CargoWise integration

Booking and collection,
on top of CargoWise.

FreightReserve plugs into CargoWise using native Universal Shipment and Universal Event messaging. Your shipments load in automatically, customs status keeps cargo gated until it is cleared, and customers get self-service booking and collection on top, with no double entry.

The double-entry problem

Great records,
no front door.

CargoWise runs your operation, but it was never meant to be a self-service booking and collection counter for your customers. Bolt-on spreadsheets and manual updates mean data gets keyed twice and statuses never reach the people collecting.

01

Data keyed twice

Shipments and statuses entered in CargoWise get re-keyed into a booking sheet, wasting time and inviting errors.

02

Systems drift apart

Manual updates mean CargoWise and your booking sheet quickly disagree.

03

No customer self-service

Customers cannot book or collect against your CargoWise data without calling your team.

04

Status stuck in CargoWise

Customs and arrival updates sit in CargoWise and never reach the people collecting.

05

No single audit trail

Events split across systems make it hard to reconstruct what happened.

How the integration works

Pushed in,
kept in step.

CargoWise sends shipments and status updates over Universal messaging, and FreightReserve turns them into a self-service booking and collection front end.

  1. 01

    CargoWise sends the shipment

    A Universal Shipment is pushed to FreightReserve as cargo is created.

  2. 02

    Loads and pack lines created

    Each consignment becomes a load, a container or air waybill, and its pack lines, mapped to the right warehouse.

  3. 03

    Customers book online

    Customers self-select collection slots against the live cargo, with no calls to your team.

  4. 04

    Customs status syncs

    A Universal Event updates the cargo as cleared, held or conditional clear, gating release automatically.

  5. 05

    Paid before release

    Charges are calculated in FreightReserve and settled online before collection.

  6. 06

    Released on slot

    Self-service collection completes, with a gate pass and release document generated.

  7. 07

    Status flows through

    Arrived, available, in storage and released, all tracked across the lifecycle.

Built to connect

CargoWise and FreightReserve, in step.

The capabilities that turn your CargoWise data into a self-service booking and collection front end.

01

Native Universal messaging

Connect over CargoWise Universal Shipment and Universal Event, not a brittle custom feed.

02

Shipments load automatically

Universal Shipment data becomes loads and pack lines, mapped to the right site, with no manual entry.

03

Live customs status

Cleared, held, conditional-clear, inspecting and pending updates sync in to gate release.

04

Air and sea

Air waybills and sea containers handled side by side, matched by house bill.

05

One source of truth

Booking and collection sit on top of your CargoWise data, always in step.

06

Full audit trail

Every load, status change and release recorded.

Works with more than CargoWise

Beyond CargoWise too. Same platform.

Beyond the native CargoWise messaging, a secure REST API connects FreightReserve to warehouse and transport management systems and customer portals, so booking and collection sit cleanly on top of whatever else you run.

Integration questions

Common questions

Everything you need to know about FreightReserve. Still curious? Talk to us.

How does FreightReserve integrate with CargoWise?
Through CargoWise native Universal messaging. CargoWise sends Universal Shipment data, which becomes loads and pack lines in FreightReserve, and Universal Event updates, which keep customs status current.
Does it support air and sea freight?
Yes. Shipments are matched by house bill, so air waybills and sea containers are both handled through the same integration.
Does customs status come through automatically?
Yes. Universal Event updates such as cleared, held, conditional clear, inspecting and pending sync in and gate release accordingly.
Does it remove double data entry?
Yes. Shipment and status data flow in from CargoWise automatically, so your team does not re-key it into a booking sheet.
Can customers book against our CargoWise cargo?
Yes. Once a shipment loads in, customers self-select collection slots against it, without calling your team.
Where are storage charges calculated?
In FreightReserve, from your configured rates, and collected online before release. The CargoWise feed brings the cargo and its status in, while FreightReserve handles booking, charging and collection on top.
Does it only work with CargoWise?
No. A secure REST API connects to WMS, TMS and customer portals too, so it fits whatever else you run.
