Ocean Freight Management Software. Master the Water. Own the Workflow.
Ocean freight forwarders today face pressure from both sides. Import teams must deliver constant visibility and VIP level service, while export teams must quote faster and execute flawlessly to win new business. GoFreight's ocean freight management software connects the full ocean workflow in one platform so you can move cargo efficiently, respond to customers proactively, and grow your shipment volume without growing operational strain.

Both modes
Carrier integrations
D&D fee reduction
Ocean freight management software provides freight forwarders with specialized tools for sea cargo operations: FCL and LCL shipment management, container tracking across carriers, consolidation workflows, and ocean specific documentation like bills of lading and ISF filings. Unlike generic logistics tools, it connects quoting, operations, compliance, and billing in one platform built for how ocean forwarders actually work.
Is Your Ocean Department Drifting in Manual Work?
Whether you are moving 50 or 5,000 TEUs, the 'Ocean Gap' is real: every shipment your team re-keys, chases or quotes by hand costs time and margin. It comes down to the 'Triple Trap'.
The Data Trap
Manually re entering the same MBL/HBL data across AIS, carrier portals, and spreadsheets because your ocean freight tools don't talk to each other.
The Visibility Trap
Paying $100s in avoidable D&D fees because a milestone was missed or a "Where's my cargo?" email went buried because your container tracking lives outside your operations system.
The Margin Trap
Taking hours to quote an export or file an import entry, while faster competitors with integrated ocean freight forwarding software win the business.

Ocean Freight Management Software FAQ
What is ocean freight management software?
Ocean freight management software gives freight forwarders specialized tools for managing sea cargo operations end to end. This includes FCL and LCL shipment management, container tracking across 125+ carriers, consolidation workflows, ocean documentation like bills of lading and ISF filings, and agent settlements. Unlike generic logistics tools, it connects quoting, operations, compliance, and billing in one platform built for how ocean forwarders actually work.
Does GoFreight handle both FCL and LCL shipments?
Yes. GoFreight manages Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments with full consolidation workflow support. You can group multiple shippers, manage house and master bills, and handle split invoicing all in one system.
How much can GoFreight reduce demurrage and detention costs?
United Cargo Management cut demurrage costs by 53% after switching on GoFreight's container alerts. GoFreight brings available container milestones from ocean carriers, North American terminals, railroads and AIS vessel data into the shipment workflow, and alerts your team, and the customer if you choose, before free time expires.
Can GoFreight handle both ocean import and export?
Yes. GoFreight provides dedicated workflows for both directions. Ocean import includes container tracking, ISF filing, and arrival notices. Ocean export includes rate management, AES filing, and carrier booking. Both sides share a single database, so quoting, operations, compliance, and billing are fully connected.
How does ocean freight quoting and rate management work in GoFreight?
Contract and spot rates live in one searchable database instead of an inbox. Surcharge templates can be configured by carrier, origin and destination port, and validity dates. Your team pulls the right rate into a quote, markup is applied automatically, and the branded quote goes out in minutes. When the customer accepts, the quote converts to a shipment in one click and the quote's charges carry through to the invoice with no re-keying. Quote generation time is reduced by up to 50%.
Does GoFreight integrate with customs filing for ocean shipments?
Yes. ISF 10+2, ocean AMS and AES all run from inside GoFreight today, filed from the same shipment record your operations team already works in, with CBP responses coming back onto that record. Filing is transmitted through integrated filing partners rather than a connection you have to build or maintain.
