Third-party logistics (3PL) partnerships are essential for freight forwarders and logistics providers looking to scale quickly and serve new regions without building their warehouses. But when it comes to managing data between CargoWise and external 3PL warehouse management systems (WMS), the process can get messy.

Different systems. Different formats. Delays in order confirmations. Stock mismatches. Missing tracking updates.

That’s exactly where IntegrationGo steps in, offering a simple, reliable way to bridge the gap between your internal operations and external warehouse partners.

Let’s explore how IntegrationGo takes the complexity out of 3PL integration with CargoWise and turns it into a smooth, automated flow.

Why is 3PL Integration So Important in Logistics Today?

When a freight forwarder works with a 3PL, you rely on their systems to:

  • Receive stock
  • Pick and pack orders
  • Dispatch goods
  • Send back inventory and tracking updates

But if your WMS and CargoWise don’t communicate automatically, your team ends up chasing emails, manually entering updates, and risking critical delays in the supply chain. This increases cost, effort, and customer dissatisfaction.

Seamless integration ensures data moves in both directions, in real time, and that your team always has access to accurate, up-to-date warehouse information.

What Makes 3PL Integration Challenging?

3PLs use a wide range of WMS platforms or custom-built systems. Each system speaks a different language.

Without a standard API or a flexible integration framework, connecting these systems to CargoWise can be technically complex, requiring:

  • Data transformation and mapping
  • Validation rules (e.g., order quantities, SKU formats, delivery windows)
  • Secure and scalable communication channels (like EDI, JSON API, XML, etc.)
  • Continuous monitoring and error handling

It’s not just about connecting systems, it’s about making sure they understand each other clearly.

So, How Does IntegrationGo Make It Simple?

At IntegrationGo, we don’t just connect systems, we deliver fully managed, logistics-specific integration solutions. Here’s how we simplify the process of integrating 3PL WMS platforms with CargoWise:

1. One-Stop Integration Service

We handle the entire process, from discovery and scoping to development and support. You don’t need to hire in-house developers or deal with multiple vendors.

2. Pre-Built Connectors and Custom Mappings

Whether your 3PL uses a leading WMS or a legacy platform, we offer ready-made adapters and build custom data maps to match your unique workflows and data fields.

3. Real-Time Data Flow

Our integration ensures real-time updates for:

  • Stock receipts
  • Order dispatches
  • Inventory status
  • Delivery confirmations
  • Returns and cancellations

That means you always have live visibility in CargoWise without delay.

4. Secure, Scalable Infrastructure

We use secure APIs, EDI frameworks, and file-based exchanges to support both real-time and batch data transfers, based on what your 3PL prefers.

5. Validation & Monitoring

Every piece of data goes through automated validation checks before entering your system. If anything fails, our error alerts notify your team instantly, keeping your operations clean and consistent.

What Types of Data Are Integrated Between WMS and CargoWise?

IntegrationGo enables end-to-end visibility by automating key workflows between 3PL systems and CargoWise, such as:

  • Inbound Notifications (ASNs or GRNs)
  • Pick and Pack Confirmations
  • Inventory Adjustments
  • Order Shipment Confirmations
  • Serial Number or Batch Tracking
  • Warehouse Stock Transfers

This way, your warehouse transactions and freight jobs in CargoWise always stay connected.

Who Can Benefit from IntegrationGo’s 3PL Integration?

This solution is ideal for:

  • Freight forwarders using CargoWise as their TMS or ERP
  • Companies working with multiple 3PL providers
  • Logistics teams are looking for real-time visibility of warehouse transactions
  • CFOs who want cleaner inventory data and faster billing
  • Operations managers are tired of fixing data mismatches manually

Whether you're working with one warehouse or ten, this integration scales as you grow.

Conclusion

As logistics becomes faster and more data-driven, 3PL integration is no longer optional, it’s expected. Customers want accurate updates, finance teams want reliable billing data, and operations teams want less friction in the workflow.

With IntegrationGo, you get a trusted solution that connects CargoWise with your 3PL systems without the complexity, so your team can focus on moving freight, not fixing files.
