In freight forwarding, time is everything, customer satisfaction and the difference between growth and stagnation. Many logistics businesses today use CargoWise to manage global shipments and a separate TMS (Transport Management System) for domestic or last-mile transportation. But when those two systems don’t talk to each other, your team ends up doing the heavy lifting, manually re-entering data, double-checking bookings, and chasing updates that should’ve been automated.

Transport and logistics integration fixes that disconnect. It eliminates delays, errors, and duplication while giving your team the real-time visibility they need to operate smarter and faster. Let’s explore how this integration works, why it matters, and what it actually looks like in real operations.

What Does CargoWise–TMS Integration Mean?

Integrating CargoWise with your TMS means creating a real-time digital bridge between two systems that are essential to your business. CargoWise holds all your job and shipment data, clients, locations, cargo details, and customs entries, while the TMS handles bookings, carrier assignments, tracking, and delivery milestones.

Without integration, your team has to manually copy shipment data from CargoWise into your TMS, then go back again to update statuses, delivery notes, and proof of delivery (POD) documents. With integration, this all happens automatically. Shipment records flow directly from one system to the other, and updates come back instantly, keeping both platforms aligned.

Where Does It Fit into Your Logistics Workflow?

Imagine your team creates a job in CargoWise for a new shipment. Once the job is finalized, it needs to be booked with a carrier through your TMS. Traditionally, someone exports the data, logs into the TMS, fills out the booking manually, and emails or calls the carrier to confirm. Then, as updates come in, pickup, in-transit, and delivery, they’re manually recorded in CargoWise.

With integration, that entire workflow is automated. As soon as the CargoWise job is created, the TMS is notified. Bookings are made instantly, and tracking updates return to CargoWise without your team lifting a finger. Delivery confirmation? Automatically added to the job record. No delays, no emails, no manual work.

What are the Real Benefits?

The benefits of transport system integration go far beyond convenience. They directly impact your team’s productivity, your client experience, and your bottom line.

Save Time: Manual data entry slows everything down. Integration cuts out redundant steps, freeing up your operations team to handle more shipments with less stress.

Reduce Errors: Mistakes happen when people re-enter data by hand, including wrong addresses, missed updates, and duplicate bookings. Integration ensures your data stays clean and consistent across both systems.

Improve Visibility: Your customer service team, sales team, and clients can all access the most up-to-date tracking data right inside CargoWise. No more waiting on updates from the transport team.

Accelerate Billing: When proof of delivery comes in automatically, your finance team doesn’t have to wait. They can invoice faster and improve cash flow without needing to track down paperwork.

Enhance Customer Experience: Live status updates, faster issue resolution, and smooth delivery coordination mean fewer support calls and happier clients.

Is This Integration Right for You?

If you’re still using manual workarounds, the answer is probably yes. Ask yourself:

  • Are your teams entering the same data twice?
  • Do updates get lost between systems?
  • Are you manually uploading PODs into CargoWise?
  • Do you rely on emails or calls to know where your shipments are?
  • Are billing delays caused by slow update sharing?

If you said yes to even two of these, then integrating CargoWise with your TMS is the next logical move.
