We are a nationally and internationally operating freight forwarder without our own fleet or warehouses and are looking for a comprehensive, high-performance TMS solution to handle all business transactions and meet future challenges.

The solution should meet the following requirements:

  • Transport management system for
    • Air
    • Sea
    • Road
  • Services such as customs clearance
  • Shipment system with position assignment and number range for each transport type, order placement
  • Quotation creation, cost module with storage and query options
  • Documentation - document archiving, e-mail archiving with link to the shipment system
  • Accounting module – credit limits, credit checks, invoicing, dunning, open item list, accrual recording
  • Debtors, creditors and pickup address system
  • Forwarding of shipment documents from the system via email (e.g., freight letters such as Sea HBLs, AWBs) in PDF format
  • Recording of consolidations – example: 1x MAWB (Master Air Way Bill) and 3x HAWB (House Air Way Bill) with links to each other
  • Important: Tracking interface (DAKOSY, airline tracking data, DHL Express, Ocean Inside for import and export) and retrieval and notification options within the shipment system and via email
  • ATLAS connection for customs clearance import/export
  • Detailed tax assessment notices (example: disclosure of exchange rates and total value including conversion)
  • Option for individual customization (e.g., quote view, letter/document header, logo, data field customization)
  • Very important: Support - short-term and direct contact persons, short implementation times
  • German is sufficient for the application itself, but English would be a good option, e.g., for billing purposes
  • DATEV interface
  • Web- or cloud-based if possible

Approximately eight software workstations are planned. Work will be carried out in an MS Windows system environment.

The software should have the following functions.
