Job costing
Buy and sell lines per charge, with gross margin % per job and per line.
Accounting & finance
Freight forwarding accounting that starts on the shipment, not at month-end.
Forwarding profit is decided file by file: every cost needs a matching sell line, every agent needs settling, and currencies move in between. DESTIN keeps charges, invoices and payables on the shipment record so margin is known while the job is still open.
Finance on the file
What forwarding finance needs.
Accounts receivable
Customer invoices generated from the shipment's sell lines and tracked to payment.
Accounts payable
Carrier, trucker and vendor costs recorded against the job they belong to.
Agent settlements
Overseas agent debits and credits settled with profit share visible.
Multi-currency
Charges in different currencies on one job, with the amounts that drive margin kept clear.
Closing a job
From accrual to closed file.
- 01
Accrue

- 03
Invoice

Close
Jobs close only when unbilled costs and open items are resolved.
Connections to external accounting systems and payment processors are shown as connected or not connected. Payment processing fees follow the processor's terms and are not hidden inside the subscription.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does DESTIN replace our general ledger?
DESTIN handles forwarding-specific finance — job costing, AR/AP, agent settlements and margin. Whether it feeds or replaces your general ledger is agreed during onboarding based on your accounting setup.
Can we see profit per shipment?
Yes. Every job shows buy, sell and gross margin %, and costs without a matching sell line are flagged before closeout.
Does DESTIN support multiple currencies?
Yes. A single job can carry charges in different currencies, including agent settlements.
Can customers pay invoices online?
Online payment depends on a payment connection configured for your workspace. Without one, invoices are still issued and tracked in DESTIN.
