The spreadsheet problem

A shared sheet
was never the plan.

Booking freight on a spreadsheet works until it does not. As volume grows, the sheet fills with clashes, nobody is sure which version is current, and there is no record of who changed what or when.

01

Double-bookings

A sheet has no guardrails, so two trucks land on the same slot.

02

Version chaos

Emailed copies and local edits mean nobody is sure which sheet is current.

03

No real-time view

The schedule is only as fresh as the last person to save and send it.

04

No audit trail

When a booking changes, there is no record of who did it or why.

05

Charges by formula

Storage worked out by hand in cells is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.

How you move off spreadsheets

From a sheet
to a system.

Everything the spreadsheet was trying to do, done properly and in one place.

  1. 01

    Set your rules

    Define bays, capacity, free time and rates once, in one place.

  2. 02

    Bookings come online

    Customers and carriers book through a portal, not your inbox.

  3. 03

    Clashes prevented

    Capacity rules stop double-bookings the moment they are attempted.

  4. 04

    Everyone sees one view

    The whole team works from the same live schedule.

  5. 05

    Charges calculated

    Storage and handling are worked out automatically, not in cells.

  6. 06

    Paid and collected

    Customers pay online and collect by self-service.

  7. 07

    Everything recorded

    Every booking and change is logged, with no lost versions.

Built to replace the sheet

A real platform, not a file.

Everything a booking spreadsheet cannot do, built in.

01

Real booking system

Replace the shared sheet with proper online booking.

02

No more clashes

Capacity rules stop the double-bookings a sheet cannot catch.

03

Live, shared view

Everyone sees the same schedule in real time.

04

Charges that add up

Storage billed automatically, not by formula.

05

Built-in audit trail

Every change recorded, with no lost versions.

06

Scales with volume

Handles growth a spreadsheet never could.

Fits your systems

Connected, not copied. No re-keying.

Instead of copying data between a sheet and your other tools, FreightReserve connects to your WMS, TMS and CargoWise through a secure REST API, so everything stays aligned.

Common questions

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

Why move off a booking spreadsheet?
Spreadsheets cannot prevent double-bookings, show a live shared view, bill storage reliably or keep an audit trail. FreightReserve does all of that in one place.
Will it stop double-bookings?
Yes. Capacity rules prevent two bookings landing on the same slot, which a shared sheet cannot enforce.
Does everyone see the same schedule?
Yes. The whole team and your customers work from one live view, not emailed copies of a file.
Does it keep a record of changes?
Yes. Every booking and change is logged, so there are no lost versions and no mystery edits.
Can it handle storage charges?
Yes. Storage and handling are calculated automatically from your rules, instead of formulas in cells.
Is it hard to switch?
No. You set your bays, capacity and rates once, and FreightReserve takes over from the sheet. We help you get set up.
Will it connect to our other systems?
Yes. It syncs with WMS, TMS, CargoWise and customer portals through a secure REST API, so you stop copying data around.
