Coneksion® Best Practice: CargoWise Integration

Written by Andrei Radchenko | 03.10.2024

 

 

Are you a freight forwarder using CargoWise and need to connect your customers or third-party systems to the platform? Or are you about to become a CargoWise customer but lack the resources to manage your integrations in-house?

If so, continue reading this best practice guide as it explores the Coneksion® CargoWise Integration Service—a streamlined, scalable, and fully managed solution for connecting CargoWise with any trading partner or system, enhancing visibility, and automating critical supply chain processes.

Expanding CargoWise Integration 

CargoWise is an end-to-end logistics execution platform designed to support and simplify the complexities of moving freight from point A to point B. Its deep integration capabilities provide the flexibility to add new functionality and adapt to ever-changing business needs. However, two key challenges often arise when venturing into the CargoWise ecosystem: integrating the platform with your current IT setup and expanding the connectivity scope beyond what CargoWise natively offers.

Whether you're onboarding a new business partner, integrating a system outside the platform's scope, or starting your journey with CargoWise, it's not an easy task—it requires custom integration. Doing such integrations in-house can present several challenges:

  • Resource-Intensive: Developing and maintaining integrations internally demands significant resources, both in terms of manpower and technical expertise.
  • Time-Consuming: Custom-built solutions can take months to develop and often require continuous updates and support.
  • Scalability Issues: In-house solutions may not be scalable or adaptable to new trading partners, requiring costly adjustments as business needs evolve.

To avoid the burden of in-house integrations, many companies prefer delegating complex, resource-intensive tasks to a specialized data integration and connectivity service provider like coneksion®. This allows your team to focus on strategic business priorities while leaving the technical details to the experts.
