Digital Freight Control: Total Visibility and Automation for Modern Logistics
Introduction
Linbis changes that with digital freight control — a unified system that combines real-time visibility, automation, and analytics to help logistics teams monitor, manage, and optimize every shipment with precision.
With Linbis, freight management becomes connected, intelligent, and fully digital.
Step 1: Unified Freight Ecosystem
Linbis starts by integrating all your logistics systems into a single control hub:
- TMS (Transportation Management System): shipment creation, routing, and dispatch.
- WMS (Warehouse Management System): inventory, receiving, and outbound coordination.
- CRM and ERP systems: customer orders, billing, and accounting.
- Carrier APIs: live data from airlines, shipping lines, and trucking companies.
- IoT sensors and GPS: real-time tracking for containers, trucks, and cargo.
This unification creates an end-to-end digital freight environment where every movement and status update is tracked automatically.
Step 2: Real-Time Freight Monitoring
Linbis delivers live control and visibility across the entire freight journey:
- Track all shipments globally by mode, carrier, or customer.
- Monitor real-time location and estimated arrival times.
- Detect delays, route deviations, or idle time instantly.
- Access digital documents and proof of delivery from any device.
Every piece of freight data flows automatically into the control dashboard — no calls, no emails, no spreadsheets.
Step 3: Automated Workflows and Process Control
Freight management often involves hundreds of repetitive tasks — Linbis automates them all:
- Creates shipments directly from quotes or orders.
- Generates documents like B/L, invoices, and customs forms.
- Updates clients automatically with tracking notifications.
- Triggers billing and settlements upon delivery confirmation.
This ensures processes run consistently, reducing manual workload and human error.
Step 4: Predictive Freight Intelligence
Linbis integrates AI and predictive analytics to elevate freight control from monitoring to forecasting:
- Predicts potential shipment delays based on live conditions.
- Identifies underperforming carriers or routes.
- Recommends reallocations or rescheduling for optimization.
- Provides cost efficiency insights for continuous improvement.
This gives logistics teams the power to make proactive, data-driven decisions.
Step 5: Freight Cost and Performance Analytics
Controlling freight also means controlling costs — Linbis makes it easy:
- Monitors shipping costs and margins by client or carrier.
- Tracks fuel usage, demurrage, and detention fees.
- Compares contract rates vs. actual costs.
- Generates KPI reports automatically for management and clients.
Every dollar and minute spent on freight becomes measurable — and optimizable.

In an era of digital trade, compliance is critical.
Linbis ensures that freight operations meet all standards through automation:
- Electronic document storage for audits and inspections.
- Customs data synchronization for cross-border compliance.
- Secure encryption protocols to protect sensitive shipment data.
