The Agentic TMS Built for Freight Forwarders

Agentic TMS puts a fleet of named AI agents on your desk: reading emails, drafting quotes, filing customs entries, and closing the books. Your team steps in only for the decisions that carry real risk.

Run a Modern Forwarding Desk With an AI Agent Fleet at Your Side

A freight forwarder wins on margin and loses time on paperwork. As freight automation software, Agentic TMS reads the emails, drafts the quotes, prepares the customs filings, and matches the invoices. This freight forwarding software gives your team the decisions that need judgment and keeps them in control at every gate.

Agents, Not Just Software

Each AI agent owns one part of the operation: documents, pricing, customs, accounting, or exceptions. As a shipment moves through its lifecycle, the agents hand it off to each other automatically, so nothing waits on a person to notice it’s their turn.

Autonomy You Control

Agents recommend and prepare every action. Your team approves the moves that carry real risk, and you set how much autonomy each agent gets, per operation, on a scale from L1 to L5.

Build Trust in a Sandbox

A built-in Training sandbox and Demo mode let your team rehearse real scenarios with synthetic data before anything touches production, so the first live shipment isn’t the first time your team sees the agents work.

See it in action

Watch the Platform Run a Shipment End to End

This is the same shipment your team handles every day: an inbound Request for Quote (RFQ), a quote, a booking, a customs entry, a closed file. Watch which parts the agents run on their own, and which ones stop and wait for your approval.

A full walkthrough of Agentic TMS in action: quoting, carrier booking, customs clearance, and invoice reconciliation handled by the agent fleet, with approval gates and an audit trail built in.

Every desk, one platform

Meet the Agent Fleet Running Your Shipment Lifecycle

Seven steps, one shipment record, from the first Request for Quote (RFQ) to the closed file. One login, no swivel-chairing between systems.

Quote & Rate

Rate tables and margin targets get checked automatically, and a priced quote goes back in minutes, before the lane gets booked elsewhere.

Booking

Vessel, voyage, Verified Gross Mass (VGM), Shipping Instructions (SI), and Container Yard (CY) cutoffs all get confirmed the moment a booking goes out, over Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), so nothing depends on a carrier picking up the phone.

Export

Export declaration, Bill of Lading (B/L), and Importer Security Filing (ISF) happen at origin while drayage is already on its way, not after the container is sitting at the port waiting on paperwork.

Transit & Tracking

Demurrage and rollover risk get scored continuously off live Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) milestones. A shipment drifting toward a problem gets flagged days before a customer has to ask where it is.

Customs

Invoice and packing list data is pulled straight into an entry built for the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) and Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), pre-filled and ready. Your customs desk reviews and files; it doesn’t start from a blank form.

Inland & Delivery

Rail, drayage, and final mile get tracked through unload and Proof of Delivery (POD) capture automatically, so confirming delivery doesn’t require a phone call to the driver.

Billing & Reconciliation

Every invoice gets a three-way match against the quote and the booking before the customer is billed, so a discrepancy gets caught at close, not discovered a month later.

Orchestration Across the Agent Fleet

One layer sits above all seven steps: live Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), an autonomy slider per step, an approval inbox for every pending decision, and predicted disruptions with a mitigation already drafted. This is where a manager sees the whole shipment lifecycle, not just their own desk. Explore how it works and the L1 to L5 autonomy model.

Built for every seat

One Platform, Recomposed for Each Role

My Desk, the platform’s home screen, reshapes itself for whoever is logged in. A sales rep, an ops coordinator, your in-house customs desk, and a controller all open the same platform and see a different set of priorities.

Sales & Pricing

Every quote pulls live buy-rates and your target margin, so pricing is never a guess and every rate used is on record.

Operations

One timeline per shipment tracks Verified Gross Mass (VGM), Shipping Instructions (SI), and Container Yard (CY) cutoffs, carrier confirmations, and drayage dispatch, so nothing depends on six different inboxes.

Customs Desk

Review Harmonized System (HS) classifications, denied party screening, and entries prepped for the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) and Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) before you file, not after.

Finance & Management

Margin per file, automation rate per agent, and a three-way match audit trail, without pulling a separate report to find them.
