Shipthis

Shipthis is freight forwarding software covering operations across all transport modes, published as distinct modules including tariff and rate management, quotation, freight accounting, warehouse management, a customer engagement portal and customer relationship management.

Publishing per-module pricing is rare in this category and it changes how a forwarder can approach the purchase. Freight software is normally quoted as a whole after a discovery process, which means a small forwarder wanting only quoting and operations cannot establish what that costs without entering a sales cycle. Modular published pricing lets them start with what they need.

The tariff and rate module deserves separate attention because rate management is the discipline's underlying difficulty. A forwarder holds negotiated rates with multiple carriers across many trade lanes, each with validity periods, surcharges that change monthly and conditions attached. Quoting accurately means applying the right rate from the right contract on the right date, and forwarders who manage this in spreadsheets routinely quote from expired rates, which either loses the business or wins it at a loss.

The customer engagement portal reflects the same shift seen across this industry: shippers now expect self-service visibility rather than emailed updates.

Covering all transport modes matters because a forwarder rarely handles only one. A shipment may move by sea then road, or switch to air when a deadline slips, and software modelling only ocean forces the rest to be tracked outside it.

Pricing is published starting at $89, with modules listed individually so a forwarder can see what each adds.
