Digital control tower for dispatch teams
Freightly by Vossloh digitises logistics with a cloud-based transport management system (TMS) for companies across the logistics and supply chain industry. The platform streamlines processes from procurement to invoicing, automates repetitive tasks and simplifies document exchange with freight forwarders, shipping lines and airlines. The TMS integrates into existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, automates pricing for quotes and orders, and connects organisations with their logistics network and partners for end-to-end visibility.
Together with the operations team we turned Freightly into a command centre: quote calculation, load planning and documentation now live in one interface – enriched with live data from the ERP and carrier systems.
In parallel the TMS was wired to SAP and the partner network – across modern API and EDI interfaces.
Highlights – feature → outcome
End-to-end visibility
From incoming request to final dispatch every status lives on one board – including SLA alerts and escalation flows.
Automated pricing logic
Historic data plus current capacity feed a pricing engine that suggests buy and sell rates for every lane.
Document hub
Waybills, invoices and customs docs are stored automatically, versioned and shared with third-party systems.
Modules in action

Visualises open and running transports with filters for lane, margin band and carrier.
Control tower KPIs
Dashboards for cost per shipment, utilisation per hub and service levels.
Partner portal
Carriers upload docs, confirm slots and receive digital briefings.
Compliance layer
Versions contracts, creates audit trails and exposes audit-ready exports.
Workflow & collaboration
Goals
Goals and hypotheses were validated with operations and controlling.
- •Cut time from request to dispatch in half.
