Made to measure

Shape any workflow in your forwarding office

Each person picks a dashboard for their role, then adds, removes and reorders the cards. The AWB workbench opens the way each desk likes. Export, import, consolidation, dangerous goods, new customers and month-end billing start as ready checklists that you change, and you can add your own.

  • Dashboards suggested for each role, then changed card by card
  • Workbench layouts for entry, follow-up or the full view
  • Task checklists with your own steps and order

Kaede: from the enquiry to payday

A whole freight forwarder, in one system

Kaede is more than air waybills and rates. It runs the whole office: the quote, the booking, the pickup, the flight, the delivery at the door, the invoice, and the people who do the work.

  1. 01QuoteA quote request or a chat becomes a case, priced from your rate cards
  2. 02BookingThe shipment is booked, with an air waybill from your own stock
  3. 03PickupA pickup order goes to a driver from the dispatch board
  4. 04Air waybillMaster, house or door to door, with its documents and package list
  5. 05Flight and statusStatus updates, and messages to the airline and to partner agents
  6. 06DeliveryDelivered at the door, with cash on delivery collected
  7. 07BillingInvoiced, and sent to CAS360 for the accounts
  8. 08People and paydayDuty board, attendance, leave and payroll for the team

Five ways in

Every road leads to an air waybill

Start where your work starts. Kaede carries over what it already knows, so nobody types the same details twice.

1
Blank formAir waybill

Start a master, house or door-to-door air waybill from scratch. Master numbers come from the airline's AWB stock.

2
QuoteAir waybill

An accepted quote becomes an air waybill with the goods, pieces, weights, dimensions and route already in. The quote is marked converted.

3
BookingAir waybill

A booking becomes a master, house or door-to-door air waybill, with all five parties, the goods, pieces, weights and route carried over.

4
Commercial invoicePacking listAir waybill

The invoice and the packing list share their goods lines. From the invoice, one click makes a house or door-to-door air waybill with the parties, invoice number and date.

5
Customer or earlier shipmentAir waybill

"New like this" starts from an earlier air waybill, and you tick what carries over. Or pick the shipper, and Kaede offers their recent shipments to fill the rest.

Everything Kaede runs

Kaede: rates and routes

From Kathmandu to a door abroad, in one quote

Nepal has no sea port, so a shipment often goes by road, then rail, then sea. Kaede keeps the rates for every leg and joins them into one route. You see each leg, its carrier and its price, and the total.

  • Rates for air, sea, road and rail, from your airlines, shipping lines, trucking and rail partners
  • Through routes from a dry port to a door, priced leg by leg
  • A through route is ranked against air and road in the same search
  • Quote to a whole country, and Kaede tries every gateway

AI in both systems

Type a question the way you would ask a colleague. Small spelling mistakes are fine. Each system answers from your own records and shows how it read your question.

Our goal

Take Nepal's offices off paper

Much of Nepal's business still runs on paper: bill books with carbon copies, a register for every shipment and every ticket, ledgers written by hand, and the same figures copied out again for the VAT return. We want that work done once, on a computer or a phone, and kept safe. Every product we make is a step towards it.

  • On paperA bill book with carbon copies NowBills printed and sent to the IRD from the software
  • On paperA handwritten register for every shipment NowEvery air waybill in one place, found in seconds
  • On paperLedgers written by hand NowLedgers that update as each bill is entered
  • On paperFigures copied out again for the VAT return NowRegisters in IRD's format, ready when you need them
