Master Data & Operations — Create Once, Run Everything
App Menu & Kanban — all shipments at a glance The main shipment menu gives you list, Kanban, and map views in one click. Switch to Kanban to see every active shipment as a card — stage, carrier, ETD, and customer visible without opening the form.
Sea · Road on one shipment form Single-leg or multi-leg routes — POL, POD, carrier, vessel, ETD/ETA, containers all in one place. No switching between systems.
Cargo, route — all inside the shipment Dedicated tabs for cargo details and multi-leg route configuration — everything in one form, nothing split across separate records.
One shipment → multiple bookings in seconds Stop retyping the same shipment details into separate booking forms. Generate all bookings from the shipment — carrier, schedule, containers auto-filled.
Master data — preloaded, ready to use from day one Ports, geo routes, cargo templates, HS codes, DG classes, and UN numbers are structured and reusable. Less setup time, more consistency across all shipments.
Sales Process — From Quotation to Confirmed Shipment
Confirm the sale — Shipment and project are created instantly after sale confirmation Sales closes the deal. Operations gets the task automatically — shipment pre-filled with carrier, schedule, cargo, and assigned to the right team. No email handoff, no duplicate entry.
Vessel Schedule on Quotation Search and select a sailing directly on the quotation — carrier, vessel name, voyage number, ETD, POL, POD auto-populated. On confirmation, all fields carry over to the shipment. No double entry.
Search and select a scheduled vessel directly on the quotation line — system looks up the voyage schedule and fills carrier, ETD, POL, POD automatically.
Add the vessel schedule as an optional product on the quotation — sales rep selects the schedule from a dropdown before confirming the order.
Enter origin, destination & date range — then search Fill in POL, POD, and optionally a departure date range. The system queries all available schedules matching the criteria — no need to contact each carrier separately.
All available sailings — ETD, ETA, surcharges & price in one view Results list every vessel matching the search: carrier, vessel name, voyage number, ETD, ETA, transit time, applicable surcharges, and freight price. Select the best sailing and apply it to the quotation.
Accounting — Invoicing, Collect & Disburse
Shipment charge — enter buy & sell rates on the shipment The charges tab on the shipment holds all freight cost and revenue lines — freight, surcharges, and collect amounts. These lines are the single source of truth for invoicing and profitability calculation.
Create customer invoice or vendor bill — directly from the shipment Once charges are entered, create a customer invoice or vendor bill in one click from the shipment form — no need to go to the accounting menu. Charge lines are pre-filled automatically.
- Sell-rate charge lines pre-filled from shipment
- Post and send to customer in one step
- Buy-rate charge lines pre-filled from shipment
- Linked to shipment — costs tracked in profitability sidebar
Define collection partners directly on the sales order Select who to collect from and who to disburse to right on the SO — before confirming. These partners carry over to the shipment automatically, keeping collect/disburse flows clearly separated from your own revenue.
Create invoice from shipment charges Invoice lines are pulled directly from the shipment charge tab — freight, surcharges, collect lines all pre-filled. Confirm and post to accounting in one click.
Collect from customer — register payment in accounting Collect is a payment registration in Odoo Accounting — the system matches the outstanding invoice, records the journal entry to the correct account, and marks the shipment billing status as paid automatically.
Disburse to vendor — register vendor payment in accounting Disburse is a vendor payment in Odoo Accounting — the system suggests the outstanding vendor bill, posts the payment to the correct account, and reconciles automatically. No manual journal entries needed.
LCL Consolidation — Auto-split MBL Costs
Create the consolidation shipment Create a master shipment for Sea LCL groupage and load house BLs into it. Manage MBL/HBL relationships in one place without manual spreadsheets.
- Create master shipment, load multiple HBLs
- Auto cost allocation wizard per CBM/weight
- Outturn report & deconsolidation wizard
Master shipment: all house BLs at a glance The master form lists every house loaded into it — shipper, consignee, weight/volume, and billing status in one table. Add or remove houses before cut-off without rebuilding anything.
House shipment receives charges from master Run the cost allocation wizard — the system splits MBL freight charges across each house by CBM, weight, or custom ratio. Each house shipment shows its allocated charge lines ready for invoicing. No Excel, no manual calculation.
Freight Document Management & Printing — No More Copy-Paste into Word
Document folder created automatically per shipment Every new shipment gets its own document workspace — prebuilt folders, tags, and filing rules. BL, booking confirmation, customs docs — always organized, never lost.
Print custom freight documents — HBL, MBL & more Configurable print templates for freight documents such as HBL, MBL, packing list, delivery order, and related forms. Each template pulls data directly from the shipment — no copy-paste, no Word files.
Print or email booking request to carrier Send a booking request to the carrier directly from the booking form. Carrier, vessel, voyage, ETD/ETA, container, and cargo pre-filled from shipment.
OCR & AI Document Parsing — Upload a PDF. Fields fill themselves. Your staff spends 15–20 minutes retyping one booking confirmation. OCR reads the document and populates carrier, vessel, ETD/ETA, ports, and cargo fields in seconds — then you just review and confirm.
Carrier, vessel, voyage, ETD/ETA, POL/POD, booking reference — auto-filled.
Shipper, consignee, cargo description, container number, freight terms — extracted.
Shipment Task Management — Gantt, Tasks & Timesheets
Gantt view — all shipment tasks, one timeline See every task across every active shipment on one Gantt chart. Spot overdue tasks, shift deadlines, assign team members — without leaving the screen.
Filter tasks by shipment stage Task list can be filtered by shipment stage — see only tasks at booking, in-transit, or customs stage. Assign responsibilities per leg and track progress without switching between screens.
Dashboard — Real-time Freight Insights
Dashboard — KPI freight performance at a glance Spreadsheet-powered KPI dashboards show freight revenue by route, margin per shipment, volume by transport mode, and team performance — updated in real time. No waiting for month-end reports.
Reports — shipment list with margin & billing status Built-in shipment reports show revenue, cost, margin, and billing status per shipment — filterable by route, carrier, customer, or period. Know which shipments are profitable and which are pending invoice.
Tracking Timeline & Customer Portal — Zero "Where's My Cargo?" Calls
Track every shipment milestone on a live timeline From booking confirmed to cargo delivered, each milestone is updated in one tracking flow. Delays and stalled shipments are visible immediately, so ops teams do not need to compile manual status reports.
Dashboard and map update instantly with each tracking event When your team marks a shipment as departed, arrived, customs cleared, or delivered, the tracking dashboard and map view refresh in real time. Management sees the live status of active shipments, route progress, and exceptions without asking the ops team.
Tracking timeline, map view + self-service customer portal Customers track their own cargo through the tracking timeline, interactive map view, and self-service portal. Share a portal link and they see live status, milestone history, documents, and charges at any time.

Shipment Templates — Set Up Once, Reuse Forever
