What Is a Freight Management System?

A freight management system centralizes international shipping by enabling shippers and forwarders to search rates, execute online freight bookings, track active cargo, and manage carrier performance within a unified platform instead of juggling emails and spreadsheets.

While a traditional Transportation Management System (TMS) handles complex domestic fleet routing and billing audits, a freight management system focuses specifically on global ocean, air, and multimodal execution. Unlike a standalone freight rate management system, that only stores pricing and tenders, a freight management platform powers the booking, tracking, and contract execution that happens after the rate is agreed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Freightos Enterprise integrate with my existing systems?
Yes! Our freight management software integrates seamlessly with ERP and TMS systems via API, ensuring a smooth workflow and eliminating the need for manual data entry.
How long does onboarding take?
Given our out-of-box integration with existing logistics providers, access to your logistics service providers can be quite simple. Rollout for more straightforward implementations can be as fast as a few weeks, while ERP integrations or extensive workflows can increase the scope.
What is a freight management system?
A freight management system is the software that enables enterprise shippers and LSPs to search live rates, execute online freight booking, track shipments, and manage multi-carrier shipping execution. It replaces manual emails and spreadsheets with automated booking and visibility workflows.
What’s the difference between a freight management system and a TMS?
A freight management system focuses specifically on global cross-border execution, live rate access, and carrier booking, whereas a Transportation Management System (TMS) typically manages domestic road routing, dispatching, and complex billing reconciliation. A freight management platform complements your existing TMS by adding direct carrier connectivity and real-time shipment tracking software.
Can both shippers and freight forwarders use it?
Yes, our freight management system is built for both enterprise shippers and global freight forwarders. Shippers use the platform to execute online freight booking against negotiated contract rates and track active shipments, while forwarders leverage it to distribute rates, quote customers, and manage multi-carrier bookings in one interface.
How does booking against contract rates work?
Your negotiated carrier agreements loads directly into the platform, shown alongside live market capacity. That means your team can compare, book, and stay within contract terms in one workflow, no cross-checking a separate rate sheet before confirming a booking.
What shipment tracking and visibility is included?
Our shipment tracking software includes real-time milestone monitoring, automated exception alerts, and document management across 55+ ocean and air carriers, so you see delays and disruptions as they happen instead of finding out after the fact.
