Descripción general
Freight Forwarder Management organizes freight forwarding operations around a structured 10-step shipment workflow, from draft creation to final closure.

- Benefit from a structured multi-stage shipment workflow, featuring validation checks at every status change to ensure data accuracy, consistency, and completeness throughout the entire shipment lifecycle.
¿Qué es?
Today, managing a shipment often means juggling multiple tools: one spreadsheet for routing, one email thread for cargo details, and another for invoicing. Freight Forwarder Management brings everything together in a single workspace, making Odoo the central hub for every shipment, from booking to billing. Your operations team no longer has to enter the same information in multiple places. Invoices are generated directly from recorded charges, eliminating manual re-entry and reducing errors. On the customer side, there is no need to call for status updates. Customers can track their shipments independently through a dedicated portal. The result is less time spent searching for information and more time focused on moving shipments forward.
Principales beneficios:
- Complete visibility across every shipment: Instantly see the status of any shipment, from carrier booking to final delivery, without switching between multiple screens, files, or systems.
- Real-time profitability tracking: Revenue, costs, and margins are calculated automatically for each shipment, eliminating the need for manual spreadsheet updates.
- Self-service shipment tracking for customers: A secure customer portal provides real-time shipment status updates, with no account creation or phone calls required.
