Where it hurts today
Carrier rate procurement and quote markups tracked in disconnected spreadsheets
Unbilled accessorial charges (demurrage, detention, chassis splits, and storage) leaking margin
Delayed carrier invoice reconciliation discovering loss-making shipments weeks after delivery
Absence of real-time consignment-level gross profit tracking across branches

This is the work. Neonbee runs the business behind it.

Not a generic ERP bent into shape — the flow below is your flow, in your language, from the first enquiry to the recurring contract.

Your business flow — one thread

From the first lead to the recurring contract.

Every stage lives in one system. The amber dots are where forwarders typically lose margin — and the ✦ Neura agents underneath work exactly those stages.

Real scenarios

The situations that actually cost you money.

Not feature lists — the specific moments that quietly cost a Freight Forwarders business money, and the exact steps Neonbee runs instead.

1

The quote that has to go out in ten minutes

The moment: An importer asks for a door-to-door rate on a 40ft from Ningbo, and is asking two other forwarders at the same time.

On your current stack

The rate is assembled by hand from carrier emails and a spreadsheet of buy rates. It takes half a day, and by then the booking is gone.

With Neonbee
The quote is built from stored buy rates with your margin rules applied
Neura drafts it from the enquiry in the Inbox for the desk to check
It's sent, tracked and chased if it goes quiet
On acceptance it becomes the shipment file — no re-entry
Inbox · CRM (quotes) · Neura AI · Consignments

Quotes go out in minutes with margin already built in, rather than half a day later.

2

Demurrage and detention nobody billed

The moment: A container sits four days past free time because the consignee's warehouse slot slipped.

On your current stack

The carrier charges you. The recharge is remembered only if someone spots it on the invoice, and often it isn't — so you eat it.

With Neonbee
Free-time clocks run on the consignment from arrival
Accessorial events — demurrage, detention, storage, re-work — are logged as they happen
Each one is matched to its recharge rule and client agreement
They appear on the shipment invoice automatically, with evidence
Consignments · Signal · Accounting

Accessorial charges are recovered as a matter of course, not by chance.

3

Per-shipment margin known only at month-end

The moment: A trade lane that feels profitable but nobody can prove is.

On your current stack

Buy and sell sit in different systems. True margin per shipment, per lane and per customer is reconstructed in a spreadsheet weeks later — if at all.

With Neonbee
Every cost posts against the shipment file as it's incurred
Sell rates and recharges post to the same file
Margin per shipment, lane and customer is live in Insight
Loss-making lanes surface while you can still re-price them
Consignments · Accounting · Insight

Lane and customer profitability is visible in time to act on it.

Questions, answered

What most teams ask before the demo.

Straight answers — and anything we haven't covered, ask us live on the call.

Ask us directly
How long does it take to get live?

Most teams are up in 3–5 days. We configure your trade settings, migrate your customers, products and open jobs, and train your team in two 45-minute sessions.

Can we keep using our existing accounting tool?

Yes. Neonbee has a complete double-entry accounting engine built in, but we also sync 2-way with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage and Tally if you prefer to keep your accountant where they are.

Does the AI act on its own?

Neura has two modes: Assist (answers, drafts, summaries) and Execute (real actions through agents). Every Execute action lands as an approval card — nothing runs without your sign-off, and everything is audited.

Is our data used to train AI models?

No. Your data stays yours — it is never shared or sold, and Neura reasons over it privately to help your business only.

What if we only need a few modules?

That's the normal path. All 20 Operations modules share one record, but you switch on only what you need and add the rest when you're ready — pricing follows what you use.
