Inquiry to invoice. One record.
One ocean job can involve a customer, an overseas agent, a carrier, a trucker, a customs broker and a terminal. Freight Operations puts the whole job on one Odoo record: quote, operation, fees, invoice and vendor bills, so the margin is visible while you can still act on it.
Forwarders rarely lose money on the jobs they know are thin.
They lose it on the fee that was never billed, the agent invoice that landed after the file closed, and the quotation priced off a stale tariff. Same root cause every time: each desk keeps its own version of the job.
Quoting by hand
Rates live in inboxes and spreadsheet tabs, so quotations go out slowly, and sometimes off last season's buy rate.
No single source of truth
Sales, pricing, operations and finance each keep their own copy of the file. "Where is my cargo?" means reconstructing the answer.
Margin found too late
Gross profit is worked out after the job closes. By then the rate has been honored and the fee can't be recovered.
Fees that never reach an invoice
Detention, storage, amendment fees and agent commission are agreed in email and forgotten at billing time.
Documentation errors
A bill of lading retyped from a spreadsheet is a claim waiting to happen: wrong party, wrong release term, a missed deadline.
Accounting as an afterthought
Operational data is exported and re-keyed into a separate ledger. Month-end is slow, and multi-currency jobs become an argument.
Reporting nobody trusts
Which lane earns? Which agent underperforms? Answering takes a week, and the answer is then disputed.
Every job, whatever the mode, through the same tracked sequence.
Each step hands its data to the next, so nothing is entered twice and nothing is lost between desks.
Inquiry
Rate requests go to the agents and carriers on the lane; replies land on the job.
