International forwarding, connected from enquiry to invoice.
Catupult Forward is an AI-native international forwarding workspace for freight forwarders, NVOCCs and logistics teams.
It connects customer enquiries, rates, vendor integrations, quotations, bookings, jobs, documents, milestones, tracking, vendor costs, invoicing and profitability in one operating flow.
So your team can run more freight with less duplicate entry, fewer hand-off gaps, stronger document control and clearer margin visibility.

Start with a live demo. Then evaluate Catupult Forward.
Catupult Forward is best understood by seeing the workflow live.
Start with a live demo. Then your team can evaluate Catupult Forward through a time-limited workspace with your IT, commercial and operations teams.
The evaluation is designed to help your organisation understand the workflow properly — from customer enquiry to quotation, booking, job, documents, tracking, vendor costs, invoice and profitability.
If you decide to continue, your organisation moves into a paid Catu360 shipment package.
How many times does your team enter the same shipment data?
A customer request comes in by email, WhatsApp or phone.
- The details are copied into a quote.
- The quote becomes an order.
- Booking details are entered again.
- Documents are checked separately.
- Vendor costs are matched later.
- Invoices and job profitability are pulled together after the shipment has already moved.
That is where freight forwarding teams lose time, accuracy, context and control.
Catupult Forward connects the work so the same customer, shipment, document, cost and financial context moves through the operation.
One workspace for the real forwarding workflow.
Catupult Forward brings the commercial, operational, document and financial parts of forwarding into one connected workspace.
Enquiries and customer context
Capture customer requests, structure the requirement and keep the context connected from the start.
Rates and quotations
Find rates, compare options, apply commercial logic and prepare professional quotations faster.
Schedules and vendor integrations
Access schedule, rate, tracking or vendor data where available through supported carrier, vendor, co-loader, transporter, agent or visibility integrations.
Orders, bookings and jobs
Turn accepted quotes into controlled orders, bookings and jobs without repeatedly keying the same shipment data.
Documents and milestones
Use CatuDoc and CatuVault to process freight documents, validate shipment data, track milestones and detect exceptions earlier.
Vendor costs and invoicing
Check vendor costs against the job, invoice faster and keep quoted-versus-actual profitability visible.
Management intelligence
See performance by customer, shipment, branch, mode, lane, carrier, vendor and margin.
Not another disconnected freight tool.
Most forwarders already have tools. The problem is that the work is still spread across too many places.
Catupult Forward is different because it is built around the actual sequence of forwarding work.
The work stays connected as it moves.
Catu360 coordinates the work across the forwarding flow.
Catu360 is the AI orchestration layer inside Catupult Forward. It helps teams prepare, check and move work forward across quotation, booking, documents, milestones, tracking, vendor costs, invoicing and profitability — while keeping users in control.
One request can coordinate:
- Rate context — contracts, spot rates, surcharges and validity
- Schedule context — sailings, transit times and cut-offs
- Tracking context — carrier feeds, milestones and exceptions
- Document context — bills of lading, invoices, packing lists and customs documents
- Finance context — vendor costs, invoices and margin visibility
- Communication context — customer updates, internal notes and approvals
- Workflow context — the next controlled action in the shipment file
One instruction. Multiple freight engines.
Catupult Forward is designed so teams can ask for work to be prepared, checked or moved forward from one place. Catu360 brings together shipment context, documents, workflow actions, communication trails, schedules, tracking, vendor costs and profitability context.
A user asks:
“Prepare a quote for this enquiry and check the best sailing.”
Catu360 coordinates:
- Catu360 record contextshipment, customer and job data
- CatuDocdocument reading and extracted data
- CatuPilotapproved workflow actions
- CatuVaultdocument trail and audit record
- Schedules and trackingexternal shipment data where available
- Finance contextvendor costs, invoices and profitability

Growth means more manual coordination.
Growth means more work moving through a controlled operating flow.
Built for forwarders, NVOCCs and logistics teams at every stage of growth.
Catupult Forward is designed for international forwarding companies of different sizes — from owner-operated businesses to global networks.
The operating problem changes with scale, but the core issue is often the same: shipment data, documents, costs, decisions and customer context are spread across too many places.
Catupult Forward brings that work into one connected international forwarding workspace.
For small and owner-operated forwarders
Many small forwarders run on email, WhatsApp, spreadsheets, PDF documents, accounting software and personal follow-up. That works when shipment volume is low. But it quickly becomes difficult to track what was quoted, what was booked, which document changed, which vendor cost was agreed and whether the job actually made money. Catupult Forward gives small forwarders a clean operating workspace from the start. After a live demo, your team can evaluate the workspace and understand how it fits the way you sell, operate and invoice shipments.
For growing forwarders and NVOCCs
Growing forwarders usually already have a working rhythm — but it often depends on people remembering the process, checking multiple files, chasing colleagues and fixing issues manually. Sales, operations, documentation and finance may each have their own version of the shipment. Catupult Forward helps growing forwarders standardise the flow from enquiry to quote, order, booking, job, document, vendor cost, invoice and P&L. Teams can reduce duplicate entry, avoid missed hand-offs, process documents faster and see job profitability more clearly.
For multi-branch and multi-country forwarders
As forwarders expand across branches, countries and modes, operational variation becomes expensive. One branch may manage quotations differently. Another may track jobs in spreadsheets. A third may rely heavily on email and local finance files. Catupult Forward gives multi-branch and multi-country forwarders a common operating layer across commercial, operations, documents and finance. Teams can work in a consistent way while still handling local requirements, customer differences, mode-specific workflows and country-specific operating needs. Managers get better visibility across customers, lanes, branches, vendors, costs, exceptions and profitability.
For global forwarders
Global forwarders usually already have ERP, finance systems, customer communication tools, document storage, reporting systems and local operating platforms. But much of the real work still happens around those systems — in inboxes, spreadsheets, portals, PDFs, chat threads, shared folders and manual reconciliations. The problem is not that global forwarders have no software. The problem is that too much operating context sits between systems. Catupult Forward helps global forwarders reduce the manual work around the system and add freight-specific intelligence, workflow execution, document control and visibility around existing systems.
One product. Different starting points.
A small forwarder may use Catupult Forward as its main operating workspace.
A growing forwarder may use it to bring discipline to sales, operations, documents and finance.
A multi-country forwarder may use it to standardise execution across branches.
A global forwarder may use it as an intelligence and workflow layer around existing systems.
The outcome is the same:
Less re-entry. Fewer hand-off gaps. Better document control. Faster execution. Clearer profitability. More freight managed with less friction.
One operating model across every mode.

A lighter way to run serious forwarding work.
Catupult Forward is designed as a clean, connected workspace.
The navigation
Customers, enquiries, rates, quotations, orders, jobs, documents, finance and management views are easy to reach.
The workspace
The right quotation, booking, milestone, document, cost, invoice or analysis view appears when needed.
The intelligence layer
Ask Catupult Forward to create an enquiry, compare rates, prepare a quotation, update a job, process a document, check an exception, verify a vendor invoice or show profitability.
The user starts with the outcome they need, not the menu path they have to remember.
Autonomy you can audit.
Catupult Forward is designed for controlled workflow automation. Catu360-assisted actions operate with permissions, approvals, exception handling and a clear record of what happened.
Permissions
Actions follow user and organisation controls.
Approvals
Sensitive workflow steps can be reviewed before completion.
Audit trail
Documents, data, actions and workflow history remain connected to the shipment record.
Explainability
Key outputs should trace back to the source record, document, carrier feed or commercial input where available.
Human judgement
Exceptions and commercial decisions can be escalated to the right person.
