About Sprinter3000

The Dutch cloud TMS for freight forwarders.

Sprinter3000 is a modular cloud TMS for freight forwarders and transport companies, built by Cargo Data Systems BV in Oud Gastel, the Netherlands. The company was founded in 1991 and has been running the Sprinter 2000 and Sprinter 3000 platforms for logistics customers for more than twenty years. The platform covers road, sea and air freight, customs declarations and warehouse management, with modules for groupage and consolidation, multi-branch operations, a customer portal, complaints and claims handling, billing and purchase-invoice checking.

Documents such as CMR, AWB and Bill of Lading sit on each shipment, and multimodal missions keep every leg's carrier, cost and document type visible. The modular setup means each forwarder only pays for the modules they actually use: a road-only carrier picks a different set than a multimodal forwarder running customs and warehouse alongside.

What your Sprinter3000 data is for

What you get once Sprinter3000 is connected.

Forwarder reporting

Margin per shipment, customer and lane in one picture, not separate Sprinter3000 reports.

  • Shipment margin (sell rate minus carrier and handling cost) per customer and lane
  • Carrier performance with on-time, claims and cost variance
  • DSO per customer with payment behaviour by lane

Cross-system automation

Connect Sprinter3000 events with the rest of the back office.

  • Shipment invoices and carrier costs flow into your accounting
  • New customer in CRM creates the matching Sprinter3000 customer
  • Inbound carrier invoice matched against the Sprinter3000 cost line

AI workflows

Use shipment history to coach the next quote and the next routing call.

  • Carrier scoring on margin, claims and on-time performance
  • Quotation pricing suggestion against last quarter's lane margin
  • Stuck-shipment risk based on transit-status patterns

Custom apps on your data

Internal tools on Sprinter3000 data for ops managers and account managers.

  • Lane-margin board with current quarter against last
  • Account-manager workbench with customer profitability
  • Carrier scorecard for the next contract review

Real business questions

Answers you will finally get.

Which customers are quietly costing us margin instead of making it?

Shipment margin (sell rate minus buy rate minus claim cost) ranked per shipper, rolling twelve months. The volume customers and the margin customers are usually not the same list, and the bid sheet for next year's contract talks moves with that finding.

Where on our lane network is profit collapsing?

Margin per origin-destination pair, with carrier mix and customs cost broken out. Tells the operations team whether it is a rate problem (renegotiate with the carrier), a customs problem (declaration friction) or a customer-mix problem (specific shippers squeezing the rate).

Which carriers eat their margin in claims?

Settled claims per carrier as a share of revenue routed to that carrier, rolling twelve months. The headline rate looks fine on each carrier; the post-claim margin tells a different story, in time for the next contract review.

Value for everyone in the organisation

Where each function gets value.

For finance leaders

Shipment margin, DSO and customer profitability tied to Sprinter3000 data. Quotation pricing uses last quarter's actual lane margin instead of the standard mark-up sheet.

For sales leaders

Customer-level profit and lane mix exposed alongside booking history. Account managers come into the renewal call with concrete profitability per customer.

For operations

Carrier performance, customs compliance and stuck-shipment signals on one board. Routing decisions get made on data, before the claim arrives.

Ideas

What you can automate with Sprinter3000.

Pair with Exact Online

Flow Sprinter3000 invoices and carrier costs into Exact Online

Sprinter3000 outgoing invoices and incoming carrier costs post to Exact Online with customer, VAT and lane coding aligned. The forwarder matches per-shipment margin against the booked ledger reality, instead of running two reconciliations every month-end.

Pair with HubSpot

Tie HubSpot deals to Sprinter3000 shipments

HubSpot deals for new shippers carry through to Sprinter3000 customer creation with sales-stage history attached. The first booking under a new contract closes the deal, and the lane mix that the salesperson promised becomes visible against what the customer actually books.

Pair with Microsoft Outlook

Thread Outlook conversations onto Sprinter3000 files

Email exchanges with shippers, carriers and customs brokers attach to the matching Sprinter3000 shipment file by reference number. The full communication history sits inside the warehouse next to the file, so file-level effort and customer churn signals become measurable.

Pair with Microsoft SharePoint

Tie Sprinter3000 files to SharePoint document folders

CMR, AWB and Bill of Lading documents stored in SharePoint link back to the matching Sprinter3000 shipment file by reference. The forwarder finds proof-of-delivery and customs paperwork by shipment, instead of hunting through year-folders.

Your existing tools

Your data lands in a warehouse. Your BI tools read from it.

You keep the reporting tool you already have. We connect it to the warehouse where your Sprinter3000 data lives.

Three steps

From Sprinter3000 to answers in three steps.

01

Connect securely

OAuth authentication. Read-only by default. We sign a DPA and your admin keeps the keys.

02

Land in your warehouse

Data flows into your warehouse on your schedule. Near real time or nightly, your call. You own the data.

03

Reporting, automation, AI

We build the first dashboard, workflow or AI feature with you, then hand over the keys. Or we stay on for ongoing delivery.

Two ways to work with us

Pick the track that fits how you work.

Track 01

Self-serve

We set up the foundation. Your team builds on top.

  • Sprinter3000 connector configured and running
  • Warehouse set up in your cloud account
  • Clean access for your Power BI, Fabric or Tableau team
  • Documentation on what's in the data model
  • Sync monitoring so you're warned before reports break

Best fit Teams that already have a BI analyst or data engineer and want to own the build.

Track 02

Done for you

We build the whole thing, end to end.

  • Everything in Self-serve
  • Dashboards built to the questions your team actually asks
  • Automations between your systems
  • AI workflows scoped to real tasks your team runs
  • Custom apps where a dashboard does not cut it
  • Ongoing delivery at a pace that fits your team

Best fit Teams without in-house BI or dev capacity. You tell us what you need and we deliver it.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.

How does the data behave when a shipment uses multiple modes (sea-air, sea-road)?

Each mode segment lands as its own leg with carrier, cost and document type, while the parent shipment keeps the full chain visible. Margin and on-time performance can be queried per leg or per shipment, so multimodal switches stop being a black box.

If our subscription only covers some modules (road, no sea), do we still get useful data?

Yes. The connector pulls whatever the subscription includes. A road-only forwarder gets road shipments, customers, carriers and invoices in the warehouse; a multimodal forwarder gets the full picture. The data model adapts to the subscribed modules.
