May 2025

See how Logistaas transforms everyday logistics challenges into seamless operations.


Freight forwarding is a business of coordination. Every day, professionals across the globe juggle client requests, carrier bookings, compliance documents, financial records, and performance reports, often using disconnected tools and manual processes. But what happens when all of that is unified in a single, cloud-based system? Enter Logistaas, the Transportation Management System (TMS) purpose-built for the modern freight forwarder.


Let’s walk through a typical day in the life of a freight forwarder using Logistaas.

Check Your Smart Dashboard: The First Step in the day of a Freight Forwarder



First stop: the dashboard. Fully customizable and intuitive, the Logistaas dashboard provides a real-time overview of everything that matters. You’ll see pending inquiries, shipment statuses, key financial metrics, tasks requiring follow-up, and important alerts all in one place. No more tab-hopping between apps and emails. Just one smart dashboard that keeps you focused and efficient from the first click of the day.

Managing Inquiries & Sending Offers



A new inquiry comes in, Logistaas captures it automatically. Instead of jumping to spreadsheets, you review the details directly in the system. With just a few clicks, you can generate a branded offer, pull in rates, adjust margins, and send it to the client. Every offer is tracked in one place, so you’ll always know what’s pending, accepted, canceled, or expired.

Booking Shipments & Coordinating with Carriers



Once an offer is accepted, it’s time to book. Thanks to deep integrations with over 50 global ocean carriers and 100+ airlines via INTTRA and WebCargo booking is a breeze.
