Access new cargo. Manage your transporter network digitally. Monitor demurrage before it costs you. Give clients a tracking link instead of a voice note.
Unlike platforms built to cut out the middleman, Logistics & Beyond treats freight forwarders as essential partners. Your relationships, your network, your expertise — now with the digital tools to make all of it more efficient and more profitable.
Most forwarders wear two hats. Sometimes you're bidding on new cargo from shippers you haven't met. Sometimes you're managing an existing client's shipment from end to end. Now you can do both, from the same dashboard.
Shippers post orders daily. You receive instant notifications on routes that match your expertise. Bid once, let the platform handle comparison.
The platform alerts you when a shipper posts cargo matching your corridors and cargo types.
Enter your rate, transit time, and included services. Full-service or transport-leg-only bids supported.
Assign your transporters, track the shipment, generate documents, and share a tracking link with the shipper.
Every completed shipment adds to your public profile — rated by the shipper, visible to future clients.
Create private shipment orders for your existing clients. Assign your transporters directly. No marketplace bidding required — this is your private operating hub.
Enter shipment details, cargo specs, route, and negotiated rate. The order is invisible to the marketplace.
Pick from your private transporter list. No bidding round. Set the rate you've negotiated and assign directly.
Multiple containers under one B/L? Assign each independently to different transporters with different routes and timing.
Share a branded tracking URL with your client. They see live status. You stop answering "Utafika lini?"
Purpose-built for how East African freight forwarders actually work — not adapted from a global platform.
Switch between Marketplace Bidder and Freight Manager at any time. Most forwarders use both — the platform handles it seamlessly.
Manage multiple containers under a single Bill of Lading. Assign each container to a different transporter with independent routes and timing.
Colour-coded alerts (green / yellow / red) for every container's free period. Daily emails before deadlines. Estimated cost calculations automatically.
Assign transporters from your private network without a bidding round. Set your negotiated rate. Add new transporters to your network from the dashboard.
Professional PDFs for Shipping Instructions, Delivery Orders, Waybills, and Proof of Delivery — generated in seconds with your company branding.
Upload photos of completed projects with categories, tags, and descriptions. A lightbox gallery on your public profile — your best marketing asset.
Transporters capture GPS coordinates, a recipient signature, and delivery photos when confirming delivery. Disputes become straightforward.
Existing forwarders can be pre-imported and sent a claim link. One click, set a password, and your profile is live — no registration forms.
Track bid win rates, margin per corridor, delivery performance, and transporter reliability. Data that proves your value to clients and management.
A single container sitting one day past free time can cost $200–$500. Multiply that across a month's shipments and you're bleeding thousands. The platform tracks every container's free period and alerts you before it's too late.
Stop spending hours generating documents manually. Every document your operation needs is generated automatically from the shipment data already in the system.
All documents generated as professional PDFs. GPS-verified PODs include GPS coordinates, recipient signature, and delivery photos captured by the transporter at the point of delivery.
Use one, the other, or both — the platform supports however your business is structured.
