CargoWise Transit Warehouse Solutions

CargoWise Transit Warehouse Solutions offers a web-based, integrated system that enhances transit warehouse operations by providing real-time visibility of inbound and outbound consignments, automating goods movement and inventory management, optimizing picking and package handling with barcode scanning, and improving productivity and cost-efficiency for freight forwarders and warehouse operators managing barcoded pallets and packages.

Maintain visibility

Keep track of packages as they journey through your transit network, with a digital audit trail of touchpoints and internal movements.

Increase productivity and accuracy

Automate goods movement and manage inventory flexibility, helping to ensure goods flow freely and accurately from receipt, through storage, to packing and shipping.

Reduce warehouse costs

Maximize the use of resources, such as equipment, space, time and people, with greater efficiency and lower operating costs.

Turbocharge your transit warehouse operations from goods-in to goods-out

Keep pace with unpredictable parcel volumes, and give your forwarders and warehouse operators the confidence that they can scale to take advantage of growth opportunities.

As goods move throughout your transit facilities, efficiencies, automations, and productivity enhancements can help warehouse operators and freight forwarders optimize their operations – from the inventory shelf to the pack out station and into the hands of customers.
