MULTIFREIGHT PORTAL: The Most functional windows-based freight package available today

The MultiFreight system provides support for key business functions and combines this with specialist functions required by different types of freight-forwarding.

All system functions use the same system-wide, corporate data held within the MultiFreight database. Changes made within one area of the system are automatically and immediately available to all other functions in the system and therefore instantly available to any user no matter where they are located or what function(s) they are using. You do not need to maintain separate data for the different functions, so your data can always be up to date and synchronised across your organisation.

MultiFreight reduces the risk of errors because data needs to be entered into the system only once. In many instances, data can be collected automatically from external sources, which further reduces possible mistakes.

Using MultiFreight, you will be able to automate many routine tasks. This allows you not only to improve accuracy, but also to do these jobs more quickly therefore making your operation more efficient. These efficiencies could mean cost savings for you, while your customers will perceive this increased efficiency as an improvement in service and enhanced customer care. This in turn will set you apart from your competitors and help you to win and retain more customers
