CargoWise also partners with leading industry bodies, including IATA and global customs authorities, to help transform and ultimately implement new standards for air cargo data exchange processes now, and into the future.

Focus on the right data, at the right time

Advanced AI and machine learning technology gives you an extended view of your supply chain for critical decision-making in the face of major (or minor) trade and supply chain disruption.  

By employing intelligent analytics to help anticipate future events, behaviors and outcomes, you’ll not only be able to easily identify what’s going to happen, you’ll also have access to the knowledge and insights necessary to determine the best course of action.

Powerful data sources you can trust

CargoWise is your single source of data truth - with data cleansed, standardized and consolidated into a single, meaningful data structure.

Advanced data analysis provides users with detailed and accurate incoming data streams, while mitigating potential data flaws by applying algorithms that identify and amend duplicate, non-chronological, incomplete or incorrect data.

"Thanks to the link between CargoWise and the shipping line and airline, files are automatically updated, so it's a gain of time and productivity. It's just a huge advantage to be on the same database and share the data without interfaces"

Unlock visibility of your air operations from origin to destination

Optimize your quote to booking process

When a quote is received, CargoWise generates the cost rate and optimizes this for air and sea by using real-time airline tariffs. Margins and surcharges are pre-populated, and you can choose the most suitable rate and route to maximize your profits. Once the quote is accepted, all information is transferred directly into the booking, without re-keying or re-entering any data.

Automate and streamline your operations - from the first email to final invoice

At every stage of a shipment, completed tasks can automatically close and the system will generate and distribute the updated documentation and EDI, including transport documents, Air Waybills and invoices. CargoWise can also automatically raise exceptions - such as a missed cargo ready date or a flight delay - to keep everyone updated on the cargo's status and minimize delays.
