Your systems.Our systems.Connected.
From your Shopify store to NZ Customs, from your Xero ledger to ocean carrier booking systems — Freight Direct operates a deeply connected technology stack. Orders flow in, cargo moves, declarations lodge, tracking updates push back. All automated. No spreadsheets. No re-keying.
We also build and manage bespoke integrations in-house — connecting your ERP, POS, or internal systems directly to ours, with a live event portal so you can see exactly what's happening across every data flow.
Your store. Your accounts.
All in one warehouse.
Our cloud WMS connects natively to over 180 platforms. When you come to us for 3PL warehousing, you don't rebuild your tech stack — we connect to what you already use. Orders import automatically, inventory syncs in real time, tracking numbers push back to your store the moment a label prints.
Selling across Shopify, Amazon, and TradeMe at once? All three feed the same pick queue, from the same inventory pool. Returns flow back in. Accounting stays clean. You get one view of your stock, wherever it sells.

One freight system.
Connected to everything.
Our freight management system runs on a single global database — every shipment, every declaration, every carrier booking, every invoice in one place. It connects electronically to customs authorities, ocean carriers, airlines, and port systems worldwide. That means faster clearances, fewer errors, and real-time visibility across your entire supply chain.
Customs & Government
Direct electronic lodgement with NZ Customs, MPI biosecurity, and border systems. Import and export declarations filed and confirmed in real time — no re-keying, no delays at the border.
Ocean Carriers
Live rate access, electronic booking, VGM submission, and sailing schedule sync across major ocean carriers. Bookings confirmed direct — no email chains, no manual entry.
Airlines & Air Freight
Real-time AWB data exchange, e-booking, and status updates with major airlines. Air cargo capacity visible and bookable from within our freight system.
Financial & ERP
Two-way sync with accounting and ERP platforms. Invoices, purchase orders, and financial transactions flow automatically — keeping your books and our ops perfectly aligned.
Ports & Terminals
Electronic port community system connections for container tracking, arrival notices, and terminal release — across NZ and key international ports.
Faster customs clearance
Electronic lodgement directly to NZ Customs and MPI means declarations process in minutes, not hours. Your cargo moves faster.
Fewer errors, less cost
Data flows system-to-system. No re-keying between your systems and ours means fewer mistakes and no double-handling charges.
End-to-end visibility
From booking confirmation to customs clearance to delivery — every milestone in one place, visible to you through your client portal.
We connect you to us.
In-house. Managed.
If your system isn't already in our network, we build the integration ourselves. Our in-house development team scopes, builds, tests, and manages bespoke connections between your ERP, POS, inventory system, or ordering platform and our WMS and freight systems.
No third-party middleware you don't control. No black-box API vendors. We own the integration end-to-end, which means we can fix issues fast, adapt to changes in your system, and guarantee the data flows correctly.
Every integration we manage comes with a live event portal — a real-time log of every order received, every stock update pushed, every declaration lodged, every webhook fired. You can see exactly what's happening across your data flows at any time.

End-to-end testing in a staging environment. We don't go live until every edge case is handled.
