What it does
You book a shipment with Aramex or Australia Post. The label generates. The consignment exists. Done — without portal-hopping, without downloading PDFs, without three browser windows open at once.
It’s a small app that sits on your machine. You install it, you open it, you ship. Run it on your own machine, through your own carrier accounts, and there’s no subscription and no monthly fee.
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. Keep the Aramex and Australia Post accounts you’ve built; equosFreight books through them and keeps the records tidy.
How it works
A shipment is ready to dispatch. You enter the details and the consignment is created with Aramex or Australia Post. The label is 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.
FreightInsure
Transit cover is on the way, through FreightInsure. The idea is quiet and close to hand: when you create a consignment, you choose cover without leaving equosFreight.
- Standard cover — on eligible shipments, up to a cap per consignment.
- Extended cover — for the full declared value, with the premium shown before you book.
- No cover — goods travel uninsured.
Goods details captured once, the certificate kept with the shipment, the disclosure shown before you confirm. The integration is being built now, and it turns on here when it’s ready.
What it doesn’t do
It doesn’t manage a fleet. Driver schedules, vehicle maintenance, route optimisation — none of that lives here.
There’s no live tracking dashboard for your customers — the carriers handle tracking. equosFreight handles the bookings, the labels, and the reconciliation around them.
Aramex and Australia Post are ready today, with more carriers on the way. What it doesn’t do is compare live rates across carriers — TNT, Aramex, and Border Express, side by side. That’s the freight brokerage inside the full EQUOS platform.
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 runs on your machine — install it for Windows, Mac, or Linux and start shipping. On its own, through your own carrier accounts, it’s free to run and asks nothing of the rest of your stack.
If your business already runs on the full EQUOS platform, freight is built in there too — a rate brokerage comparing TNT, Aramex, and Border Express side by side. See Freight for how it connects to orders, warehouse, and invoicing.
