Does ERPTotal support both freight forwarding and own-fleet transport?

Yes. Forwarding jobs track carrier and agent costs, while own-fleet trips carry driver, fuel and maintenance costs — and a single job can use both.

Can we see profit on a shipment before the carrier invoice arrives?

Job costing records estimated costs at booking, so provisional margin is visible immediately and updates as actual invoices are matched.

Are customs and shipping documents generated from the system?

Bills of lading, air waybills, manifests, packing lists and customs paperwork are generated from the job file, so data is entered once.

Every consignment costed, documented and delivered

Cargo & Logistics ERP

Cargo margins are made and lost per shipment. ERPTotal ties bookings, carrier costs, customs paperwork, fleet trips and customer invoicing to a single job file, so profitability is visible before the shipment lands.

The problem

What usually goes wrong in cargo & logistics operations

Job profitability is calculated manually, long after delivery
Carrier invoices arrive weeks later and no longer match the quote
Documentation is scattered across email, so audits are painful
Fleet running costs are not attributed to the trips that caused them
