Independent forwarders
Replace disconnected tools with one system your whole team can learn quickly.
Freight forwarding software
Freight forwarding software that runs the whole job, not just the paperwork.
DESTIN connects every step of a forwarding file — from the first rate request to the final invoice — so your team works one shipment record instead of five spreadsheets and three inboxes.
Quote to closeout
One record from quote to closeout.
Each stage hands facts to the next, so nothing is retyped and the next action is always visible.
- 01
Quote
Build ocean, air or truck quotes from your rate library with buy, sell and gross margin visible per line.
- 02
Booking
Accepted quotes become bookings with parties, cargo and routing carried forward.
- 03
Shipment
FCL, LCL, air and truck files with HBL/MBL or HAWB/MAWB, consolidations and transport legs.
- 04
Documents
Commercial invoices, packing lists and bills are read by DESTIN AI and matched to the shipment for review.
- 05
Customs
Importer and entry facts are checked for readiness; only missing or conflicting facts ask for attention.

Tracking
Milestones normalize into one timeline with ETA changes and exceptions flagged.
- 07
Delivery
Drayage, delivery and empty return tracked as part of the same file.
- 08

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is freight forwarding software?
Software that manages a forwarder's full job lifecycle: quoting, booking, shipment operations, documents, customs, tracking, invoicing and job profit. It differs from a shipper TMS because it is built around house/master relationships and billing your own customers.
Does DESTIN handle ocean, air and truck?
Yes. Shipments support ocean FCL/LCL, air and truck legs, with HBL/MBL and HAWB/MAWB structures and consolidations.
How does DESTIN AI help day to day?
It reads incoming emails and documents, prepares drafts and summaries, and ranks what needs attention. A person reviews and confirms anything that changes records or goes to an outside party.
Is there a customer portal?
Yes. Invited customer contacts see their own shipments, documents and invoices. Costs and margins are never shown in the portal.
How is DESTIN priced?
By plan, based on users and offices, with core capabilities included. See the pricing page for current plans and onboarding.
