What it does
You book a shipment with your carrier. The label generates. The consignment exists. Done — without portal-hopping, without downloading PDFs, without three browser windows open at once.
Carrier invoices arrive — sometimes weeks later. equosFreight reads them and lines them up against the consignments they belong to. The matches are clear. The discrepancies are clear. The cost of freight you put in your books matches what you actually paid.
It works with the carriers you already use. You don’t switch to a marketplace or a single integration. You keep the relationships you’ve built, in the formats they send.
Everything stays on your machine. Bookings, labels, invoices, reconciliation history — they live on your desk. Nothing leaves unless you send it.
How it works
A shipment is ready to dispatch. You enter the details — or pull them from an order you’ve already prepared — and the consignment is created with the carrier. The label generates locally, ready for the printer next to where it will be applied. The shipment is on its way.
In the days and weeks that follow, the carrier invoice arrives. You open it in equosFreight. The format is recognised, the rows are pulled into a tidy view, the columns lined up against the consignments they refer to. You see what was charged, for what.
For each consignment, the actual charges land where they belong. Fuel, base rate, surcharges, GST — broken down properly. The figure in your books matches the figure on the invoice, with the working to back it up.
When you want to know the real cost of freight over time — not what you guessed, what you actually paid — it’s already there. No spreadsheet to build.
What it doesn’t do
It doesn’t manage a fleet. Driver schedules, vehicle maintenance, route optimisation — none of that lives here.
It’s not a cloud service. There’s no live tracking dashboard for your customers — the carriers handle tracking. equosFreight handles the bookings, the labels, and the reconciliation around them.
It doesn’t talk to equosBooks. The two apps are separate, each doing its own thing. If a shipment cost needs to land in your books, you carry it across yourself.
Connected to
equosFreight stands on its own. It doesn’t sync to the cloud, and it doesn’t share data with equosBooks — by design. The EQUOS cloud platform has its own Freight area, useful if your business already runs there. This one is the local alternative, for those who’d rather keep freight on their desk.
