CargoWise CarrierConnect

A smarter foundation for carrier decision-making

CargoWise CarrierConnect is a carrier rate discovery and decision-support solution that enables logistics providers to search, compare, and evaluate carrier options in one consistent view, improving visibility, alignment, and decision-making across teams.

Evaluate carrier options faster and earlier

CarrierConnect brings rate decisions forward by making it easier to search and compare carrier options in one place, helping teams move more quickly from evaluation to action, and with greater control over how decisions are made. 

Compare options with full visibility

View key carrier details side by side, including charges, service levels, transit times, and terms, so teams can make better-informed decisions with more clarity and consistency. 

Work from a single source of truth

By consolidating rates from multiple data sources into one unified view, CarrierConnect ensures consistency and alignment across procurement, sales, and operations.
