Last updated:
What is Cargo & Freight Forwarding ERP?
Cargo & Freight Forwarding ERP from POS Emirates manages a shipment from booking to delivery: creating the job file, generating and storing the bill of lading and customs documents, consolidating cargo into containers, billing the customer in the currency they expect and paying agent commissions correctly.
It is built for UAE freight forwarders and customs brokers who move cargo through Jebel Ali, Khalifa Port, Dubai Airport Free Zone and land borders, and who need every job's documents, cost and margin visible in one file rather than scattered across email and Excel.
Who is it for?
Cargo ERP is built for UAE logistics businesses handling international shipments:
- Freight forwarders managing air, sea and land shipments
- Customs brokers and clearing agents
- Consolidators and NVOCCs (non-vessel operating common carriers)
- Import/export companies running their own logistics desk

Freight forwarding software built for UAE trade lanes
The UAE moves an enormous volume of air, sea and land cargo through Jebel Ali, Khalifa Port, Dubai Airport Free Zone and its land borders, and a forwarder's reputation rests on documents being right the first time and shipments being visible at every stage. Cargo & Freight Forwarding ERP from POS Emirates gives every shipment one job file instead of a scattered mix of email threads and spreadsheets.
Key capabilities
One file per shipment
From the moment a booking is confirmed, the job file holds cargo description, weight and volume, mode and route, all related documents, every cost incurred and the customer invoice — visible to sales, operations and finance without chasing anyone for an update.
Documents generated correctly
- Bills of lading, sea waybills and air waybills
- Packing lists and certificates of origin
- Customs declarations formatted for UAE clearance
- Delivery orders and proof of delivery
Consolidation and container management
Group multiple clients' cargo into a single container or consolidation, with freight and handling cost automatically allocated back to each shipment by weight, volume or a fixed method you choose — removing the manual spreadsheet most forwarders still use for this.
Billing that matches how your clients pay
Quote and invoice in AED, USD or other currencies with live exchange-rate conversion, and calculate agent commission owed to overseas partners automatically per shipment, so nothing is missed at month-end reconciliation.
Status your customers can trust
Each shipment moves through booking, in-transit, customs clearance and delivered milestones, giving your operations team — and, on Enterprise plans, your customers through a self-service portal — a single source of truth instead of a phone call.
Profitability, not just activity
Because freight cost, customs charges, handling and commission are captured against the shipment as they happen, margin per job is visible while the shipment is still open, not discovered as a surprise weeks later during reconciliation.
Getting started
Onboarding includes importing your current client list, standard rates and document templates, and connecting the system to your accounting software. POS Emirates trains your operations and finance teams and provides ongoing support by WhatsApp, phone and email.
