Creating an order and dispatching to trips

An order starts in Order Entry with the basics: customer, shipper and receiver addresses picked from your saved Places or your customer’s own contact book, and the freight details — weight, cubic, pallets or spaces, and any special handling instructions.

Automatic rating

As soon as the order has a customer, an origin and a destination, Kahala TMS looks for a matching rate agreement and rate rule for that customer and lane, and calculates freight charge, fuel levy and GST automatically. If no rate matches, the order is flagged so your team can price it manually rather than accidentally shipping it for free.

From order to invoice

Once an order is created, it flows through the rest of the system on its own: it gets allocated to a trip or tender for movement, and, depending on your customer’s invoicing settings, becomes ready to invoice as soon as it’s collected or delivered, with no extra data entry.
