Stakeholder Flow
Consignee / BCO
Run procurement-to-shipment collaboration with forwarders in one AI-assisted workspace—RFQ, standard PO creation with operating-forwarder selection, and shipment linkage—with optional ERP ingestion where your plan supports it.
Owner-led RFQ is distinct from forwarder-led RFQ: as owner, you choose the forwarder list and broadcast from your procurement flow.
Core Capabilities
- Own RFQs from the consignee or BCO side and broadcast to one or many freight forwarders already in Waka
- Create and manage standard purchase orders under your chosen operating forwarder—with partner relationships and origin rules applied automatically
- Master PO and Sub-PO desk remain freight-forwarder-led; consignees create standard POs only (not master/sub-PO splits)
- Optional ERP / FTP / API PO ingestion where your plan includes integrations, coordinated with your forwarder in one workspace
- Manage PO lifecycle and shipment linkage with AI-surfaced dependency and exception signals
- Compare offers with shipment and landed-cost context enriched by operational data
- Track booking, milestone progress, and delivery exceptions with intelligent alerts
- Keep procurement, logistics, and finance aligned on one AI-connected view
- Ask operational questions in plain language; AI retrieves RFQs, POs, bookings, and exceptions from live data before summarizing next steps
