About Cargo Mode
Fixing freight forwarding, one workflow at a time.
Our Mission
Freight forwarding runs the world's supply chains. It also runs on re-typed PDFs, manual CargoWise fields, and spreadsheets held together with hope.
We're building the AI operating layer that changes that — starting with the workflows that eat the most time and carry the highest risk of error. Job loading first. Quoting, invoice matching, and customs automation next.
The goal is simple: your ops team focuses on decisions and client relationships. CargoMode handles the rest.
How We Started
CargoMode was built from the ground up with freight forwarders — not for them in theory, with them in practice.
We sat with operations teams. We watched export clerks work through 50 PDFs for a single booking. We saw how a wrong container number costs thousands, how a missed VGM deadline triggers a fine, how incomplete CargoWise data corrupts reporting across the entire business.
The problem wasn't that people were doing it wrong. The problem was the system itself — documents, carrier portals, and CargoWise all living in separate worlds, with a human manually bridging the gap every single time.
So we built the bridge.
What We're Building
CargoMode is a single platform with a growing set of automation features — each one targeting a specific manual workflow that costs freight forwarders time and money.
Live now
Job loading. Upload your documents, pull live carrier data, and push a complete CargoWise job in minutes. Every field. No typing.
Coming next
RFQ and quoting automation. AP invoice matching. Customs declaration pre-population.
We're not building a replacement for CargoWise. We're building the layer that makes CargoWise effortless to use — so the investment your business has already made in it compounds, not corrodes.
What We Believe
Data accuracy is the foundation of everything.
Wrong data in CargoWise means wrong KPIs, wrong P&L, wrong carbon reports. The whole business runs on what's in the system. If it's incomplete, everything downstream is compromised.
Automation should remove friction, not add it.
No complicated setup, no retraining your team. CargoMode fits the workflow you already have — it just removes the manual parts.
The best freight forwarders will be the ones who automate first.
The industry is changing. Labour costs are rising. Volumes are growing. The teams that automate the repeatable work now will outcompete the ones who don't — on speed, accuracy, and margin.
We build with customers, not ahead of them.
Every feature in CargoMode exists because a real freight forwarder told us they needed it. That's how we'll keep building.
