Frequently asked questions
CargoWise scores F on the API Report Card. Integration runs through eAdaptor, an XML interface with inbound query, insert, and update calls plus outbound pushes to a customer-hosted SOAP listener. The developer guide ships only to customers who license the module, and each tenant hosts its own endpoint registered per company.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
CargoWise is the flagship logistics execution platform from WiseTech Global (ASX: WTC), an Australian-headquartered software vendor that has rolled up a large fraction of the global freight technology stack through more than 40 acquisitions over the last 15 years.
Primary vertical: Fleet / Trucking / Logistics, specifically global freight forwarding, customs brokerage, 3PL/4PL operations, NVOCC and large multi-country logistics service providers. A global freight forwarder runs CargoWise as its end-to-end operating system: creating quotations and bookings across air/ocean/road, generating master/house bills of lading and airway bills, filing customs entries in each country of operation through the local Customs module (US ACE/ABI, UK CDS, EU AES, AU ICS, etc.), running warehouse receiving/picking/packing in CargoWise Warehouse, dispatching trucks via CargoWise Transport, posting AR/AP and consolidating multi-currency finance in the integrated accounting module, and exchanging EDI/XML messages with carriers, ports, customs authorities and trading partners.
Very high within enterprise global freight forwarding and customs brokerage. WiseTech Global is a publicly listed company (ASX: WTC) with market capitalization in the tens of billions and CargoWise as its flagship revenue engine.
CargoWise runs business-critical, regulated workflows where silent integration failures translate to real money and compliance exposure: Customs filings across multiple jurisdictions (US ACE/ABI/AES, UK CDS, EU AES, AU ICS, etc.) where errors create CBP/HMRC/equivalent penalties, shipment holds and demurrage..
CargoWise has roots in WiseTech Global, founded in 1994 in Sydney by Richard White. The platform reflects three decades of organic and acquired development.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial CargoWise API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write CargoWise data. See the CargoWise integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/cargowise-api.
