ACCOUNTING & FINANCE
Freight Forwarding Accounting Software, Built Into the Platform
General ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable and banking reconciliation running inside the same system as your forwarding and customs operations — not a separate finance package to keep in sync.
GL, AP, AR & BANKING
One ledger, not two
Running your accounting separately from your forwarding system means exporting shipment costs from one platform and re-keying them into another, then reconciling the two every month by hand.
Expedient's general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable and banking modules run inside the same platform as your forwarding and customs operations, so a shipment's financials are already there — no second system, no manual reconciliation.
General Ledger
A general ledger that sits inside your forwarding platform, not beside it — every shipment's costs and revenue post straight to the ledger, so your books reflect operations in real time rather than after a month-end export.
Accounts Payable
Track carrier, agent and supplier invoices against the shipment they relate to, approve them in context, and pay from the same platform that created the job — instead of chasing paperwork between two separate systems.
Accounts Receivable
Raise customer invoices directly from shipment and job data, track what's outstanding by client or job, and follow up on payment without re-entering figures into a standalone accounts receivable package.
Banking Reconciliation
Match bank statement lines against the transactions already recorded in your ledger, catch discrepancies early, and close each period with confidence — without exporting statements into a separate accounting tool to check them.
Multi-Currency & FX
Configure exchange rates as a masterfile item and let international shipments post in their original currency while your ledger reports in AUD or NZD — no manual FX conversion between two disconnected systems.
Cost Centres
Set up cost centres as configurable masterfile items to track profitability by branch, department or service line, so management reporting comes straight out of the same system that runs your operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we still need a separate accounting package alongside Expedient?
No. Expedient includes a full general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable and banking reconciliation as standard modules, not an add-on. Because they run inside the same platform as your forwarding and customs operations, shipment costs and revenue post to the ledger without a separate export-and-import step, and there's no second system to license, maintain or reconcile against your operational data every month.
Can Expedient handle multi-currency shipments for AU and NZ operators?
Yes. Exchange rates are a configurable masterfile item, so international shipments can be recorded and invoiced in their original currency while your general ledger reports in AUD or NZD, whichever matches your business. That keeps foreign-currency freight and customs transactions accurate without a manual conversion step or a separate FX spreadsheet sitting outside your accounting records. Because the rate lives in the same masterfile as the rest of your ledger setup, it stays current without a separate update process for every currency you trade in.
How does Expedient handle cost centres and branch-level reporting?
Cost centres are set up as masterfile items, so you can allocate revenue and costs by branch, department or service line as transactions are entered — not reconstructed afterward in a spreadsheet. Because that detail comes from the same ledger that runs your day-to-day forwarding and customs operations, management reporting reflects the business as it actually runs, not a delayed approximation of it.
