Accounting software for a Freight & shipping company
A freight and shipping company moves bulk cargo for its clients between cities and ports using a fleet of trucks and field reps who follow every load from pickup to final handover. Unlike express last-mile delivery, it handles large shipments on long routes that demand tight scheduling and a bill of lading for every trip.

How a Freight & shipping company runs on Artos
The moment a shipping order comes in, a bill-of-lading record is opened with the service type, route and client, and the trip is assigned to a driver through Sales Rep & Fleet Management so his position is tracked the whole way. Once delivery is confirmed, the bill of lading rolls straight into an approved e-invoice tied to the client's account on the financial side, closing the shipping cycle with no data re-entry.
Bill of lading per shipment
Every haul is logged under its own bill-of-lading number and a defined service type, road, sea or air, inside the sales invoice, so shipment details are tied to their financial movement from the first moment.
Driver and vehicle dispatch
Each trip is assigned to a driver and a vehicle through Sales Rep & Fleet Management, letting the fleet manager track shipment locations and delivery times and allocate jobs to the capacity each truck actually has.
Customer account tracking
The company keeps a separate account for every import and export client, with a detailed statement and automatic reminders on overdue balances that keep collection on schedule.
Route profitability analysis
Fuel, maintenance and revenue all post to the general ledger, so the owner can pull precise profitability reports for each transport lane or service type on its own.
