Who We Are
OAS Freight is part of OAS, a software company focused on developing practical systems for the trade and transportation industry. Our work centers on freight forwarding and logistics operations, with an emphasis on software that supports real-world workflows. From the beginning, our goal has been straightforward: build systems that are reliable, comprehensive, and genuinely usable by the people who rely on them every day.
A long view of freight software
OAS was founded in 1987, at a time when personal computers were just beginning to appear in transportation offices. Early on, OAS developed some of the first PC-based freight forwarding systems used in live operational environments.
Since then, our software has evolved continuously alongside the industry itself. While technology and workflows have changed, the core principles behind OAS Freight have remained consistent: operational clarity, functional depth, and ease of use.
Today, OAS Freight reflects decades of experience in freight forwarding software-combining the capabilities typically associated with much larger platforms with an approach that remains practical and approachable.
Our Focus
OAS specializes in software for U.S.-based organizations involved in freight forwarding, trade, and transportation. Our products are designed to support the operational side of the business, where accuracy, visibility, and follow-through matter most.
OAS Freight is often used as a primary operational system, supporting shipment execution, documentation, status tracking, reporting, and financial workflows. Because of this role, we place a strong emphasis on stability, consistency, and adaptability.
How We Work
We take a deliberate, hands-on approach to product development and support. Rather than building generic solutions, we focus on creating software that can be configured to match how different organizations actually operate.
OAS Freight offers a high degree of flexibility, allowing forwarders to shape their working environment to suit their services, processes, and preferences-without forcing them into rigid structures or unnecessary complexity.
This approach has made the platform particularly effective for organizations that value clarity, responsiveness, and long-term reliability.
Our Philosophy
We believe that good freight software should:
Adapt as operational needs evolve over time
Support the natural flow of operational work
Be comprehensive without becoming burdensome
Remain approachable for new users
Looking ahead
OAS Freight continues to evolve, incorporating new capabilities while remaining grounded in the realities of daily freight operations. Our focus remains on supporting forwarders with software that is dependable, flexible, and built to last.
