Every leg has its own system
Air, ocean and road legs are managed in different tools, so the whole journey is nobody's view.
Expansion · discovery
One shipment record.
More than one mode.
Air cargo is a discovery area, not a shipped module. If you move freight across modes, we will scope where a shared shipment record, chargeable-weight logic and document handoffs would help.

Air cargo & multimodal
Built around the handoffs that matter.
Explore how a shared shipment record could span air, ocean and ground legs. Start with a clear scope, a named owner for each workflow and representative test cases.
- A shared shipment record across air, ocean and ground legs
- Chargeable-weight logic (actual vs volumetric)
- Milestone tracking and customer visibility
- Document handoffs between legs
- Partner and carrier data requirements
- Accounting and billing mapping

Air-cargo operating capabilities are a discovery and expansion direction, not a deployed module.
Sound familiar?
The problems this operation
usually starts with.
Handoffs between legs lose information
Documents and references are re-typed at each handoff, and details get dropped.
Chargeable weight is calculated by hand
Actual and volumetric weights are worked out per shipment, and mistakes change the price.
Customers ask for one status
They want a single answer for a multi-leg shipment, and getting it means calling three parties.
Documents differ by mode
Each mode wants different paperwork, and keeping the set consistent is manual.
Billing spans several legs
Costs from several providers have to be brought together into one invoice.
How it works
How a multimodal shipment could flow.
This describes a direction we would explore with you, not a shipped module. Ocean, ground and ferry workflows exist today; air cargo is a discovery area.
-
1
Quote across legs
Price a journey that combines modes, using chargeable weight where it applies.
-
2
Book each leg
Create the booking for each leg from the same shipment, with the carriers and partners involved.
-
3
Hand off documents
Carry references and documents from one leg to the next instead of re-keying them.
-
4
Track milestones
Bring milestones from each leg onto one record, so the customer has a single status.
-
5
Deliver
Confirm delivery with proof, including a signature captured on a driver's phone.
-
6
Bill
Combine the legs into one invoice and sync it to your accounting system.
What you get
The capabilities behind
each step.
Configured around your routes, cargo categories, approval rules and paperwork. Scope and availability are confirmed with you before rollout.
01Directions we would scope with you
A shared shipment record
One reference and one history across air, ocean and ground legs.
Chargeable-weight logic
Compare actual and volumetric weight using the divisors your carriers publish.
Milestone tracking
Collect status from each leg and present it as one journey.
Document handoffs
Keep references and documents consistent from one leg to the next.
Partner and carrier data
Define what each partner can send, how it is authorised and how failures are handled.
Customer visibility
Give customers one place to see their shipment across legs.
Accounting and billing mapping
Bring costs and charges from several legs into a single invoice.
Ground and ocean workflows that exist today
Drayage, ocean and ferry modules can already carry the non-air legs.
Every team, one record
What changes for the
people doing the work.
Sales and pricing
- A clear route to quote several modes

- Fewer re-keyed references
- Milestones from each leg in one place
Customer service
- One answer to "where is it?"
- Documents in one place
- Fewer calls between parties
Finance
- Legs brought together for billing
- Fewer manual reconciliations
- Sync to your accounting system
Modules in play
The parts of the platform
this operation leans on.
Keep your systems
Connects to what
you already run.
Nothing here assumes you replace everything. We identify your systems of record first, then decide what to connect, configure or keep.
- Carrier and airline data, subject to their access and terms
- Trading partners (EDI or API)
- Accounting and ERP
- Customs and regulatory filings
- Customer portal and notifications
Connections are agreed and tested for each implementation. See integration pathways.
Getting started
A sensible first phase.
Because this is a discovery area, the first phase is a conversation, not a rollout.
Describe a real journey
Walk through a multimodal shipment you handled recently, from request to invoice.
Separate what exists from what is new
We map each step to what the platform already does and what would need to be built or connected.
Decide whether to pilot
If it makes sense, agree a small, measurable pilot with clear acceptance criteria.
Questions
Common questions
Is air cargo available today?
No. This page describes a discovery direction. We would map your requirements first and be clear about what exists and what would be built.
What does exist today?
Ocean, drayage and ferry workflows, accounting sync and partner communication exist today and can carry the non-air legs of a shipment.
Can you connect to airline or carrier systems?
That depends on each party's data access, authorization and commercial terms. We confirm them before promising a connection.
How is chargeable weight handled?
The logic itself is straightforward: the greater of actual and volumetric weight. The divisors depend on the carrier, so they are configured from the rate sheets you use. Our free dimensional-weight calculator shows the arithmetic.
Why would we talk to you now?
If you coordinate several modes, an early conversation lets us understand your requirements and shapes what we build. There is no obligation, and we will be clear about what is and is not available.
Your operation has enough moving parts.
Your technology shouldn’t add more.
Let’s map the workflow, find the friction and build the right connection.
