Freight Shipper
Coordinate the shipment from requirement to cost review.
Shipper is designed around the customer purchasing transportation services. It brings shipment planning, freight procurement, provider records, documentation, cost visibility and reporting into one operational conversation.
It is distinct from Carrier, which focuses on transportation execution and fleet operations, and Broker, which focuses on coordinating freight between customers and carriers.
Operational workflow
From shipping requirement to management reporting.
Scope and final functionality are confirmed with VMS. Tracking is presented as operational visibility and does not imply live GPS or automatic third-party integrations.
01
Requirement and procurement
Shipping requirement, RFx activity, freight rate comparison and quotation approvals.
02
Booking and documentation
Carrier selection, shipment booking, instructions, BOLs, packing lists and attachments.
03
Movement and delivery
Pickup and delivery milestones, status history, exceptions and delivery confirmation.
04
Cost and reporting
Freight charges, invoices, cost allocation, spend visibility and operational KPIs.
