A freight forwarder may manage hundreds of shipments across different customers, carriers, countries, branches, and transport modes. Each shipment generates quotations, bookings, freight documents, customs information, milestone updates, supplier costs, customer invoices, and accounting entries.
When this information is managed through separate systems, spreadsheets, emails, and applications, teams often repeat the same data entry. Operations may have one shipment status, customer service may have another, and finance may not receive the final costs on time.
Logi-Sys ERP is designed to connect these activities through one logistics-focused platform.
Logi-Sys is an intelligent, cloud-based ERP platform created by Softlink Global for freight forwarders, customs brokers, consolidators, 3PL providers, transportation companies, warehouse operators, and other logistics service providers.
Unlike a general ERP, which requires extensive customization to understand freight processes, Logi-Sys is built around logistics workflows. It combines freight operations, sales, customer service, customs compliance, transportation, warehousing, invoicing, and financial accounting in a single database. It is capable of handling air, ocean, road, and multimodal freight operations.
Its overall capabilities include:
Instead of each department maintaining its own version of the shipment, authorized teams can work with shared information.
Freight forwarding does not involve a single transaction between a shipper and a carrier. A shipment goes through several connected stages:
A delay or change in one stage can have far-reaching consequences. A revised vessel departure, for example, could affect documentation deadlines, arrival planning, customs coordination, delivery arrangements, and customer communication.
A specialized logistics ERP connects these stages, ensuring that operational changes are reflected throughout the relevant workflows. This allows freight forwarders to maintain greater control as shipment volumes, branches, customers, and service offerings increase.
The Logi-Sys workflow can start before a shipment is scheduled.
Sales teams can record the customer’s inquiry, generate a quote, and follow up on the opportunity. When the customer confirms the shipment, the necessary information can be entered into freight operations.
Operations teams can then create jobs, manage bookings, prepare freight documents, track milestones, coordinate customs activity, and arrange transportation or warehousing. Customer service representatives can use the same shipment information to provide updates.
Once operational services are completed, charges can be moved to invoicing and financial accounting.
Management can then evaluate revenue, costs, outstanding balances, and profitability. This connected lifecycle eliminates the need to duplicate customer, shipment, and charge information at each stage.
Logi-Sys manages various aspects of the logistics business using interconnected modules. Companies can customize Logi-Sys with the relevant modules to meet their service and operational requirements while keeping data connected across the platform.
The Logi-Sys Freight Forwarding module supports inbound and outbound air and ocean freight operations.
For air freight, teams can manage:
For ocean freight, the module supports:
The same operational information can support shipment documents, customer updates, billing, accounting, and reporting. Teams do not have to maintain separate job records for each department.
A completed freight job may include ocean or air freight, origin handling, customs services, transport, warehousing, documentation, and destination charges. Every applicable service must be billed accurately.
The Logi-Sys Invoicing module connects billing with freight forwarding, customs, transportation, and warehouse activities.
It supports:
Because billing is connected to operational jobs, finance teams can identify completed services that have not yet been invoiced. This helps reduce missed revenue and makes job closure more controlled.
Freight businesses need more than a standalone billing tool. They must manage customer receivables, supplier payables, cash flow, credit limits, foreign currencies, taxes, accruals, and shipment profitability.
The Logi-Sys Financial Accounting module connects financial transactions to the shipment, branch, customer, service, currency, and operational event that generated them.
It includes:
Management can analyze profitability by shipment, customer, branch, mode, service, or trade lane. This helps identify jobs with missing costs, customers with overdue payments, or services with weak margins.
Freight operations begin with a customer requirement. Before a shipment is booked, the sales team must understand the opportunity, obtain rates, prepare a quotation, and complete follow-ups.
The Logi-SysSales and CRM module helps logistics companies manage:
When a customer accepts a quotation, the relevant commercial information can move into the operational process. This improves coordination between sales and operations and helps ensure that the service delivered reflects what was quoted.
Indian customs processes involve bills of entry, shipping bills, supporting documents, classifications, taxes, duties, and electronic filing requirements.
The Logi-Sys Customs Compliance module for India supports:
Its integration with freight operations allows teams to reuse relevant shipment data during clearance. This reduces repeated entry between the forwarding job and the customs workflow.
US imports and exports require specific electronic manifest, security, and export submissions.
The Logi-Sys Customs Compliance module for the USA provides support for:
Built-in validations can help users identify incomplete or incorrect fields before transmission, reducing preventable filing errors.
Freight forwarders frequently coordinate first-mile pickup, container movement, local transport, and final delivery. These activities must remain connected to the main freight job.
The Logi-Sys Transportation Management module supports:
Mobile capabilities allow drivers and transport teams to receive job information and update trip progress from the road. Operations and customer-service teams can then access more current delivery information.
