Excel Tools for Freight Forwarders
Freight forwarders need one place to control shipment dates, carrier quotes, landed cost, container free days and document readiness. ImportVista provides editable Excel tools for teams that want stronger operational control without immediately moving every workflow into a TMS.
5 daily problems the toolkit helps control
- Shipment visibility: centralize ETA, ETD, BL/AWB/container, status, priority, owner and last update.
- Freight quotation comparison: compare total costs, transit times and quote validity instead of reading offers one by one.
- Landed cost: combine purchase value, freight, duties, taxes and local charges into a total and cost per unit.
- Demurrage and free days: track last free day, equipment return deadlines and estimated charges.
- Document readiness: see what is received, pending, urgent or overdue before customs and delivery deadlines.

When Excel is not enough
If your operation requires live carrier APIs, EDI, automatic event ingestion or deep ERP/TMS integration, dedicated logistics software or a custom integration is more appropriate. ImportVista focuses on structured spreadsheet control, not live carrier connectivity.
