Air cargo collection,
on schedule.
FreightReserve lets forwarders and carriers book collection slots against the air waybill, automates terminal storage charges, and releases cargo only once it is cleared and paid, so time-critical freight keeps moving and the dock stays clear.
Time-critical freight,
stuck in a queue.
Air cargo moves fast until it reaches the shed. When collection runs on phone calls and paper, forwarders queue at the counter, storage charges build, and time-critical freight waits while the dock backs up.
Forwarders queue at the terminal
Drivers and brokers turn up unscheduled and wait at a busy counter.
Storage charges build
Free time and accrual tracked by hand mean chargeable hours go unbilled.
Cargo released unpaid
Releasing on credit means chasing charges after the freight is gone.
Clearance status is unclear
Without a single view, it is hard to know what is cleared to leave.
No clean audit trail
Disputes over time-sensitive handovers are hard to settle without a record.
Shed to release,
