Freight forwarding systems
Quotation, booking, documentation, tracking and billing for ocean, air and multimodal, including NVOCC and customs brokerage, on our own Xtreme Logistics Suite or a forwarding platform you already run.
Freight, fleet, customs and last mile on platforms that talk to each other. We implement and migrate transport and logistics systems across our own Xtreme Logistics Suite, Oracle Transportation Management, SAP Transportation Management and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, connect carriers and partners through EDI and APIs, and support operations around the clock.
Disconnected systems create cost you cannot see: re-keyed bookings, late invoices, disputed charges, empty kilometres. The fix is one flow from quote to invoice with partner data arriving electronically, not by email.
Logistics platforms only work when the systems on either side of them do too.
Delivered end to end or as individual services, under our CMMI Level 3 process framework and ISO 27001 certified information security.
Quotation, booking, documentation, tracking and billing for ocean, air and multimodal, including NVOCC and customs brokerage, on our own Xtreme Logistics Suite or a forwarding platform you already run.
Planning, carrier selection, tendering, freight settlement and fleet costing on Oracle Transportation Management, SAP TM, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management or our own Xtreme Logistics Suite.
Filings, duty calculation, screening and document packs tied to the freight file, on Oracle Global Trade Management, SAP Global Trade Services or the customs brokerage module of Xtreme Logistics Suite.
EDIFACT, AS2, SFTP, REST and XML connections to carriers, ports, terminals and customers, built the same way whichever ERP or TMS sits behind them, with monitoring on every interface.
Route planning against vehicle capacity, time windows and zones, using RouteCap with ORMAE.
Move ageing on-premise or custom logistics systems onto a modern platform — Xtreme Logistics Suite, Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM, SAP S/4HANA or Dynamics 365 — with data migration, interface rebuild and parallel runs.
Shipment, cost and partner data consolidated in Snowflake or on Azure, with Power BI reporting for lane, carrier and margin analysis across every source system.
Round-the-clock support for booking, EDI and billing flows on any of the platforms we implement, with interface monitoring and alerting.
Every phase ends in a documented decision and the evidence behind it — an artefact you own and can take elsewhere.
Quote-to-invoice process, partners, documents and exceptions.
Target platform, EDI and API contracts, data model and billing rules.
Configure, onboard partners, test messages end to end.
Branch or lane waves, parallel billing checks, hypercare.
24/7 interface monitoring, support and improvement.
| Platform | Best fit | Strength | Deployment | ERP integration | Watch-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xtreme Logistics Suite (ours) | Freight forwarders, NVOCC operators and customs brokers | Quotation, booking, documentation, tracking, customs brokerage and billing in one product | Cloud | Interfaces to SAP, Oracle or Dynamics finance over API and file exchange | Scope beyond forwarding and brokerage operations |
| Oracle Transportation Management | Shippers, 3PLs and logistics service providers running large multimodal networks | Long-established enterprise TMS with deep transport planning, rating and freight settlement; pairs with Oracle Global Trade Management for customs | Oracle Cloud | Native with Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM and ERP; standard integration to non-Oracle ERP | Configuration depth needs experienced people and disciplined data |
| SAP Transportation Management | Shippers standardising transport execution inside an SAP landscape | Close coupling to order, delivery and settlement data; SAP Global Trade Services for customs and trade compliance | Embedded in S/4HANA or side-by-side | Native with S/4HANA | Complexity and licensing; less suited to forwarder-style operations |
| Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management | Organisations already standardised on the Microsoft stack | Transportation management sits alongside warehouse and finance in one application, with Azure hosting and Power BI analytics | Microsoft cloud | Native with Dynamics 365 finance and operations | Transport depth is lighter than a dedicated TMS for complex ocean or multimodal networks |
| Specialist platforms | Networks needing best-of-breed optimisation or multi-carrier visibility | Focused capability — for example Blue Yonder, Manhattan, e2open, or project44 for visibility | Mostly SaaS | Interface build to whichever ERP you run | Integration and master-data effort across more systems |
Indicative guidance only — the right platform depends on your modes, volumes, existing ERP and operating model, and is confirmed in discovery. We are the product owner of Xtreme Logistics Suite and an implementation partner for the other platforms listed; we recommend by fit, not by ownership.

How AI and integrated platforms are compressing the cost-per-shipment curve — from intelligent route optimisation to predictive disruption management across global supply chains.
Dynamic routing with real-time traffic, weather, and capacity constraints reduces last-mile cost by 15–25% in dense urban environments. The model architecture and fleet integration that make it work.
More insightsDisconnected logistics systems create invisible costs — duplicate data entry, delayed billing, and poor carrier utilisation. We describe the integration architecture that eliminates the gaps.
More insightsThe organisations that recovered fastest from recent supply chain shocks had one thing in common — end-to-end visibility underpinned by integrated data. Here is the architecture that resilience requires.
More insightsThe automation wave in logistics is not a single technology — it is a convergence. We map the adoption curve, identify the use cases reaching commercial viability now, and separate signal from hype.
