Digital freight forwarding platform
Digital freight forwarding doesn't have to mean becoming a software company or migrating your operation onto someone else's marketplace. Fretie gives a traditional forwarding team the digital layer customers now expect — on top of the stack you already run.
Instant quotes, self-serve approval links, live shipment visibility, and an auditable AI pipeline — while CargoWise or Magaya stays the system of record.
The customer experience of a digital forwarder
Customers get answers in minutes, quote options they can compare, and a link where they approve with one click — no portal login, no phone tag. To them, you look like the digital-native competitors; behind the scenes, it's your same team and contracts.
Durable by default
A quote pipeline that drops emails is worse than no pipeline. Fretie runs on durable workflows: every run is retried, resumable, and replayable, with a step-by-step timeline streamed live to the browser. Ledgered, like freight should be.
Digitize without the rebuild
No rip-and-replace project, no six-month integration. Connect the inbox, load rates, keep your TMS — the digital layer wraps the operation you already have, and your team keeps their tools.

Frequently asked questions
+What is digital freight forwarding?
It's forwarding where the commercial workflow — quoting, booking, tracking, communication — happens through fast digital channels instead of manual email back-and-forth. Fretie brings that model to traditional forwarders without replacing their operation.
+Do I need to change how my team works?
Mostly no. Requests still arrive in the same inboxes and bookings still land in the same TMS. What changes is that the reading, rating, and drafting happen automatically, and your team's job shifts to reviewing and deciding.
+How is this different from a digital forwarder like Flexport?
Digital forwarders compete with you for your customers. Fretie is software for your forwarding business: your contracts, your margins, your customer relationships — with the digital experience layered on top.
+What does "durable pipeline" actually mean?
Every quote request runs as a durable workflow: if a step fails it retries, nothing is silently dropped, and every run can be replayed and audited step by step. Reliability is the feature that makes automation trustworthy.
+Can my customers track shipments?
Accepted quotes flow into bookings and shipment tracking inside Fretie, and your team can share status without digging through carrier sites. The TMS remains the operational record.
