Freight forwarding relationships are built on speed, accuracy, and trust. Your clients expect real-time updates. Your carriers expect clean data. Your finance team expects correct invoices. And your operations team expects all of it to happen without chasing information across disconnected systems.

Cybex 3.0 centralizes every forwarding relationship, every cargo transaction, and every communication touchpoint inside one platform. From the moment a new forwarder is onboarded to the moment their final invoice is settled, every interaction is tracked, audited, and automated.

Built Around How Integrated Warehouse with Forwarders and Carriers Actually Work

Business Entity Management

Your partners wear multiple hats simultaneously. A freight forwarder is also a consignee on one shipment, a billing guarantor on another, and an authorized carrier on a third.

Cybex 3.0 handles this through a unified business entity database where a single partner profile can be assigned multiple operational roles concurrently. One record serves as the foundation for every transaction, every communication, and every financial relationship that partner has with your operation.

What This Means for Your Operation:

Multi-Role Flexibility

A single entity record can be defined concurrently as a freight forwarder, consignee, agent, shipper, customs broker, or carrier. When a transaction is processed, Cybex identifies the correct role automatically based on the operational context, eliminating duplicate records and data conflicts.

Regulatory & Carrier Identification

Multiple regulatory identifiers, carrier codes, and broker IDs can be mapped to a single parent profile. For forwarders operating across multiple regional markets with distinct carrier codes, every identifier resolves back to one master record.

Geographic Entity Points

Entities can also represent physical locations in your network, including marine terminals, airports, rail yards, and transit hubs. Your entire partner and location network lives inside one structured database.

Inline Entity Provisioning

When an incoming shipment lists a new partner that does not yet exist in your database, your team can create the entity record directly inside the shipment screen. Cybex scans for duplicate names and matching Client IDs instantly, preventing duplicate records before they are created.

Forwarder Account Operations & Cargo Management

Cybex 3.0 gives freight forwarders a fully operational workspace inside your platform environment,

not just a read-only tracking portal. From submitting shipment data to managing delivery orders,

reviewing cargo release states, and handling re-manifest requests, forwarders operate as active participants in the cargo lifecycle with their own structured, permission-controlled workspace.

Shipment Submission & Data Management

Forwarders submit shipment data directly into Cybex through their preferred channel. EDI transmissions, API payloads, and flat-file uploads are all parsed automatically and mapped to the correct entity records without manual intervention from your warehouse team. When a forwarder's inbound data contains contact details or addresses that differ from existing master records, both data blocks are preserved simultaneously. The forwarder retains control over which data source takes precedence without creating duplicate records or conflicting entries.

Delivery Order Interaction

Once cargo is received and cleared inside the warehouse, forwarders interact directly with the delivery order process from within their portal. They can designate authorized carriers for pickup, confirm carrier identities against active shipment records, and review the real-time readiness status of their cargo before dispatching a driver to the dock. Every delivery order tied to a forwarder's account is visible within their isolated workspace, filtered strictly to their entity code with no exposure to other clients' operational data.

Cargo Release State Visibility

Forwarders monitor the complete release status of every shipment tied to their account in real time. Customs release states, steamship line release confirmations, and internal warehouse readiness flags are all visible from the forwarder's portal the moment they are updated inside the platform. There is no delay between an operational update on the warehouse side and the forwarder's visibility into that update.

Re-Manifest & Remand Management

When a forwarder submits a re-manifest or remand request through EDI or API, Cybex processes it automatically in the background. The forwarder's portal reflects the current remand status in real time across three clear states. A Processed status confirms the remand and linked delivery order have been successfully constructed with zero manual action required. An Orphaned status provides a detailed diagnostic log identifying the parsing error or missing reference so the forwarder can correct and resubmit quickly. An Undone status confirms the reversal with a full timestamp and audit trail, giving the forwarder complete transparency into every re-manifest outcome without contacting your operations team.

Multi-Barcode Reference Compatibility

Forwarders operating with their own internal tracking systems and barcode structures do not need to adopt Cybex identifiers to interact with the platform. A single shipment record simultaneously recognizes the forwarder's original label code, the cargo control number, the carrier booking number, and the Cybex-generated tracking ID. Every scan and every query resolves back to the correct shipment record regardless of which identifier the forwarder uses.

