SOLUTIONS/Forwarders

Buy the transport. Know the margin.

Covex keeps the customer, the haulier and the numbers in one shipment: the price from the tariff, the trip with the haulier, the proof coming back and the cost split onto the order.

Hauliers on one side. The customer and the margin on the other.

Hauliers in their own portal

Offered trips are accepted or declined with a reason. PODs and waybills are uploaded to the system, and the settlement shows what has been approved.

The collective invoice split to orders

The supplier invoice is split down to the individual orders, so the cost lands on the shipment it belongs to.

Contribution margin lane by lane

Revenue, cost and DB1 per month, customer, department, forwarder and lane — from the same numbers as the invoice.

The margin, shipment by shipment

The price comes from the tariff, the cost from the haulier and the supplier invoice. Reports put them together per customer and lane. And facts carry their basis with them, so it is always clear whether a number is confirmed, extracted, inferred or predicted.

How a forwarder works in Covex

Choose the haulier on facts

Covex recommends hauliers for a zone based on who delivered on time, the price and your own rating, and says why. The system remembers performance per carrier and lane, and every observation has a source and an expiry.

Quotes and tenders priced by Ingrid

Zones by postcode range, a lane matrix per zone pair and weight band, customer segments A to F and a margin target per segment. Selling below the policy is possible — but only with a reason, an approver and an expiry date.

Cost where it belongs

The haulier's collective invoice is split down to the individual orders, and the settlement is calculated by the resource agreement. Supplier invoices can also come in through the open API.

Customer portal

Customers book for themselves and follow the shipment without calling.

In the customer portal, customers book transport and follow it: status, stops and predicted arrival. Waybills, proofs of delivery and invoices are in the same place. If a delivery slips, the recipient can choose a new time slot.

FAQ

Through the carrier portal. The haulier accepts or declines offered trips with a reason, uploads PODs and waybills, and sees what has been approved for settlement.

Yes. Service levels measure delivery reliability per zone, customer and carrier, with penalties. The system also remembers performance per carrier and lane and uses it when a delivery is at risk.

Ingrid calculates the price from zones, the lane matrix and weight bands, the customer's segment and the margin target. Prices are versioned, so historical orders keep the version they were priced with.

Yes, strategic sales below the policy are possible — but only with a reason, an approver and an expiry date.

As a supplier invoice that is split down to the individual orders. Supplier invoices can also be sent in through the open API.

Yes. In the customer portal they book transport, follow status and predicted arrival, and fetch waybills, proofs of delivery and invoices.

Not yet. Network and capacity exchange is on the way: the data model is in place, but the page is still a placeholder.
