The price is a guess.
Quotes go out on gut feel, and you only find out if a load made money once the month closes — if you find out at all.
Danube TMS
Run every load — don't just track it.
The quote, the carrier, the paperwork, the invoice: one place for the whole load, from the first inquiry to the money in the bank. Built for freight forwarders and road carriers who want to move more without hiring more.
Sound familiar?
Freight doesn't fall apart on the road. It falls apart between the tools.
The load lives in ten places.
The inquiry's in email, the carrier's on WhatsApp, the price is in a spreadsheet, and the status is in someone's head.
More loads means more staff.
Every extra shipment is more copying, chasing, and re-typing — so growth costs you a new hire every time.
One flow, start to finish
From inquiry to paid — in one place.
Every load moves through the same path, and nothing slips between steps because there's nowhere for it to slip to.

What changes for you
Less time on the busywork. More margin you can actually see.
Quote with confidence
Stop pricing on gut feel.
Danube prices a load from your own history and the day's real numbers, so you know your margin before you send the quote — not after the month closes. Your client sees a clean price; your carrier cost stays yours.

Everything on the load
One screen instead of ten tabs.
The inquiry, the carrier chat, the documents, the invoice, and who's responsible — all on the load itself. Anyone can pick it up and see exactly where it stands, without asking around.

Grow without the headcount
Handle more loads with the same team.
The repetitive work — posting to exchanges, reading supplier invoices, chasing follow-ups — runs on its own in the background. So when volume doubles, your back office doesn't have to.

Questions
What freight desks ask before switching.
Which freight exchanges does it connect to?
TimoCom, 123cargo, Trans.eu, and more, on the Enterprise plan. You post and manage loads from one screen, and the freight bot browser extension threads exchange messages straight onto the matching load.
Does the pricing engine work for our lanes?
It prices road transport for both client and carrier, and it learns from your own lane history rather than a generic table — so the more you quote, the sharper it gets. It's part of the Enterprise plan.
Can we issue invoices from inside Danube?
Yes. Client invoices generate straight from the order through your invoicing provider's API, and supplier invoices are read and matched to the right order automatically. Accounting and invoicing come in on the Growth plan.
Are the transport orders legally signable?
Orders are sent by email and come back with a timestamped e-signature — no printing or scanning. Order sending and signature collection are part of the Enterprise plan.
Can we move our carriers and clients over?
Yes. Import your carrier and client lists from Excel or CSV with column mapping. The preset boards — clients, carriers, fleet, requests, orders, leads — are ready from day one on every plan.
How is this different from the CRM?
Same platform, built for freight. The TMS adds what a forwarder actually needs — the pricing engine, exchange integrations, the freight bot — that a generic CRM doesn't carry.
Beyond the default
Your desk doesn't work like everyone else's. It doesn't have to.
When your process needs something off the standard path, we build it — custom boards, custom automations, custom integrations.
