CargoSphere vs Freightos

CargoSphere is a cloud-based rate management solution and confidential Rate Mesh network for carriers, freight forwarders, NVOs, and shippers. Its SUDS tool loads static carrier-rate files into the cloud database for in-house contract and rate management. Rate Mesh lets carriers, forwarders, and shippers distribute rates privately to selected partners, with future updates delivered to established connections in real time. Forwarders can search rates from their own contracts, agents, and co-loaders, then build and format quotes in HTML or Excel. The platform supports internal RFQs as well as customer RFQs and guest access to sell rates. Activity tracking and reporting cover response times, win rates, and process bottlenecks. The Quote Module includes tariff publishing and Negotiated Rate Arrangement functions, with duplicate checks intended to support FMC compliance. Listed integrations include CargoWise One and CaroTrans; a carrier API transfers contracts, amendments, and surcharge tariffs. Training, rollout coordination, and managed contract services are available. CargoSphere is a web product with pricing on request.
