For Freight Forwarders
Your shipments. All of them.
One live view.
Active shipment monitoring for forwarders managing dozens of concurrent EU cross-border lanes. When a T1 transit document enters a customs hold or an NCTS Phase 5 MRN shows a controlled stop, you know in minutes — not when the consignee calls. Catch exceptions early, communicate proactively, and protect your reputation on delays you didn't cause.
What you get
Built for the forwarder's daily reality
Freight forwarders manage dozens of concurrent shipments across multiple carriers and customs regimes. RouteLyft gives you the visibility your clients expect.
Active shipment dashboard
All your live cross-border shipments in one view, sorted by exception priority. See which shipments need attention — customs holds flagged, ETA deviations beyond threshold, position gaps on the telematics feed — without opening six carrier portals.
Proactive client communication
When a delay happens, you know first. Exception alerts — dispatched via email or webhook in early deployments within minutes of the customs event — give you the lead time to communicate proactively rather than reactively. Based on pilot corridor data, teams caught border delays an average of approximately 4 hours before the consignee called.
Customs hold early warning
NCTS Phase 5 MRN status and T1 transit document events are pulled directly from EU customs APIs. The moment a shipment enters a controlled hold, RouteLyft flags it — not after the carrier updates their portal status hours later. Particularly effective on the DE-PL, DE-CZ, and DE-AT corridors where customs dwell is the primary source of ETA deviation.
Lane performance analytics
90-day shipment history broken down by lane, carrier, and border crossing. Compare average dwell times per crossing, identify which lanes have chronic customs hold patterns, and bring objective transit-time data to carrier SLA negotiations.
