"Freight Master gives you independent control of your freight process, letting you create consignment notes, manage pickups, and track progress right through to final delivery from a single work station located in your offices."

Freight Master, Australia's leading computer-run despatch system, comes in two versions: Freight Master Client Version, for larger customers who send higher volumes of consignments and; Freight Master Internet Version for smaller volume users, who do not need all of the functionality provided by the Client version.

Freight Master Client Version
Freight Master Client Version resides on a computer which is part of the client's environment. To suit your specific needs, that can be either a stand-alone PC for manual entry of consignment details or, alternatively, a desktop which is interfaced to a mainframe or LAN system to facilitate automatic uploading of consignment data.

Freight Master software is flexible, working in with your accounting programs and letting you tailor reports to suit your individual needs.
