Who needs this module and how does it work?

Freight forwarders mediate transportation and customs formalities between the shipper and transportation services, maintaining connections with various carriers to negotiate prices and decide on the most economical, reliable, and quickest route. The job of a freight forwarder encompasses all services, including tracking of domestic transport, preparation of transportation and export documents, warehousing, cargo space reservations, coordination of freight transport charges, cargo consolidation, cargo insurance, and handling insurance claims.

The cargo forwarding module allows for the management of air, sea, and land freight, warehouses, transportation, customs, and seamlessly covers the entire functionality of the forwarding program with CRM, billing, and financial accounting in a browser from anywhere and on any device.

The system retains contractual cargo transport tariffs for the forwarding company and can automatically adjust the best transportation rate based on the conditions necessary for satisfactory performance. The planning module of forwarding offers users recommended routes based on specified criteria. The user can then evaluate the options and make informed choices. These informed choices are fed into the transportation service provider analysis module, which selects the best option with minimal costs. Upon making a selection, the Terra Logistics software generates electronic cargo tracking data and cargo documents for the chosen carrier.
