Our freight quote calculators are custom-built to match your specific pricing models and business rules. We can implement various calculation methods based on weight, dimensions, distance, service level, and special handling requirements. The calculator can include features like dimensional weight calculations, fuel surcharges, insurance options, and accessorial charges. For companies with complex pricing structures, we can create multi-step calculators that guide users through the process or implement API connections to your existing rate engines. The system can be configured to either provide instant quotes or submit detailed quote requests to your team for review.
Yes, our Global Logistics package includes integration with popular Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms like Descartes, Mercurygate, SAP TM, Oracle Transportation Management, and others. This integration allows for seamless data flow between your website and operational systems, enabling features like real-time rate quoting, automated booking, shipment status updates, and document management. We can work with both cloud-based and on-premises systems, and our team has experience with RESTful APIs, SOAP, EDI, and other integration methods. For custom or legacy systems, we'll evaluate integration options during our discovery phase.
We implement multi-carrier tracking solutions that provide a unified tracking experience for your customers, regardless of which carrier is handling their shipment. This can be achieved through direct API integrations with major carriers (like FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.), integration with tracking aggregation services, or by creating a custom tracking interface that connects to your TMS. The tracking system can display detailed shipment status, estimated delivery dates, proof of delivery, and exception alerts. For freight forwarders and 3PLs managing complex multi-leg shipments, we can implement milestone-based tracking that shows the entire journey from origin to destination, including transshipment points and customs clearance status.

Our client portals for logistics companies can include a comprehensive suite of features tailored to your business needs. These typically include shipment booking and management, real-time tracking, document storage and retrieval, invoice viewing and payment, reporting and analytics, and communication tools.

For international shipments, we can add features like customs documentation preparation, compliance checks, and duty/tax calculators.
We implement comprehensive multi-language solutions that go beyond simple translation. Our approach includes building a website architecture that supports multiple languages from the ground up, with proper URL structures, language detection, and content management. We can implement language switching that preserves the user's current page and context, and ensure that all dynamic content (like tracking information, quotes, and forms) is properly translated. The system can be set up with either automatic translation (with human review) or manual translation workflows. We also consider regional differences in shipping terminology, measurement systems, and currency formats to ensure a truly localized experience for your international clients.
Yes, we specialize in creating document management systems tailored to the complex needs of logistics companies. These systems can handle all types of shipping documents, including bills of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, dangerous goods declarations, and customs forms. Features can include document templates with auto-fill capabilities, electronic signature collection, version control, approval workflows, and automated document generation based on shipment details. The system can be integrated with your TMS/ERP for seamless data flow and can include OCR (Optical Character Recognition) capabilities for digitizing paper documents.
