FASTFREIGHT

Our flagship product is not just another freight forwarding software product, it is a very simple to use total solution, that includes integration links to carriers, customs, accounts and clients. It is truly multimodal, managing road sea and air shipments equally well. The system delivers virtually unlimited documents and management reports provided by a pre-and post-installation support service second to none. Many of our clients started with our very basic freight forwarding software system 16 years ago and have benefited from continual upgrades ever since.

Why use the FASTFREIGHT solution

For global shipping operations FASTFREIGHT integrates every aspect of freight transportation into one easy to use system and provides extensive in-depth management reports.

Cost and Savings

All or part of our solution is highly cost-effective, if you are a smaller export orientated forwarder outsourcing your NES entries you would actually gain our solution for nothing and perhaps even make a profit. If your organisation is renting your present freight forwarding solution based on a three or four year period you could reduce your costs by as much as 70%. In this highly competitive industry with relatively small profit margins and the risk of bad debts (minimised by the Sage Link) reducing both software and human resource costs can be a most important factor in the growth or even survival of your business.

Integration

Integration is, for many of our customers is the most important advantage of our system, second only to our support.The system integrates with a Majesty's Customs and Excise NES portal, saving human resources and great financial savings if you are outsourcing your entries to a third party broker. More significant savings can be gained by utilizing IN-TOOL our unique desktop or server-based application, transferring container booking requests and shipping confirmations to all ocean carriers. This avoids mistakes, a quicker return of draft bills and the receipt of container status events into our INTRACK web based container transparency application integrated with CARGOTRACK providing secure password controlled transparency to all stakeholders of the shipment. Sales and purchase invoice data is shared without rekeying to any accounts system that will accept a CSV file. With most Sage applications the clients indebtedness and credit limit can be displayed as a job is being created along with the financial values of estimated or actual sales invoices in the system but not yet transferred to Sage.

Shipping orders can be received from our own QUOTE AND BOOK application or your client's own third party ERP system. Integration with our SALES ADDRESS BOOK (SAB) is an invaluable tool for your sales department.
If you are an export packing case and pallet manufacturer our FREIGHTPACK module can be included in your installation, FREIGHTPACK is a globally unique product.
