The freight desk that runs itself.
Enquiry to invoice. One system.
Every forwarding ERP stores the chain. Ours runs it.
- 01
Enquiry
Inbound mail is read, classified and turned into a shipment record. No re-typing.
- 02
Rating
Routing options built and priced against live carrier rates and your own contracts.
- 03
Quotation
Drafted in your templates, in your tone, with your margin rules applied.
- 04
Booking
Confirmed to the carrier, with the shipment file opened and populated from the quote.
- 05
Operations
Milestones, ETAs and exceptions tracked; the customer told before they ask.
- 06
Documents & customs
B/L drafts, T1 transit, declarations — prepared from the shipment's own data.
- 07
Finance
Job costing, cost deviations and invoicing closed off against the file that created them.
Each step feeds the next. Nothing is entered twice.
Modular, so it fits the desk you already run
No forwarder works like the textbook, and no two work alike. NextGen is built as modules, not as a monolith you bend your process around.
Take what you need
Run the full chain, or start with quotation and add operations, customs and finance as you go.
Configured to your process
Your lanes, your margin rules, your document set, your approval flow — set up during onboarding, changed whenever you need.
No rip-and-replace
Run a module in parallel with your current system, prove it on live traffic, then migrate.
Grows with the office
One desk or twenty, the same platform.
Every lane, measured in real time.
Revenue, margin, on-time performance and account health — the assistant keeps the whole desk in view.

Built to move freight, not to demo.
Four reasons forwarders pick us — and stay.
Operators, not vendors
Built by people who have run freight desks and sales teams — not just shipped software.
Tailored to your desk
Trained on your inbox, templates and rate sources, so it works your way from day one.
Serious AI, quietly applied
Open-source LLMs, RAG and vector search doing real work behind a calm interface.
Proven in production
Live with forwarders across 40+ countries — reading mail, quoting freight and tracking shipments every day.
Word from the desks.
Operators running their freight and pipelines on NextGen — in their own words.
“The assistant reads the inbox faster than any of us could, and the quotes come back sounding like they came from our desk.”
“Quoting used to eat our mornings. Now the drafts are waiting before the coffee is — we check, send, and move on to the exceptions.”
“We went live in three weeks. The model learned our templates so well the first customers never noticed the handover.”
“ColdSale keeps forty conversations warm on LinkedIn while my closers stay on calls. The pipeline hasn't been empty since February.”
“Tender documents that took an afternoon now take twenty minutes — and the numbers come back right.”
“Follow-ups stopped slipping. Every reply is drafted in our tone before I've even opened the thread.”
“A two-man office runs like a desk of six. The AI does the reading; we do the relationships.”
“On-time performance is up eight points since the assistant started flagging at-risk shipments before they slip.”
“The dashboard finally shows margin per lane in real time. Pricing meetings take half the time and end with decisions.”
Modular means you're live in weeks, not quarters.
ERP migrations have a reputation, and it's earned. Modularity is how we avoid it: you don't switch everything at once.
- 01
Scope
We map your lanes, templates, rate sources, document set and current systems. You leave with a module plan and a migration path.
- 02
First module live
One module, connected and trained on your history, running in parallel with what you have now. Typically two to four weeks.
- 03
Migrate at your pace
Modules go live as you're ready, with your data carried across and validated at each step.
- 04
Run and refine
Continuous fine-tuning on your live traffic, with support and new capability as the business changes.
One studio. Software and design.
The AI that runs your operations, and the brand and web work that grows the business around it — built by one team.
Cold outreach that warms itself.
The tireless SDR for LinkedIn. It maps the shippers you want, opens with a message in your voice at the moment they're most likely to read it, and never lets a follow-up slip.
- Prospecting tuned to your ideal customer profile
- First messages drafted in your voice, not a template's
- Follow-ups timed and sent automatically
- Warm replies routed straight to your closers
Not a course. A working habit.
Hands-on sessions in your own tools, on your own data — your people leave using AI on real work, not sample prompts.
Built on your work
Sessions are shaped around the tasks your team already does — quotes, emails, reports, spreadsheets. Nothing generic.
Hands on keyboards
No slide decks. Your people work through real tasks in the session, with us beside them.
A playbook that stays
Each team leaves with a written playbook — the prompts that work, the checks that matter, and where AI stops.
Task
Reply to a rate request
Your team types
Draft a reply to the Rotterdam–Santos rate request using our standard terms.
What comes back
- Last three quotes on the lane, side by side

- Two numbers flagged to check before sending
Your tools. Your data. Your people driving.
We are proud to be partners.
The logistics networks we build with — and move freight through — around the world.
The people behind NextGen.
Builders, operators and designers — AI makers who have run the desks and pipelines this software now carries.
