Many customers, not one
A forwarder TMS separates each customer's shipments, documents, rates and invoices — and keeps the portal view customer-specific.
TMS software for freight forwarders
A freight forwarding TMS built around your customers' freight.
Most TMS products are designed for shippers moving their own goods. Forwarders need something different: many customers, house and master bills, resale margin and customer-facing visibility.
Shipper TMS vs forwarder OS
Why a shipper TMS doesn't fit a forwarder.
House and master
HBL/MBL and HAWB/MAWB relationships and consolidations are first-class, not custom fields.
Buy and sell on every job
You resell transport. Every charge needs a cost, a sell and a margin, not just a freight spend.
Customs in the flow
Import readiness depends on shipment, document and importer data that already lives in the file.
Agents and partners
Overseas agents, carriers, truckers and brokers all touch the same shipment.
Customer communication
Your customers expect status, documents and invoices without calling your team.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a TMS and freight forwarding software?
The terms overlap. A shipper TMS optimizes one company's own freight spend; a forwarding TMS manages many customers' shipments, resale pricing, house/master documentation and customer billing. DESTIN is the second kind.
Does DESTIN do carrier load tendering like a shipper TMS?
DESTIN focuses on forwarding operations — quotes, bookings, shipments, documents, customs readiness, tracking and finance — rather than shipper-side load optimization.
Can we track truck and rail legs?
Yes, inland legs are part of the shipment timeline. Live telematics or rail feeds appear only where a connection is actually configured.
Does it include accounting?
DESTIN handles job costing, invoices, payables and statements per shipment. Connections to external accounting systems are shown as connected or not connected.
Is there a limit on shipments?
Plans scale by users and offices, not shipment count. Paid third-party data consumption may carry fair-use allowances.
