The painful truth of trans-Atlantic logistics: While we sleep in Europe, they work in the US - and vice versa. That can mean ultimate efficiency in theory but frustrating delays in practice. Every email exchange means a potential 24-hour delay. A simple pricing request can stretch into a 4-day ordeal due to time zone gaps: → Europe sends inquiry (Day 1) → US receives next business day (Day 2) → The response arrives overnight in Europe (Day 3) → Final confirmation next EU business day (Day 4) For businesses operating between Europe and North America, these delays compound. Each additional information request? Add another 2 days minimum. We've solved this at Cargoson. Our platform enables instant rate comparisons and bookings across time zones, cutting that 4-day wait to minutes. With direct integrations to major US carriers, we're helping European businesses streamline their North American logistics. Are you working across different time zones? What's your experience?

The EU is killing paper transport docs by 2027. Estonian carriers can get a 3-year headstart - here's how 👇 By 2027, all EU member states will be required to accept digital freight documents under the new eFTI regulation. Estonia is leading the way as a pilot country in this digital transformation. We believe going digital shouldn't be complicated or expensive. That's why we now offer free eCMR creation and management for all carriers registered in Estonia. Why should you try this: 🔸 Get ahead of the 2027 eFTI regulation 🔸 Say bye to paper documents 🔸 Stay compliant with upcoming EU requirements Ready to make the switch?

It was the other day when one of our prospective customers booked a demo meeting with us. Right after the call started, the prospective customer said that they already knew everything they needed to know and just wanted to proceed with the API connection. I was caught off guard. Still, I decided to push my luck a bit. We ended up in a debate, and, funny as it might be, the prospective customer was arguing for starting with Cargoson and a full integration right away, while I was opposing him. I lost the debate. We have a new customer. Nice. I had heard things like this might happen, but it had never happened to me.

Why do logistics managers look so tired? 🤔 We've been talking to our customers lately - from scooter operations to warehouse managers. Their daily worries are surprisingly similar. It's not about trucks being late or packages getting lost. The real headaches come from: → Drowning in emails with carriers → Jumping between different systems → Manually comparing prices → Trying to piece together what's happening with shipments → Making sense of all the data Swipe through to see the 5 most common challenges we discovered. If you're in logistics, we bet at least 3 of these will feel familiar. What's your biggest daily struggle in managing shipments? PS. If you're nodding while reading these, let's talk about making it easier!

Implementing a new carrier API might sound like fun if you're an IT geek who prefers communicating with computers rather than real people. 🤓 But, in a more realistic world, you would typically use an ERP or a WMS where you might not even have the proper access to implement a new API connection. Chances are, you'd need to hire an IT company with the right expertise and licensing to build each integration. That sounds expensive, doesn’t it? 💰 Now imagine doing this for every transport company you work with. The average manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer uses 10 to 15 different logistics providers. Ouch. Then your logistics manager informs you they have negotiated even better deals—with an entirely new set of carriers. Ouch. Next, you find out that three of the logistics companies you've already integrated with are planning to switch their API platforms, and you’ll have to rebuild everything from scratch. Ouch. So, is there any other way? Yes, there is. I am covering all this in our blog post. Link in the description. 👇 I have to warn you though, I am going to geek out there over the technical side. 🤓 Cargoson

Some time ago I set myself to a quest to find out if there was a unified transport API/EDI standard which is in use by several logistics companies. Surely in this day and age, something like that must exist, right? A universal shipping API format? 🤔 Well, long story short, it does not exist. 🙉 There are some experimental projects, but if you are looking for a single API standard which is in use by several logistics providers - you are out of luck. The closest you can get is an API provider who has built lots of carrier API connections and then offers its own API endpoint to access different transport service providers. I have covered my findings and shared real-life examples in my article. Link in the comments. Cargoson

Looking for a Universal Shipping API 🤯 Spoiler: It doesn’t exist... or didn’t, until now! Here’s what shipping integration usually looks like: - DHL wants SOAP (and 457 pages of docs!) - FedEx needs JSON - Schenker speaks their own dialect of XML - Half of your carriers prefer email - And someone’s still using FORTRAS files from 1985 Managing 10-20 carriers? That’s like learning 10-20 different languages... just to say “Please ship this box” Different logistics companies offer varying levels of service. Some provide a booking API, while others do not; some offer instant pricing and tracking capabilities, while others lack these features. At Cargoson, we have implemented all features that fill in the gaps for each transport company. --- Real talk: How many carrier portals do you have open right now?

It's Monday morning, and your warehouse is in chaos. Trucks are lining up unexpectedly, shipments are delayed, and your team is scrambling to keep up. This type of chaos is easily avoidable if you use dock scheduling software like LoadingCalendar. Our Dock Scheduling software has a new feature - Booking Portal. This allows your carriers to schedule loading dock appointments just as easily as booking appointments with hairdressers or dentists, reducing the need for back-and-forth communication and confusion. Best of all, this feature is included in all LoadingCalendar plans at no extra cost. Want to give it a try? We offer a 60-day free trial!

Cargoson is now FedEx Compatible Partner. 🙌 Why is it a big deal? Cargoson has achieved the status of a FedEx Compatible Provider. This distinction places us among a select group of companies that have met FedEx's stringent integration standards and gives our customers direct access to FedEx's shipping services through Cargoson TMS. You can now access FedEx prices, transit times, cut-off times, bookings, labels, milestones, etc., directly through Cargoson.

DSV will acquire Schenker: what does it mean for your logistics? TL;DR: DSV acquired Schenker. Cargoson TMS users don't have to worry about integrations and can continue working smoothly across the globe. DSV - Global Transport and Logistics recently decided to acquire DB Schenker , creating a logistics giant with unparalleled reach. Changes like these raise concerns for businesses relying on existing integrations and processes. We get it. Cargoson users are the lucky ones. Already today they have their MyDSV account and eSchenker account integrated into one system. No disruptions, just business as usual for our TMS users! 😎 Will you be affected by the DSV-Schenker merger? How will you handle the transition?
