What it is

CargoWise is a logistics operations platform for organizations such as global freight forwarders and third-party logistics providers. It brings freight forwarding, customs, warehousing, and transport planning together, covering multiple freight modes and work across borders. Forwarding tools include capacity planning, rate management, vessel booking, and last-mile trucking; customs workflows manage import and export declarations and connect with authorities and regulatory systems. Warehouse and transport functions cover inventory, loads, routes, alerts, and ETA updates. Built-in connections link customers, partners, carriers, and government systems, while AirlineConnect connects to airline systems for shipment details, pricing, capacity, flight information, eBookings, and status updates. Denied Party Screening checks more than 1,300 blacklist databases and logs results for audit and reporting. Customers can report incidents through a 24/7 eRequest system, and CargoWise Learning offers free online training. Listed transaction charges vary by service: the eCommerce Value Pack is $0.20, paid once, while several listed packs are $9.95, paid once. User access and standard cloud hosting are included in the Value Pack; optional services have separate monthly charges.
