Everything Orin does
One platform to run a road-transport or forwarding business: take the order, plan the work, give the driver the trip, prove delivery, invoice the customer, and let the customer follow the load — without re-typing anything between the steps. It works for carriers running their own trucks and for forwarders coordinating subcontractors.
The basics you use every day
- Fast order entry — manual with autocomplete, or AI from email and PDF.
- Visual planning board — truck, trailer and driver on a drag-and-drop timeline.
- Driver app with proof of delivery — photos and signature, offline-capable.
- Invoicing from the delivery — in legally compliant electronic formats.
- Customer tracking and self-service — a link, or a full portal.
- Live margin — revenue, cost and margin per trip, shipment, customer and department.
Order intake & AI
Get orders in fast, however they arrive.
- AI order entry from email & PDF, with a confidence score and source link on every field.
- Manual entry with history-based autocomplete and Google address completion.
- Inbox review queue, AI rate-card import, bulk CSV, and a partner API / EDI.
Planning & execution
Plan the work and replan when reality changes.
- Drag-and-drop resource board with conflict detection, a separate shipment board, and an interactive map with live ETA based on the driver's position.
- Multi-leg and multi-modal across road, sea, air, rail and barge, with consolidation.
- Routing-rules engine, transport corridors, and in-flight replanning with cost preview.
Dispatch — own fleet, carriers & agents
Send the work to whoever runs it.
- Own-fleet dispatch straight to the driver app.
- Carrier dispatch with an inline price table, sent as a branded email.
- Agent dispatch with batch grouping and a no-login share link for status and POD.
Driver app & proof of delivery
Everything the driver needs, on the phone.
- A web app that works on any smartphone — nothing to install — plus a native iOS app for drivers who prefer one.
- Stop-by-stop navigation, five POD photo types plus signature, all timestamped and located.
- Offline-first with auto-sync, exception reporting, driver CMR, and phone-number + PIN login.
- AI proof-of-delivery reading — signed CMRs and POD documents are read automatically for references, dates and exceptions, with nothing to re-type.
Fleet & equipment
Track every vehicle and unit.
- Vehicle registry with status and trip assignment.
- Containers, chassis, trailers and swap-bodies with mounting chains and reservations.
- Compliance dates — certificates, ADR, calibration and inspection — with expiry alerts.
Costs, margin & pricing
Know your margin before the truck rolls.
- Cost and revenue lines with auto-pricing from versioned rate templates.
- Per-leg and per-department margin, internal transfers, and toll cost by route.
- Vendor bill reconciliation, multi-currency, revenue recognition, disputes and credit control.
- AI vendor-bill ingestion — forward a carrier or supplier invoice and Orin reads the lines and matches them to the trip, flagging differences before you pay.
Invoicing, e-invoicing & accounting
From completed trip to compliant invoice.
- Invoice from the shipment with per-entity branding, numbering and credit notes.

Customer self-service & tracking
Let customers follow the load themselves.
- Public tracking links — no login, optional PIN, with visibility tiers and live ETA; one click sends a branded order confirmation with that link to the customer.
- A full customer & partner portal: shipments, invoices, rates, equipment and more.
- One source of truth — the customer-agreed pickup/delivery, not the internal route.

Honest scope
What Orin is: an order-to-invoice platform for carriers and forwarders — order intake (incl. AI), planning & dispatch, driver execution & POD, costing, margin & pricing, invoicing & multi-format e-invoicing, customs & compliance, customer self-service, cross-dock, scheduled services, and an optional accounting ledger.
What Orin is not: a freight marketplace or load board, a telematics/GPS hardware platform, or a full warehouse management system (it has cross-dock, not a full WMS).
Where Orin stands out: AI order processing that turns order emails and PDF attachments into a draft shipment, AI rate-card import, e-invoicing that's live today in six legal formats, one-click order confirmations with a tracking link to your customer, an extensive drag-and-drop resource and shipment planning board with an interactive map and live ETA, and live margin per trip — including automatically calculated tolls and German Maut.
