Booking Confirmation
A booking confirmation is a formal document that confirms the reservation of cargo space with a carrier or freight forwarder. It acts as documentation that a shipment has been booked for transit, guaranteeing that the agreed-upon space is reserved for the specific cargo. This document normally includes crucial cargo information such as the shipper’s and consignee’s names, booking reference number, mode of transportation, departure and arrival locations, expected transit time, and freight rates. Booking confirmations are critical for preventing schedule conflicts and guaranteeing efficient logistics operations.
CargoWise’s booking confirmation process is automated, allowing for real-time updates, reducing manual errors, and increasing cargo planning efficiency. It guarantees that space bookings are appropriately documented and connected with other supply chain processes, such as invoicing, tracking, and compliance. Booking confirmations allow freight forwarders, logistics providers, and shippers to improve communication, optimize resource allocation, and decrease delays caused by booking errors or overbooked cargo space.
