Everything You Need to Run Logistics Operations

From the first booking to the final invoice, Kani runs your shipments, your fleet, and the money in between — all in one place.

Shipment Management

Run every import and export from booking to final delivery, and never lose track of a container, a bond, or a customer's confidence in you.

  • Stay ahead of demurrage with containers tracked from arrival all the way to return
  • Keep customs bonds and bonded cargo under control, with nothing slipping through the cracks
  • Send customers simple daily updates, so they're never left wondering where their cargo is
  • Catch ETA, discharge, and payment cut-off dates before they turn into a problem — and a penalty
  • Every detail on a shipment — vessel, port, shipping line, Bill of Lading — in one place, not five spreadsheets
  • Confirm delivery the moment cargo reaches its destination, with proof to back it up

Fleet & Trip Management

Run your own trucks and trailers alongside every shipment — assign loads, follow trips from dispatch to delivery, and keep fuel and trip costs under control.

  • Manage your vehicles and trailers, with reminders for licensing, insurance, and other documents
  • Assign full truckloads or shared loose cargo to the right vehicle
  • Track every trip leg by leg, from dispatch to delivery and back
  • Fuel requests routed through approval before a truck is dispensed fuel
  • Trip costs — tolls, driver allowances, repairs, and more — tracked and approved against each trip
  • See the true cost of every job, not just the freight charge

Financial Controls, Payments & Exchange Rates

Run expense approvals, payment recording, and multi-currency controls inside one flow so finance and operations work from the same numbers.

  • Every expense moves through manager review and admin sign-off before it's paid
  • Expenses linked to vendors, customers, or specific shipments
  • Rejection with comments, re-edit and resubmit
  • Partial and full payments with outstanding balance tracking
  • Payment method, reference number, and exchange rate recorded
  • Real-time account balance before confirming payment
  • Automatic rate fetching with manual override and historical lookup
  • Full history from request to payment, including cancellations and audit trail

Quotes & Invoicing

Send customers professional quotes and invoices, get them approved internally, and have them land straight in your accounting system.

  • Quotes and invoices with line items, pricing, and tax built in
  • Internal approval before anything goes out to a customer
  • Branded, customizable document formats
  • Approved quotes and invoices sync automatically to your accounting system

Already have an accounting system? You're already halfway there.

Most logistics software asks you to replace your accounting system entirely; new software, new workflows, and months of retraining your finance team. Kani takes a different approach.

Connect your existing accounting software and your financial data flows automatically — no duplication, no re-entry, no migration. Your finance team keeps doing what they know.

Kani currently integrates with QuickBooks Online, with more accounting systems on the way. Whichever system your finance team relies on, Kani is built to meet you there.

  • Payment methods & bank accounts — pulled from your accounting system, ready to use in Kani
  • Real-time account balance — see your balance before you confirm a payment
  • Quotes & invoices — synced to your accounting system the moment they're approved
  • Customers — kept in sync across both systems automatically
