On-Hold Shipments in CargoWise

CargoWise defines on-hold shipments as freight movements that are put on hold owing to regulatory, financial, or operational problems. This status serves as a precaution, preventing further actions, such as transportation bookings, customs filings, or document generation, until the underlying issue is remedied. Holds can be triggered by missing papers, unpaid invoices, regulatory red flags, or delayed approvals, providing logistics professionals with a single solution for managing disruptions and reducing costly errors.

CargoWise’s hold functionality is designed to be flexible and adjustable. Various sorts of holds can be established depending on workflows, shipment phases, or user-defined rules. Teams can assign holds manually or via automation triggers, and each hold is time-stamped, logged, and auditable within the system. This promotes transparency throughout departments and ensures that stakeholders are promptly notified. Once resolved, the hold can be cleared, and the shipment can continue on its voyage without data loss or duplication, making it an important risk-mitigation technique in global trade.