EDI & API Integration for Forwarders

The most time-consuming part of managing forwarder relationships is not the freight itself. It is the constant

exchange of shipment data, delivery orders, customs releases, and status updates between systems that do not naturally speak to each other. Cybex 3.0 resolves this through a purpose-built integration engine that connects directly to your forwarders' systems using the protocols they already use.

Multi-Protocol Connectivity

Cybex supports Standard EDI including EDIFACT and ANSI X12 transaction sets, secure REST and SOAP APIs, SFTP batch directories for flat-file processing, and B2B middleware connectors. Every forwarder, regardless of their technical infrastructure, can exchange data with Cybex without custom development work.

Automated Foreign Key Translation

When a forwarder sends a delivery order or shipment payload via EDI or API, it arrives with their own internal Client IDs and reference numbers. Cybex automatically translates these external identifiers and maps them to the correct entity record and shipment file inside the platform, eliminating manual cross-referencing entirely.

EDI Data Coexistence

When inbound EDI payloads contain contact details or addresses that differ from your existing master records, Cybex preserves both data blocks simultaneously. Your team can retain the raw EDI string or overwrite the transaction record with current master entity data using a single action, giving you control over which data source takes precedence.

Automated Remand Processing

Re-manifest requests received via EDI or API are processed automatically in the background. The system categorizes every remand operation and provides a clear status for each transaction, including fully processed remands requiring zero manual action, orphaned payloads with detailed diagnostic logs for fast resolution, and reversed records with user-stamped audit trails.

Real-Time Cargo Visibility & Tracking

Forwarder relationships thrive when information flows automatically. Cybex 3.0 keeps every partner updated across every critical cargo milestone through a verified, subscription-based notification engine and a dedicated external tracking portal.

OTP-Verified Notification Subscriptions

Before any email address or phone number is enrolled for automated alerts, Cybex deploys a 6-digit one-time password to confirm valid ownership. This protects your operational security and ensures notifications reach the right people every time.

Event-Based Milestone Alerts

Once verified, forwarders subscribe to the cargo milestones that matter to their operation and choose their preferred delivery channel from EDI, API, Email, or SMS.

External Cargo Tracking Portal

Forwarders and consignees access a dedicated tracking portal to query shipment progress using a Cargo Control Number, Bill of Lading, internal File Number, or Shipment ID. The portal displays milestone progress, active transport states, and authorized references without exposing internal warehouse operations, pricing structures, or private notes.

Automated Integration Notifications

The integration gateway fires event-driven alerts across every operational milestone including Arrived at Warehouse, Offloading Complete, Customs Released, Dispatched, and Proof of Delivery Attached. Notifications route via in-app portal alerts, email with attached document manifests, or SMS based on each partner's subscription preferences.

Document Management & Distribution

Managing freight documentation across multiple forwarders, shipments, and containers creates complexity that grows with every transaction. Cybex 3.0 centralizes every document across the full cargo hierarchy and gives your team the tools to distribute them instantly without hunting through email threads or shared drives.

Hierarchical Document Repository

Documents are organized in a top-down inheritance structure. Querying a master container number instantly retrieves every attached file across all nested shipments, orders, and receiving logs, including proof of unloading records, damage photos, customs releases, and commercial invoices.

Bulk Document Selection & Email Dispatch

Users can select multiple documents across different sub-shipments simultaneously and attach them directly to outgoing customer emails in a single action. No downloading, re-uploading, or switching between systems.

Document Classification & Floor Visibility

Documents are categorized by operational function. Files classified as loading-related, unloading-related, or packing lists automatically surface on warehouse tablet interfaces during the relevant operation. Critical handling instructions and hazmat precautions reach the floor without anyone manually distributing them.

Upward Document Inheritance

A proof of delivery document uploaded by a driver on the road instantly links to the shipment file, the parent container manifest, and the global document repository simultaneously. Every department accesses the same file without duplication or version conflicts.

