Scope review
A mature air and ocean forwarding system with broad workflow and customs coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Scope is a cloud-based transport management system from Riege Software International GmbH for freight forwarders, customs brokers, and logistics providers. Its operating scope covers air-freight booking and shipment creation, ocean-freight shipment creation and tracking, quotations, milestones, documents, customs processes, invoicing, and emissions calculation. The product is positioned for companies ranging from small forwarders to large global operators, with particular relevance for established European air and ocean businesses.
Workflow breadth is Scope's main strength. Users can move from quotation to booking, monitor shipment milestones and statuses, create, edit, and archive electronic documents, and manage automated invoicing and cost calculation. Customs declarations and authority interfaces extend the system beyond basic shipment tracking. CO2e emissions calculation per shipment adds a reporting function for operators that need transport-level emissions figures. Together, these capabilities make Scope suitable for forwarders seeking one system across operational, documentation, customs, and financial workflows.
Its ecosystem fit is also substantial. Scope integrates with carrier, port, customs, accounting, warehouse, and external logistics systems, including DAKOSY, Portbase, DBH, TACT, AEB, DATEV, ABACUS, and WMS systems. Access is delivered through an installed Windows or macOS Scope Runtime client, even though the product is described as cloud-based. Pricing follows a contact-sales model rather than published plan tiers. Scope should suit organizations that value broad air and ocean forwarding coverage, European customs connectivity, and mature workflow support. Buyers seeking public self-service pricing, browser-only access, or transport modes beyond its stated air and ocean focus should consider alternatives.
