In the modern logistics landscape, customers demand visibility. They want to know not only where their cargo is but also the status of the paperwork that controls it. CargoWise documentation integrates seamlessly with the platformโs customer portal, providing clients with real-time access to their documents. Instead of waiting for a forwarder to manually email an invoice or an arrival notice, clients can download these documents directly from the portal. This transparency fosters trust, reduces the volume of status inquiry emails, and elevates the overall customer service experience.
Drag-and-drop functionality allows operators to save supplier PDFs, packing photos, and email correspondences directly to the job.
Integrated directly with IATA standards, the platform formats House Air Waybills (HAWB) and supports electronic Air Waybills (e-AWB) to reduce paper handling at airport terminals.
