Koda - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Koda is a cloud-based freight management platform built for UK freight forwarders managing sea and air shipments across the full shipment lifecycle. Hosted on AWS infrastructure in the EU (London region) with TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, and full tenant data isolation, Koda consolidates quoting, document processing, customs submission, tracking, and invoicing into a single platform.

An AI-powered OCR pipeline extracts structured data from shipping documents — MAWBs, HBLs, MBLs, HAWBs, commercial invoices, packing lists, and delivery orders — the moment they are uploaded or arrive via each shipment's dedicated email address. Extracted fields include shipper, consignee, bill numbers, weights, and dates, with per-document confidence scoring. Field and bill number formats adjust automatically by shipment mode (sea or air). Customs import declarations are prepared and submitted directly to HMRC CDS from the shipment screen, with commodity code confirmation built into the workflow. Freight and duty invoice lines populate from quotes, and invoices can be generated, sent, and tracked without spreadsheets. Real-time traffic-light status tracking surfaces overdue ETAs and missing documents automatically, while automated alerts notify the right people of approaching ETAs, outstanding commodity codes, and document gaps. Overseas agents upload documents directly into the shipment file via a shared link, and a branded customer portal provides self-service shipment tracking, document access, and proof-of-delivery confirmation.

Koda is priced on shipment volume and sized for small and mid-sized forwarding operations where admin capacity constrains growth. Teams are typically fully live within one week, with no lengthy implementation process or per-transaction migration fees.
