CargoWise is a leading logistics platform known for its comprehensive, though complex, documentation and training ecosystem. It is primarily used by large freight forwarders and 3PLs to automate end-to-end supply chain processes. Key Components of CargoWise Documentation
- Set retention policies – CargoWise allows rules like “keep B/L for 7 years after shipment closed; delete draft after 90 days.”
- Legal hold – Flag any shipment for litigation or audit; documents become un-deletable.
- Export to external archive – Use the Document Export job to push PDFs to a separate WORM (Write Once Read Many) storage.
- Attach scanned PDFs (e.g., signed packing list).
- Generate native CargoWise documents (e.g., print an HBL using the system’s template engine).
- Link documents to specific workflow milestones (e.g., "Manifested" vs "Arrived").
