CargoWise implementation by Elicit

For logistics companies, CargoWise is a complete solution that makes planning, organizing, and carrying out difficult tasks easier. CargoWise improves visibility and control across marketing, freight forwarding, operations, finance, purchase order management, and warehouse functions through digital automation and analytics.

By utilizing CargoWise automation, supply chain companies may minimize time spent on monotonous or repeated processes and devote staff to exceptional assignments. To provide a seamless transition from current legacy systems, a well-defined strategy is necessary for the implementation of such software.

Setting up software for a complete company’s worth of operations is really difficult, especially considering how different logistics companies are in terms of size and geography. Elicit’s CargoWise Implementation effectively deploys CargoWise to overcome these obstacles, improving stakeholder and commercial advantages.
