Catupult Forward

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.

Built for ocean FCL, ocean LCL, air, road, rail and multimodal forwarding.
Adoption workflow

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.

Problem

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.

Product overview

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.

Why Catupult Forward

Not another disconnected freight tool.

Most forwarders already have tools. The problem is that the work is still spread across too many places.

Email.
WhatsApp.
Spreadsheets.
PDF documents.
Carrier portals.
Accounting systems.
Traditional ERP.
Shared folders.
Local trackers.
Side conversations.

Catupult Forward is different because it is built around the actual sequence of forwarding work.

Quote the shipment.
Find the rate.
Confirm the booking.
Process the document.
Manage the milestone.
Chase the exception.
Verify the vendor cost.
Invoice the customer.
Understand the margin.

The work stays connected as it moves.

AI / Intelligence

Freight-specific intelligence built into the workflow.

Catupult Forward is an AI-native modern workspace that changes how forwarding teams use operating software.

Instead of forcing users to navigate through rigid screens, menus and system paths, Catupult Forward uses a single prompt box to help orchestrate the workflow and summon the right records, actions and workspace when needed.

A user can ask Catupult Forward to create an enquiry, compare rates, prepare a quotation, open a shipment, process a document, check an exception, verify a vendor invoice or show profitability.

The system brings the right workflow forward.

This makes Catupult Forward easier and more intuitive for users of different experience levels. It puts the user in charge of the work, instead of making the user adapt to an inflexible system.

Catupult Forward uses AI where it matters in freight forwarding: documents, data, workflow actions, exceptions, costs and operational decisions.

It is not generic AI placed on top of logistics. It is freight-specific intelligence built into the operating workspace.

Catu360

Keeps the shipment / job operating record connected across the workflow — from customer enquiry to quotation, booking, job, documents, milestones, costs, invoice and profitability.

CatuDoc

Reads incoming messages and freight documents, extracts and validates data, adds operational context and updates the right customer, shipment, job or document record.

CatuPilot

Runs approved, rules-based workflows across commercial, operations, documents and finance, while escalating exceptions or decisions that need human judgement.

CatuVault

Keeps the document trail connected to the right customer, shipment, job, cost, invoice and financial record.

Together, they help forwarders move from disconnected record-keeping after the fact to a connected operating flow where data, documents, decisions and financial control move together.

Customer segment

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.

Modes

One operating model across every mode.

Ocean FCL

Equipment, sailing schedules, cut-offs, bookings, BLs, container milestones, carrier commitments and customer updates.

Ocean LCL

Consolidation, co-loaders, warehouse hand-offs, sailing plans, documentation and shipment-level profitability.

Air freight

Chargeable weight, flight options, terminal cut-offs, MAWB / HAWB, hand-offs, delivery milestones and billing.

Road freight

Pickup, dispatch, delivery milestones, proof of delivery, vendor costs and customer invoicing.

Rail and multimodal

Intermodal legs, hand-offs, milestones, documents, costs and end-to-end shipment visibility.

Each mode keeps its operational reality. The business keeps one connected customer, job, document, cost and financial truth.

Product experience

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.
