capture, supplier match, shipment P&L.
THE MODULES
Every module a forwarding operation needs.
Inquiry & Quotation
AI reads inbound inquiry emails, extracts origin/destination/commodity/timing, and drafts the quotation against your rate cards. Sales quotes in minutes.
Rate & Tariff Management
Rate cards per carrier, lane, service and validity. Spot, contract and NAC rates, surcharges (BAF, CAF, security, PSS) and tiered discounts — quotes auto-populate.
Booking & Space
Multi-carrier slot bookings via API, container allocation, slot-purchase reconciliation, sailing and flight schedule integration.
Documentation
HBL/MBL with auto-reconciliation, manifests, customs declarations, packing lists, certificates of origin, AWB — generated from the shipment record.
Customs & EDI
Native EDI to customs (CUSCAR, CUSDEC, country-specific) and carriers (COPRAR, COARRI, BAPLIE). Pre-filing reduces clearance time from hours to minutes.
Console & Co-load
LCL consolidation and co-load management: master vs house split, CBM/weight apportionment, profit share, de-consolidation at destination.
Operations & Tracking
Live tracking, vessel ETA propagation, exception management, agent coordination at destination, customer-facing tracking portal.
Warehouse & CFS
Bonded and CFS handling, cargo receipt, storage, stuffing/de-stuffing and cross-dock — linked to the shipment and billed automatically.
Billing & Disbursement
Multi-currency freight billing, per-shipment cost allocation, disbursement accounts, three-way matched supplier invoices, advance/recovery tracking.
Finance & Accounting
Integrated GL, AR/AP, bank reconciliation, branch and agent settlement, and per-shipment / per-branch P&L — or feed your existing accounting system.
EVERY FORWARDING SEGMENT
From air and ocean to project cargo, reefer and e-commerce.
One platform across every trade lane and cargo type — each with the documentation, compliance and billing rules it needs.
Air Freight
AWB/HAWB, IATA rates, ULD handling, e-AWB and airline messaging.
Sea FCL
Full-container exports and imports, carrier haulage, D&D control.
Sea LCL / Consolidation
Groupage, CFS, master/house split and destination de-consolidation.
NVOCC
Own bills of lading, SOC/COC boxes, slot buying and equipment control.
Project & Breakbulk
Out-of-gauge, RoRo, charter and heavy-lift with milestone project billing.
Reefer & Perishable
Temperature specs, cold-chain milestones and phyto/health documentation.
DG / Hazmat
IMDG/IATA DGR classes, DG declarations and segregation compliance.
Cross-trade / Triangular
Third-country shipments, switch BLs and neutral-agent documentation.
Exhibition & Fairs
ATA Carnet, temporary admission and time-critical event logistics.
E-commerce Cross-border
High-volume parcels, marketplace feeds, duty/tax and last-mile handoff.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Software for freight forwarders, answered.
What software do freight forwarders use?
Freight forwarders use specialised freight forwarding software (also called freight ERP or TMS for forwarders) that handles the full shipment lifecycle: inquiry, quotation, booking, HBL/MBL documentation, EDI manifesting to ports and carriers, customs filing, container tracking, multi-currency billing and accounting. WHIZCargo is one such platform — purpose-built for forwarders, NVOCC and consolidators across air, sea, road and multimodal freight.
How does WHIZCargo help small and mid-size freight forwarders?
Mid-market forwarders typically struggle with three things: rate management across many carriers and lanes, manifesting and EDI when they outgrow spreadsheets, and the gap between operations and finance. WHIZCargo solves all three with one data model — quotation flows directly into booking, booking flows into manifest, manifest flows into customs, customs flows into invoicing. No re-keying. AI features (email-to-quote, smart carrier selection, demurrage prediction) cut manual work by ~60%.
Can the platform handle multi-branch forwarding operations?
Yes. WHIZCargo natively supports multi-branch, multi-entity, multi-currency operations. Each branch operates independently with its own dashboards and KPIs, while the head office sees consolidated reporting across the network. Inter-branch shipments, agent-partner network integrations, and cross-branch billing are all built in.
Does it support sea, air, road and multimodal freight in one system?
Yes. One platform, one data model, all modes. A shipment can start as sea LCL, transit road to airport, fly the last leg by air — all tracked as one record from inquiry to billing. Cross-mode documentation (e.g., combined transport BL) is generated automatically.
Do you handle freight rate management?
Yes. Rate cards per carrier per lane per service type per validity period. Spot rates, contracted rates, NAC (negotiated all-in) rates, surcharges (BAF, CAF, security, peak season), and discount tiers. Quotations auto-populate from the relevant rate card; sales teams quote in minutes, not hours.
Can your forwarder software integrate with our existing accounting / ERP?
Yes. Native integrations: SAP via IDoc, Oracle/Infor/Dynamics via OAGIS BOD, QuickBooks, Xero, Tally and any other system via REST APIs, webhooks, EDI (UN/EDIFACT, ANSI X12) or flat-file. The forwarding operation can keep WHIZCargo as the operational backbone with finance flowing to the existing accounting system.
Can customers and overseas agents track shipments themselves?
Yes. WHIZCargo includes a branded customer and agent portal: shippers and consignees see live milestones, documents and invoices, while overseas agents see the shipments routed to them, upload PODs and destination charges, and reconcile back to the head office. It replaces the endless "where is my cargo?" emails and keeps the whole partner network on one source of truth.
How long does it take to deploy?
Typical mid-market deployments go live in 8-16 weeks. Configuration-driven — workflows, fields, approval rules, billing matrices and carrier integrations are configured rather than custom-coded. Larger operations with multi-country compliance can be phased.
