Quote accurately.
Cost every shipment.
Catch overbills.
The cost-and-tariff toolkit for Indian freight forwarders and CHAs. Carrier-published freight, local charges, demurrage & detention, transit times and total landed cost — across 10 shipping lines and 196 countries, in ₹. Start free with a demurrage invoice check.
Carriers overbill D&D. It’s not an accident.
Detention & demurrage is built into how carriers make money. The invoice lands weeks late, references an opaque tariff, and most forwarders just pay it.
Turn rate work into client-ready quotes.
