Transport Management Software for Freight Forwarders
Coordinate carriers, manage quotations and bring shipment data together in one place. Routix gives road-focused freight forwarders quote-to-cash control without the spreadsheet patchwork.
Where freight forwarders lose time and margin
Forwarding is a coordination business. When carrier data, rates and customer agreements are scattered, every shipment becomes manual work.
Slow quote turnaround
Carrier rates and history live in mailboxes and spreadsheets, slowing down every quote you send out.
Carrier fragmentation
Each carrier uses its own templates, statuses and portals — operations spend half the day on rekeying.
No single view per shipment
Documents, milestones and costs sit in different tools, so customer service can't answer questions quickly.
Margin erosion
Surcharges, accessorials and currency adjustments are easy to miss when they aren't on one rate card.

- Cost, revenue and margin captured per shipment and customer.
KPI impact for freight forwarders
Indicative impact based on operational benchmarks. Actual results depend on baseline maturity and adoption.
A reusable tariff library and quotation module turn repeat quotes from hours into minutes.
One workflow for carrier requests, references and status updates removes inbox ping-pong.
A shared operational board lets each planner handle a higher shipment volume without losing oversight.
Every shipment shows revenue, carrier cost and extra lines in one view.

Frequently asked questions
Routix is focused on road transport today. Shipments can have multiple stops and be subcontracted across carriers, but native air and sea modes — with mode-specific data, documents and milestones — are not part of the product. Forwarders with mixed traffic typically run their road business on Routix and keep specialised systems for air and sea.
