The Problem

Your Ops Team Is the Integration Layer

Freight forwarding runs on documents, data entry, and manual coordination. Most "automation" in logistics is just a dashboard on top of the same broken process. The real problem isn't visibility — it's that humans are still the glue between systems.

300-page PDFs processed by hand

Ops teams spend hours every morning splitting, reading, and re-keying data from supplier document bundles into spreadsheets before it touches the TMS.

Quotes that take hours, not minutes

Rate lookups, margin calculations, and quote formatting are manual and repetitive. Every slow response is a deal lost to a faster competitor.

Systems that don't talk to each other

Data sits in CargoWise, carrier portals, email inboxes, and spreadsheets. Moving it between systems is a full-time job for multiple people.

New suppliers = engineering effort

Every new supplier means new document formats, new mappings, new edge cases. Onboarding a supplier shouldn't require a developer.

Why CargoIQ

A SaaS Seat Fits Their Workflow. We Build Around Yours.

You Own It

No subscription. No vendor lock-in. No price hike when you scale. The system we build is yours — deployed in your environment, maintained on your terms.

Your Stack, Not Ours

Your TMS. Your CargoWise instance. Your carrier portals. We integrate with the systems you already run — not the ones we decided to support.

Your Edge Cases, Built In

Every freight forwarder has lanes, suppliers, and document formats that don't fit a template. We build those in from day one — not as an afterthought.

What They Say

From Ops Teams Running Our Systems

Verified Client
"CargoIQ replaced what would have taken us 6 months of internal development. The 4PL control tower system processes our 300-page document batches with near-zero failure — something we couldn't achieve manually."

Processing 200+ documents daily via automated pipeline

Operations Director

Hellmann Worldwide Logistics

"The AI document filtering alone cut our processing costs in half. We went from hours of manual data entry to fully automated CargoWise integration in under 12 weeks."

12-week implementation, fully automated CargoWise integration

IT Manager

European Freight Forwarder (500+ employees)

"What sets CargoIQ apart is that they built around our systems, not theirs. Our CargoWise instance, our supplier formats, our validation rules — all custom, all ours to own."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 4PL control tower automation?
A 4PL control tower automation system monitors all incoming shipment documents, extracts structured data from invoices, AWBs, and packing lists, validates the data against your business rules, and pushes it directly into your TMS — replacing the manual reading, sorting, and data entry your ops team currently performs for every shipment.
Does CargoIQ integrate with CargoWise?
Yes. The system we built for Hellmann Worldwide Logistics pushes clean XML directly into CargoWise via the eHub and Universal Gateway APIs. We also integrate with SAP TM, Oracle TMS, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Descartes.
Is CargoIQ a SaaS product?
No. We build custom AI systems deployed in your environment — not a SaaS seat. You own the system outright with no recurring subscription. This means the system is built for your TMS, your suppliers, your document formats, and your business rules — not a generic workflow that requires your operations to conform to it.
How long does implementation take?
Typically 8–14 weeks from kickoff to production. Discovery and audit takes 2 weeks, build and training takes 6–8 weeks, and UAT and production deployment takes 2–4 weeks. We deploy with a 30-day hypercare period.
What freight operations can be automated?
Document processing (invoices, AWBs, packing lists, customs forms), freight quoting (RFQ intake, rate comparison, quote generation), sea freight operations (booking, BL processing, container tracking, demurrage monitoring), air freight operations (AWB processing, flight tracking, DG documentation), invoice processing (extraction, 3-way matching, overcharge detection), and 3PL/4PL multi-client workflow management.
