CargoWise’s Consolidation Workflow is a feature that automates shipment bundling to reduce logistics expenses. To save money on transportation and handling, many smaller shipments from different suppliers or clients are combined into one larger shipment. Consolidating shipments allows firms to optimize available capacity in vehicles while lowering freight costs. The workflow automatically selects the best viable grouping depending on cargo size, destination, and delivery duration. This automation greatly streamlines the process, decreasing manual intervention while enhancing operational efficiency.

CargoWise’s Consolidation Workflow helps organizations manage their shipments more efficiently by ensuring that each shipment gets consolidated at the most advantageous and effective moment. It offers multimodal shipping, such as air, sea, and land, and can work with many carriers to generate the best shipment bundles. The system’s capacity to automatically classify shipments based on certain criteria increases accuracy and speeds up decision-making. As a result, logistics companies can offer more competitive pricing to their customers while lowering operational costs. This functionality also enhances shipment tracking by offering visibility into the status of consolidated shipments throughout the transportation process.
