Freight & Customs add-on

Freight & customs software for PNG forwarders & importers

Freight forwarders, customs brokers and importers need the same three things: every shipment tracked, every cost captured and every charge billed. The Freight & Customs add-on keeps shipments, clearance costs and client billing in the same system as your accounts, and gives importers true landed cost on every item. It suits PNG forwarders and importers bringing cargo through Lae and Port Moresby, with costs and charges in kina.

What it does

Every shipment, every cost, every charge

Shipments sit beside your stock, purchasing and debtors, so nothing is retyped between systems.

Shipment files

Sea and air shipments with vessel, bill of lading, containers and ETA, and a status for every stage.

Customs & clearance costs

Duty, clearance, port and cartage costs recorded against the shipment as they come in.

True landed cost

For importers, freight, duty, insurance and clearance are spread into each item's cost, so margins are real.

Bill the client

Charges for each shipment invoiced to the client from the shipment file.

Profit per shipment

Revenue against costs on every shipment, client and route.

Works with Logistics

Hand delivery over to consignments, trips and proof of delivery in the Logistics module.

FAQ

Freight & customs in PNG: common questions

Is it for forwarders or importers?
Both. Forwarders and customs brokers use shipment files, cost capture and client billing; importers use the same files to spread freight, duty and clearance into the landed cost of their stock.

Freight & Customs covers international shipments, clearance and landed cost. Logistics covers local delivery: consignments, trips, drivers and proof of delivery. Many businesses use both.
