The part between the sale and the invoice.

Freight connects the customer order, the purchase orders behind it, the shipments and both sides of the money — so nothing lives in a spreadsheet nobody else can read.

Freight is a shipping and order-fulfilment record for traders and distributors who buy goods to fulfil a customer order. One sales order sits above its supplier purchase orders; each purchase order produces shipments; shipments can be booked with a third-party forwarder who bills you. Freight holds that whole chain, and the money moving in both directions, as one connected record.

The sales order

Six tabs — overview, purchase orders, shipments, payments, documents, activity — with an accordion for every supplier order underneath. What the customer pays and what the goods cost are separate figures never derived from each other, so the margin on the page is a fact the business stated, not an estimate.

Purchase orders, shipments and forwarders

Purchase orders always belong to a sales order, with vendor autocomplete and a last-order lookup per vendor. Due dates fill themselves in from the payment term’s day count; a date picked by hand always wins. Shipments carry status, dates and multiple bill-of-lading numbers. A master list of shipping companies holds their bookings, their invoices and your payments against them.

The money, on both sides

Outstanding, overdue and — unusually — overpaid, for vendors and for customers. A balance that clamps at zero hides the surplus; Freight reports it. Payment terms are a list you maintain, and every payment sits on the order it belongs to.

Fields you can reshape

Every field on orders, purchase orders, shipments, bills of lading and forwarder bookings can be switched off, renamed, changed between text, number, date and dropdown, or pointed at your own list — without code. The activity log records only what changed, as "Payment terms: Net 30 → Net 45", using your own field names. Documents attach privately and are released only to someone the system has checked.

The difference

An order is finished when a person says so.

Can we make it match our process?

Yes, without a developer. Every field on sales orders, purchase orders, shipments, bills of lading and forwarder bookings can be switched off, renamed, retyped or pointed at a list you maintain. Only the handful of fields that hold the chain together stay fixed.

What if we ship from stock rather than buying to order?

That is one of the three ways to start an order. Choose "From stock" and Freight creates the shipment straight away with no purchase order behind it. Or choose "Add purchase orders later" to record the order now and decide the buying afterwards.

Can it track the shipment for us automatically?

No. Freight is a system of record, not a tracking service. Statuses, departure and arrival dates and bill-of-lading numbers are entered by your team.

Who gets told when something happens?

You name one or two logistics people, who receive the email when a sales order is created — worded to match what was actually created. Inside the tool, sixteen kinds of event raise a notification: when logistics change something everyone else is told, and when anyone else does, logistics are told.

Can we get the data out as a report?

Not today. Freight has a dashboard and searchable, filterable lists, but no report builder, export or PDF. If reporting matters to you, say so.
