The work is buried in email
Booking confirmations, arrival notices, rate replies and exceptions all arrive as threads and attachments. Nothing is structured; everything needs a human to read it first.
Freightflow captures the booking, tracks the box, reconciles the bill and files your GST e-invoice — one system, from quote to cash. Your team stops re-typing PDFs and starts orchestrating shipments.

Reads booking confirmations & bills from the lines and ports you already work with
Freight forwarding runs on paperwork that shows up unstructured and out of order. Most teams spend more time re-entering it than deciding what to do about it.
Booking confirmations, arrival notices, rate replies and exceptions all arrive as threads and attachments. Nothing is structured; everything needs a human to read it first.
Bills of lading, carrier invoices and ICD vendor bills are keyed into your system field by field — slow, error-prone, and impossible to reconcile at volume.
Free-day windows run down toward demurrage, and GST e-invoice deadlines loom — whether or not someone got to the paperwork in time. Missed windows cost real money.
One pipeline turns every inbound document into a structured, validated record — then acts on it. Here is exactly what happens between the email landing and the work being done.
Emails, PDFs and attachments captured the moment they arrive.
Vision, OCR and language models read every carrier layout.
Booking, ports, equipment, charges and dates pulled into fields.
Checked against your masters, tariffs and SOPs — with a confidence score.
Bookings created, bills reconciled, GST e-invoices filed.
every value scored before it's trusted
a document is read and structured on arrival
no one retypes a PDF again
Every capability below runs on real operations data in a single, tenant-isolated platform. No bolt-ons, no swivel-chair between tools.
Generate invoices and Bilti, file GST e-invoices (IRN) through the GSP, and issue credit/debit notes — with reverse-charge detection and detention/demurrage charges calculated for you.
Booking confirmations become structured bookings: booking number, vessel/voyage, POL/POD, ETAs and container details — with multi-leg transshipment handled and master data resolved automatically.
Shipping-line and ICD vendor bills are extracted line by line and compared to your agreed tariffs, flagging over-, under- and tax-mismatched charges before you pay.
Connect your mailbox over IMAP or Microsoft 365. Admin-set sender rules turn carrier and vendor emails into bookings and bills, hands-free — with each record stamped to its source email.
A dedicated AI service reads text-based and scanned documents with vision, OCR and language models, applies carrier-specific rules, and returns a confidence score for every field.
Free-day clocks run per container, and alerts fire on ETA shifts, idle containers and ageing at port — routed through escalation rules so nothing slips past a deadline.
Bills of lading, invoices and checklists live in one place, versioned and linked to the shipment — so the right document is one search away, not one inbox away.
The full invoice lifecycle — draft, approved, registered — plus payments, credit control and journal sync to Tally, so operations and accounts finally share one set of numbers.
Every shipping-line and ICD vendor bill is read line by line and matched against the tariff you actually agreed — resolving slab days per service and flagging anything over, under or mis-taxed beyond your threshold. You approve exceptions, not entire invoices.
Free-day clocks run per container from gate-in, using the right free days from the assignment, voyage, line or customer default. As detention approaches, alerts fire and escalate through your rules — so a missed window is a decision, never an accident.
Your data is protected by controls that are part of the product, not add-ons — isolation, encryption, access control and a complete audit trail, working the same way for every customer.
Every record belongs to exactly one tenant, and that context travels with each request end to end — so one customer's data can never touch another's.
GST, e-invoice and portal secrets are encrypted at rest and are never returned to the browser — only whether a credential is set.
Every connection is served over TLS, so data moving between your browser, our services and your integrations stays protected end to end.
Dynamic roles and permissions gate every action. People see and do only what their role allows, and changes take effect immediately.
Token-based authentication with hashed passwords, and a separate, scoped door for customer portals kept apart from operations.
Change logs, financial audit logs, document versions and every GST IRN request and response are recorded for review.
