Freight Forwarding and Logistics Software, TMS
You get a TMS system in Bulgarian for managing loads, quotes, external carriers, CMR and customs documentation. It is suitable for freight forwarding companies, customs brokers, warehouses and 3PL operators that want the entire process to follow a single shipment file.
Is this TMS system right for your company?
The system is for companies that organise FTL and LTL transport through external carriers rather than managing only their own fleet. The enquiry, quote, contract, documents, costs, margin and current status are all brought together in one file.
Customs brokers with a temporary warehouse, cross-dock operations or separate billing for warehouse services are also a good fit. For 3PL operators, the system can bring together goods receiving, inventory, shipments, billing and the customer portal.
What does the freight forwarding software manage?
| Module | What you get |
|---|---|
| Loads and quotes | Enquiry with route, weight, volume and load type; quote versions; PDF for the customer. |
| Carrier tender | Posting a load to partners and freight exchanges, receiving quotes and selecting a carrier. |
| TimoCom and Trans.eu | Integration through official APIs where the relevant platform's access and terms allow it. |
| Contracts and CMR | Generate a transport contract and CMR from a template using the shipment file's data, including a change history. |
| Customs documents | Templates and a file for customs documents, plus a package for the broker. The specific connections are agreed based on the process. |
| Warehouse and cross-dock | Receiving, weighing, temporary storage, transloading and batch tracking when needed. |
| Location and status | Load status and, where a data source is available, GPS or Track and Trace information. |
| Commissions and claims | Commission, costs and margin per load; a register of claims, photos, correspondence and deadlines. |
| Roles and reports | Separate access for the dispatcher, warehouse operator, accountant and manager; reports by customer, carrier, load and margin. |
How does the TMS connect to your other software?
The TMS system can exchange data with an ERP, accounting software or internal system through a REST API and webhooks. A confirmed load, delivered shipment or paid invoice can trigger a transfer to another system instead of requiring an employee to copy the information manually.
Before promising a connection, we check the API documentation, your plan and your actual access rights. For specific logic, we build the connection as part of custom software, while individual data exchange processes can be described in the API integrations service.
How does the development process work?
- 01Discussion about loads and roles
You describe the types of transport, customers, carriers, documents, warehouse operations and billing method. We clarify who enters, approves and can view each piece of information.
- 02Process map
We map the journey from enquiry and quote to carrier selection, loading, delivery, invoicing and any claim. This makes the required fields, statuses, notifications and rules clear.
- 03Technical scope
We review TimoCom, Trans.eu, ERP, accounting software, warehouse devices and GPS data sources. We separate standard modules from custom development.
- 04Development and configuration
We build the shipment file, roles, document templates, reports and integrations. Your team reviews working parts throughout the project.
- 05Testing with real scenarios
We work through an international shipment, a quote change, a carrier declining the job, warehouse receiving, delivery and a claim. Unclear steps are corrected before launch.
- 06Launch and handover
We configure users, import the agreed data and hand the system over to the team. Code access is arranged according to the agreed scope and project terms.
How much does freight forwarding software cost?
The project falls within the range €3,000-€29,300. At the lower end are usually systems covering the core flow for shipments, quotes, carriers and CMR. The higher end includes customs warehouses, claims workflow, multi-company structures, warehouse processes, complex integrations and data migration.
The exact price also depends on the number of operators, documents, reports, roles and invoicing method. We do not charge monthly licence fees for custom-built software; hosting, support, external platforms and future changes are agreed separately.
What does our work on business systems demonstrate?
The logistics process shares common elements with other business systems: roles, document management, tasks, invoicing and a traceable history. In our portfolio, you can see examples of systems where warehouse, field operations, sales or administrative processes are managed from a single workspace.
When the system needs to cover other departments too, we use a modular approach. The TMS remains the freight forwarder's primary workspace, while accounting, the warehouse, the manager or the customer gets only the screens and permissions they need. If you already have an ERP, we start with data exchange instead of rebuilding the same functionality.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
- How long does it take to build a TMS?
- The timeframe depends on the number of modules, integrations, migration and how ready the templates are. Once the process is defined, we provide a phased plan with a specific scope rather than a vague timeline with no substance.
- Can we start with just shipments, quotes and CMR?
- Yes. The project can start with the core flow, while the warehouse, claims workflow, portal and additional integrations are added in phases. This lets the team start with the processes they use most often.
- Does the system integrate with TimoCom and Trans.eu?
- Integration through the platforms' official APIs is possible if your plan and access allow it. The scope may include posting a shipment, receiving quotes and synchronising statuses; we confirm the specific operations before preparing a quote.
- Can it generate CMRs and carriage contracts?
- Yes. Data is populated from the shipment file into CMR and carriage contract templates, and changes can be tracked by user and time. Electronic signatures and archiving are agreed according to your chosen process and legal requirements.
- What data do we need to prepare?
- You will need sample shipment files, contracts, CMRs, pricing rules, a list of roles and information about external systems. Also include real cases involving changes, refusals, delivery and claims so we can test the system against your logic.