When cargo enters a warehouse, logistics providers need to know its quantity, location, condition, ownership, and next planned movement.
The Logi-Sys Warehouse Management module supports the movement of cargo from receipt to storage and dispatch.
It includes:
Warehouse information can connect with freight, transportation, and financial workflows. This allows teams to coordinate cargo movement and billing without maintaining an isolated warehouse record.
Some logistics providers manage shipments in accordance with customer purchase orders. They must keep track of what was ordered, what has been shipped, and what is still pending.
The Logi-Sys Purchase Order Management module supports:
The module is particularly relevant for buyers’ consolidation and vendor-management operations, where several orders may be combined into one freight movement.
Container Freight Stations (CFS) and Air Freight Stations (AFS) must coordinate cargo receipt, handling, storage, customs processes, consolidation, and release.
The Logi-Sys Freight Station module supports:
This brings freight-station activities into the wider logistics workflow instead of treating them as disconnected handling events.
The main advantage of Logi-Sys is not simply that it provides multiple modules. Its value comes from connecting information across sales, operations, customs, transportation, warehousing, customer service, invoicing, and accounting.
Consider an ocean import shipment:
Each team manages a different part of the shipment, but the information remains connected to the same job. This reduces repeated data entry, improves coordination, and provides clearer control from quotation through delivery, billing, and financial closure.
While these core modules manage everyday logistics activities, Logi-Sys also provides AI, analytics, automation, customer visibility, customs connectivity, and carrier connectivity services. These value-added services extend the platform beyond standard shipment processing.
Freight forwarders collect significant operational and financial data. However, that data is difficult to use when it remains scattered across reports.
LogiBRAIN is a customizable analytics and reporting tool that turns Logi-Sys data into dashboards and management insights.
It can help analyze:
Users can filter data by branch, country, transport mode, currency, transaction type, and reporting period. Drill-down functionality helps managers move from a high-level KPI to the underlying transactions.
Customers expect timely access to shipment information. Repeatedly answering status inquiries through email and telephone can consume considerable customer-service time.
LogiTRACK is a secure, self-branded portal that freight forwarders can provide to customers, consignees, agents, and overseas offices.
Authorized users can:
Customers can view authorized information because the portal is linked to Logi-Sys, eliminating the need for the operations team to manually perform the same update.
E-Sanchit requires supporting customs documents to be prepared, digitally signed, uploaded, and associated with the relevant job.
Logi-Sys E-Sanchit Automation simplifies this process through features such as:
This reduces the need to switch between separate document tools and customs portals while maintaining a more organized digital record.
Freight teams receive bills of lading, air waybills, delivery orders, invoices, packing lists, customs documents, and pre-alerts in different formats.
Manually reading these documents and entering the information into an ERP takes time and introduces transcription errors.
LogiLENS is a context-aware, self-learning AI document analyst designed for logistics documents.
It can:
LogiLENS reduces repetitive document entry, but companies should still apply appropriate review and validation controls based on document quality and operational risk.
Preparing a customs declaration is only one stage of clearance. Teams must submit it, receive acknowledgment, check the result, and respond to errors or rejections.
Direct ICEGATE integration enables customs teams to transmit filings and receive responses through a connected process.
It provides:
This reduces dependence on repeated manual portal checks and provides a clearer feedback loop for customs teams.
Special Economic Zone and Free Trade Warehousing Zone transactions involve specialized declarations and compliance requirements.
SEZ Automation supports eligible import and export processes for:
Its capabilities include relevant declaration support, shipping bills, automatic duty calculation, statutory workflows, digital-signature tools, cloud access, and operational analytics.
Businesses should verify the applicable declaration types and current government requirements during implementation, as customs rules and filing processes can change.
Freight forwarders often use multiple airline and shipping-line portals to check rates, compare schedules, make bookings, submit instructions, and track shipments.
LogiCONNECT connects Logi-Sys with air and ocean carriers.
Its functions include:
This reduces repeated portal switching and manual transfer of information between carrier websites and freight jobs. Availability may vary by carrier, route, location, and integration agreement, so companies should confirm the connections required for their trade lanes.
Logi-Sys can support:
Its value becomes particularly relevant when increasing shipment volumes, branch expansion, disconnected systems, manual reporting, delayed invoicing, or limited profitability visibility begin to affect operational control.
The required modules and configurations will depend on the company’s services, countries, branches, shipment volumes, and existing systems.
Logi-Sys ERP gives freight forwarders a connected platform for managing sales, quotations, multimodal shipments, documentation, customs, tracking, transportation, warehousing, billing, accounting, and profitability.
Its main value is not simply the number of modules available. It is the ability to connect the complete freight journey, from the first customer inquiry and quotation to shipment execution, final delivery, billing, and financial closure.
