Freight forwarding, from quote to customs to invoice.
An Odoo module that runs a freight forwarder's entire job lifecycle across land, sea, and air, on one record.
Overview
Freight forwarders juggle multi-leg journeys, pallet-level costing, customs and VAT calculations, and buy-versus-sell margins across disconnected tools. This Knova module centralises it all on a single Job Order, with lifecycle stages, customs and demurrage engines, rate cards, and a live profitability dashboard, so operations, finance, and management work from one source of truth. It handles UAE-specific needs like Mirsal 2 declarations, Bill of Entry, free-zone tax positions, and TRN out of the box.

Frequently asked questions
Will this plug into the Odoo system we already run, or do we need something separate?
It is a custom module built on Odoo 19 Enterprise, deployed straight into your own Odoo instance rather than a separate app. It sits alongside the Sales, Purchase, Inventory, and Accounting apps you already use, and gets tailored to your lanes, rate cards, and workflows during implementation, not bolted on as a generic add-on.
Does it handle UAE customs paperwork like Mirsal 2 declarations and the Bill of Entry?
Yes, that is built in, not bolted on. The module handles Mirsal 2 declarations, Bill of Entry, free-zone tax positions, and TRN out of the box, with an HS-code master and a customs and VAT engine that computes duty on CIF value and VAT on CIF plus duty automatically.
How long does implementation take, and what will it cost us?
Timelines and cost are scoped to your operation, not sold off a price list — lanes, rate-card complexity, and customs setup all factor in. As a guide, most freight forwarding implementations go live in 6 to 10 weeks. You see it running on your own jobs before you pay anything, and if we miss the date, you walk away.
