Customer stories
International freight forwarding

A mid-sized Shenzhen freight forwarder

Focused on trans-Pacific and Europe ocean FCL and LCL, moving quoting, booking, documentation and settlement online with TMS — and making per-shipment margin visible in real time.

Challenge

Quotes circulated as spreadsheets and rate versions were frequently wrong. Documents moved through email and chat, so handoffs lost files. Per-shipment cost was only known after finance closed the month, meaning loss-making jobs were discovered after the fact. Customers called sales directly for status, interrupting the team dozens of times a day.

Solution

TMS holds versioned carrier and co-loader rates with one-click quotation. Booking, loading and documentation flow through the system with full history, and LCL cost allocates automatically by volume and weight. A customer lookup portal lets clients check progress with a B/L number.

The thing that actually solved our problem was seeing margin per shipment as it happens. We used to find out which jobs lost money a month later. Now sales sees gross margin while quoting and adjusts on their own.
