For import & bonded warehouses

Inbound cargo, stored
and released cleanly.

FreightReserve tracks storage from the moment containers land, holds cargo until charges and customs clear, and releases it on a booked slot. Less demurrage, less revenue lost, no cargo out the door before it is paid.

The import bottleneck

Cargo sits, charges build,
and someone loses.

Imported goods accrue storage from the day they land and cannot move until they are cleared and paid. When that runs on manual tracking, you either eat the cost or your customers cop a surprise bill and a slow release.

01

Storage goes unbilled

Free time and daily accrual tracked by hand mean chargeable days quietly slip away.

02

Cargo released too early

Manual release risks letting goods out before charges or clearance are settled.

03

Clearance status is unclear

Without a single view, nobody is certain a consignment is actually cleared to leave.

04

Demurrage creeps in

Slow, unscheduled collection drives detention and demurrage that erode margins.

05

Disputes drag on

Charge and release disputes are hard to settle with no clear record of events.

How it works for imports

Arrival to release,
under control.

A single workflow that prices storage from arrival and only lets cargo go once it is cleared and paid.

  1. 01

    Container received

    Inbound cargo is booked in and marked stored, ready for the clock to start.

  2. 02

    Storage starts accruing

    Free-time rules and daily rates apply automatically from arrival.

  3. 03

    Cleared for release

    Cargo is flagged as cleared once customs and compliance requirements are met.

  4. 04

    Collection booked

    The consignee or broker self-selects a collection slot online.

  5. 05

    Charges paid

    Storage and handling are settled online before the cargo can move.

  6. 06

    Released on slot

    Self-service collection by Collection Code, Booking Number or Vehicle Registration.

  7. 07

    Everything logged

    A full audit trail of receival, clearance, charges and release.

Import questions

Common questions

Everything you need to know about FreightReserve. Still curious? Talk to us.

Is FreightReserve suitable for import and bonded warehouses?
Yes. It tracks storage from arrival, holds cargo until it is cleared and paid, and releases it on a booked collection slot.
Does it calculate storage from the day cargo arrives?
Yes. Set your free-time rules and daily rates once, and storage and handling are calculated automatically from receival.
Can cargo be held until customs clearance?
Yes. Cargo can be held until it is flagged as cleared, so nothing is released before clearance and payment are in place.
Does it stop cargo leaving before it is paid?
Yes. Release is gated on payment, so storage and handling charges must be settled online before collection.
Will it work with our customs and forwarding systems?
Yes. FreightReserve connects with CargoWise and other systems through a secure REST API to keep status and charges in sync.
How do brokers and carriers collect?
Through self-service lookup by Collection Code, Booking Number or Vehicle Registration, on a slot they book online.
Can it handle more than one warehouse?
Yes. FreightReserve supports multi-site operations with a real-time view of storage, charges and collections across facilities.
