Software for freight forwarders and 4PLs

A forwarder earns its margin in the gap between what was quoted and what was executed. When quotation, execution and invoicing sit in different systems, that gap only becomes visible after the month closes — if at all.

Globis covers quotation, order management, execution and invoicing for multimodal forwarding on one data model, so cost and revenue attach to the same order from the moment it is quoted. Ewals Cargo Care, a multi-country operator orchestrating multimodal chains, runs its ERP and financial-administrative backbone on Globis across 16 locations, with planning handled in a dedicated APS alongside it.

What runs on Globis

  • Quotation and contracts — rates, surcharges and validity per customer and lane
  • Order management — from booking to proof of delivery
  • Multimodal execution — road, rail, short sea and deep sea within one order
  • Invoicing and cost control — purchase and sales on the same order
  • Business portals — your customers track their own shipments
  • Integration — with planning tools, accounting, customs and carrier systems

Keep the planner you already have

Globis does not require you to replace a specialised planning or optimisation tool. Ewals runs a dedicated APS next to Globis: the platform holds the administrative and financial truth, the planner does what it is good at. Where no such tool exists, the platform’s own transport execution layer covers it.

See it against your own operation

The quickest test is one of your own lanes, quoted and invoiced end to end.
