CargoWise vs Convoy Platform

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.

Convoy Platform is a freight marketplace where brokers and trusted carriers match and execute freight. Brokers can automate carrier negotiation, vetting, booking, tracking, status updates, document management, and payouts, while remaining the broker of record and responsible for customer relationships and shipment fulfillment. They can sync loads from a transportation management system through integrations or the Convoy Broker API, which supports event-based updates and webhooks. Carriers can find, bid on, and book loads through a free app for iOS and Android or the carrier web portal. Tools include instant booking, lane alerts, backhaul search, GPS fleet tracking, and in-app bill of lading submissions. Payment options include same-day, two-day, or 30-day terms, including QuickPay. The platform currently supports single-driver full truckload dry van, refrigerated, and flatbed freight, with live loading and unloading required. Carriers need active USDOT authority and applicable permits; interstate shipments require an active MC number, and safety rating or score may affect eligibility. DAT Freight Tech, LLC owns and operates the platform.
