Cargo software from Dahal Tech, a CompTech International company
Air cargo operations, end to end
Kaede runs a whole freight forwarder: air waybills and AWB stock, door-to-door pickups and deliveries, rates for air, sea, road and rail, quotes for your customers, and the team's attendance and payroll. You can ask it about your shipments in plain words.
Six things your team will notice in the first week. Every clip is the real Kaede, recorded with a made-up company.

Smart form assistance
It finishes your typing, from your own shipments
Start typing the goods and Kaede shows the rest in grey, learned from the air waybills your office made before. Press Tab to take it. HS codes are suggested from what you filed before and from the full tariff, and you confirm the code.
Suggestions ranked by your own history and the season

Address autofill
Any address, filled as you type
Pick the country and start typing. A Japanese postcode fills the prefecture, city and area from Japan's postal directory. A US ZIP code fills the city and state. Anywhere else, start typing the city: Kaede knows 151,254 cities in 196 countries. Paste an address written in Japanese and Kaede even proposes it in romaji.

Tamper-evident
An executed AWB is locked. Every change is chained.
Once an air waybill is executed, its routing, rating, declared values and parties are locked. A small correction needs a reason and is kept as an amendment. Every change keeps who, when, before and after, chained with SHA-256, so a quiet edit would show.

Made to measure
Shape Kaede around how your office works
Each person picks a dashboard for their role, then adds, removes and reorders the cards. The AWB workbench opens the way each desk likes. Checklists for export, import, consolidation, dangerous goods, new customers and month-end billing start from ready workflows that you change to fit.

Run your whole freight forwarding business 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.
01QuoteA quote request or a chat becomes a case, priced from your rate cards
02BookingThe shipment is booked, with an air waybill from your own stock
03PickupA pickup order goes to a driver from the dispatch board
04Air waybillMaster, house or door to door, with its documents and package list
05Flight and statusStatus updates, and messages to the airline and to partner agents
06DeliveryDelivered at the door, with cash on delivery collected
07BillingInvoiced, and sent to CAS360 for the accounts
08People and paydayDuty board, attendance, leave and payroll for the team
Type a question the way you would ask a colleague. Kaede answers from your own shipment records, with a chart or a table you can take to Excel.

AWB workbench
Every air waybill on one screen, and a new one in a minute
The workbench lists your masters, houses and door-to-door bills. Pick one to see it as the waybill reads, update its status, print it, or send it to a partner. A new air waybill or a new customer is one form, filled top to bottom.
Filter by master, house, door to door or executed, and search by AWB, shipper or consignee
Update the status of one bill, or of many at once
The owner, follow-ups and partner messages sit beside the bill
A new AWB takes its number from your airline stock. Type the route in one line, like KTM DXB EK2245 04OCT
A new customer, with its address and contact person, in one form
The inbox, a search, and a master AWB opened as its waybill.
A new master AWB from your Emirates stock: route typed in one line, pieces, weight and goods, then saved.
A new customer with its address and contact person, saved into your companies.
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 invoice+Packing 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.
Rates
Rates for air, sea, road and rail
Keep the rates of your airlines, shipping lines, trucking and rail partners in one place. Quote a shipment once and compare every carrier and mode that can move it.
From an airport, seaport, land port or address. Ranked prices with a breakdown, and through routes.
Air, sea FCL and LCL, road FTL and LTL, rail and door to door. A new card is approved before quotes use it.

Your name on every letter. Your sub-agents under one roof.
Design your letterhead once: your name, colours and initials print on every letter and declaration Kaede makes. One Kaede holds several companies, so you can issue air waybills for your sub-agents, and each company keeps its own records and its own letterhead.
