Ocean Freight Is Complex. Managing It Shouldn't Be.
Ocean Freight Management Software built around the way freight forwarders work. Manage FCL, LCL, import, export, cross-trade and consolidation shipments from one connected platform — quotation, vessel booking, container tracking, documentation, billing and profitability all stay tied to the same shipment record, so every team stays aligned from booking through final delivery.

A single ocean shipment touches shipping lines, terminals, trucking partners, customs brokers, warehouses, consignees and overseas agents. Shipthis keeps all of it tied to one record.
When that coordination happens across disconnected systems, email threads, spreadsheets and messaging apps, a missed free-time reminder, a missing document, or an overlooked detention charge stops being a small issue and becomes an expensive one. Shipthis keeps every shipment connected, so sales, operations, documentation and finance all work from the same information, from booking to final delivery.
Customers stop calling to ask "where's my shipment?"
Every milestone triggers an automatic, branded update to your customer. The white-labelled portal gives them real-time tracking and document access — under your brand. Fewer inbound status calls. Better customer experience.
- On export, Shipthis carries a shipment from creation through carrier booking, cut-off management and shipping instruction generation, with milestones tracked automatically.
- On import, the same record handles arrival notices, delivery orders, and customs coordination through to final delivery, so import and export teams work in the same system, not two stitched together with spreadsheets.

LCL Consolidation and FCL Container Management, Without the Manual Reconciliation
Group shipments, track House and Master Bills of Lading, and manage the full container lifecycle from one record.
- Consolidation is where small errors compound. Shipthis groups shipments into a single consol, tracks House and Master Bills of Lading as linked records, and allocates cost accurately across every House shipment, without a side spreadsheet to keep it straight. For FCL, the same record follows the container itself, equipment, seals and movement, through to delivery.
Know Where Every Container Stands, Without Asking
Real-time visibility for your team, and a self-serve portal for your customers.
- Whether a container is waiting on booking confirmation, mid-transshipment, or awaiting customs clearance, Shipthis gives every internal team a shared operational view, no more pinging three people to find out where things stand.
- Customers get the same visibility through a branded, secure portal, so where's my container stops being an email your team has to answer.

Every Missed Charge Comes Out of Your Margin
Capture detention, demurrage, storage, trucking, documentation and handling charges before invoices go out, not after.
- Ocean freight profitability is often won or lost through operational discipline, not pricing strategy. A detention charge that isn't captured, or a trucking cost invoiced two weeks late, comes straight out of margin. Shipthis captures these charges at the shipment level as they occur, so billing reflects the full cost and margins are known immediately, not after month-end.
Build the Workflow Your Operation Actually Runs On
Customizable, no-code workflows that automate tasks, assign work, and connect every step from shipment creation to delivery.
- No two operations run the same way, so Shipthis lets you build workflows around how your team actually works, by mode, shipment type, or Incoterm, without writing a line of code.
- Tasks get assigned automatically, and documents and notifications trigger on the milestones you define, so every step stays connected instead of living in separate to-do lists and email threads.

See Performance Across Every Shipment, Not Just the One You're Looking At
Reporting on financial performance, operational efficiency, and compliance, built from the same live data as the rest of the platform.
- Most reporting in freight forwarding happens after the fact, pulled together manually once someone asks for it. Shipthis generates reports directly from live shipment data, covering margin, operational efficiency, and compliance, with customizable templates, so your team gets real-time insight instead of a monthly reconstruction of numbers.

Spend Less Time Chasing Information

Most of the time lost in ocean freight operations isn't decision-making, it's finding information that already exists somewhere, in someone's inbox or a PDF attachment. Shipthis reads incoming booking confirmations and extracts sailing schedules directly into the shipment record, organizes shipping documents as they arrive, and flags shipments approaching free-time before anyone has to notice.
Every AI action is visible and reviewable, nothing updates a shipment without an audit trail.
Shipthis supports the full realities of FCL, LCL, import, export, cross-trade and consolidation, connected across every team that touches a shipment.
Ocean freight software has to support the way your actual operation runs, not a simplified version of it. Shipthis is built around FCL, LCL, import, export, cross-trade and consolidation as real, distinct workflows, not a single generic "shipment" screen. Sales, operations, documentation, finance and customer service all work from the same shipment record, so growth means more containers processed, not more paperwork generated to keep up with them.
Implementation Built Around Freight Forwarders, Not Generic Software Rollouts
A dedicated implementation team, phased rollout, and full data migration mean your ocean freight team keeps shipping while the system comes online.
Ocean freight doesn't stop for a software rollout, so Shipthis onboarding is built around that reality. Existing shipment, customer and rate data is migrated for you, and your team is trained on the workflows they'll actually use, export, import, LCL consolidation, FCL, not a generic product tour. Most customers are fully operational within 9 weeks, with support continuing well past go-live.