Access-Controlled Modification

Document metadata and attachments are edited within their specific operational context while remaining centrally indexed. External forwarders access only the documents explicitly linked to their cargo records. Internal documents remain hidden from external portals.

Ready to Bring Your Forwarding Network Into One Platform?

Cybex 3.0 gives your freight forwarding relationships the infrastructure they deserve. Automated data exchange, accurate billing, real-time visibility, and secure partner access work together inside one platform built specifically for the complexity of serious freight operations.

Forwarding-Specific Billing & Financial Management

Billing accuracy across a network of freight forwarders with different contract terms, discount structures, and payment arrangements is one of the most operationally demanding challenges in logistics finance. Cybex 3.0 embeds every forwarder's commercial terms directly into their entity profile and applies them automatically at the point of invoice generation.

Customer Special Rates

Each forwarder entity profile carries a custom rate matrix that overrides the standard charge catalog during billing. When a billable event is generated, the system checks the forwarder's entity profile for a contract rate and applies it automatically. If no special rate exists, the system falls back to the default catalog rate without any manual intervention.

Multi-Payer Split Billing

Individual line items within a single shipment or container can be allocated to different billing entities simultaneously. A shipment's charges can be split between the freight forwarder and the local consignee, with each party's contract rate applied independently to their respective line items.

Third-Party Guarantor Workflows

Cybex supports third-party guarantee arrangements, allowing specific charges to be flagged for secondary invoicing or guarantor settlement. Forwarders acting as billing guarantors for their clients are handled natively within the financial engine without workaround processes.

Invoice Validation & Submission

Before any invoice reaches a forwarder, Cybex enforces client-specific validation rules including mandatory purchase order reference numbers, valid date ranges, and required document attachments. Invoices that do not meet these conditions cannot be submitted, protecting your billing accuracy at every stage.

B2B Invoice Transmission

Finalized invoices transmit directly to forwarder accounts payable systems via EDI including X12 and EDIFACT formats, direct API connections, or trade network middleware. PDF invoices are rendered and emailed automatically, with recipient addresses dynamically saved to the forwarder's master contact matrix.

Two-Tier Notes

Customer-facing printable notes on invoice line items are kept completely separate from internal admin notes used for credit approvals and billing audit trails. Your forwarders receive clean, professional invoices while your finance team retains full internal commentary.

CRM Connectivity & Productivity Integration

Freight forwarding is a relationship business. The conversations, opportunities, and communications

that happen in your front office need to connect with the operational data that drives your warehouse

and dispatch workflows. Cybex 3.0 bridges this gap through structured CRM connectivity that keeps both environments synchronized without merging them into a single, unmanageable database.

Decoupled CRM Synchronization

Cybex supports connectivity with enterprise CRM and business productivity platforms including Cheers Connect. The integration keeps front-office sales opportunities, digital assets, and automated communication logs structurally separate from the core operational database, preserving data integrity on both sides.

Structured Data Separation

Sales pipeline data, client outreach records, email communication logs, and video interaction histories live in the CRM environment. Shipment records, cargo transactions, financial data, and warehouse events live in Cybex. Both environments stay current without one contaminating the other.

Communication Infrastructure

Cybex maintains a centralized communication layer that supports multi-SMTP server routing for dispatching emails through context-specific outgoing gateways for different operating branches or brand identities. Standardized text blocks including disclaimers, signatures, and operational notes are maintained centrally and injected automatically into email templates and customer notifications.

Reporting & Query Engine

Managing a forwarding network means constant questions. Which shipments are still on customs hold?

Which forwarder accounts have outstanding invoices? Which cargo has been sitting on the floor past its expected

release date? Cybex 3.0 answers every one of these questions without navigating through individual operational queues.

Universal Query Engine

The centralized reporting hub allows your team to run ad-hoc queries across custom release states, unloading flags, reference types, and customer entities from a single workspace. Filter by forwarder, consignee, cargo status, billing state, or document type and get a cross-operational view of your entire network instantly.

Cross-Departmental Data Availability

Because Cybex connects warehouse, dispatch, and finance in one platform, every report reflects the complete operational picture. A query on a forwarder's shipments shows customs status, physical warehouse location, assigned delivery order, and outstanding invoice balance simultaneously.
