Sound familiar?

Freight costs are eating your margin

Manufacturers and wholesalers work with multiple carriers across parcel, LTL, FTL, air, and sea freight. Without a centralized system, freight costs are invisible, billing errors go unnoticed, and carrier selection is based on habit rather than data.

Habit-based carrier selection

Your team picks carriers out of habit, not data. Without side-by-side rate comparison across all your carriers, you can not tell if you are overpaying by 10% or 30% on every shipment.

Freight invoices you can not verify

Carrier invoices arrive and get paid without cross-checking against quoted rates. Surcharges, weight adjustments, and fuel costs slip through unchecked. In an independent study, two thirds of surveyed companies reported catching billing discrepancies after implementing a TMS.

No visibility into freight spend

Your freight costs are buried across carrier portals, emails, and spreadsheets. When management asks for a cost breakdown by route or carrier, it takes days to compile.

Rate cards in Excel and PDF

Carrier rate agreements live in Excel files, PDFs, and email inboxes. Checking the current rate for a specific lane means manual calculations with surcharge tables. Nobody trusts the numbers.

Key Features

Freight rate comparison

See rates from all your carriers side by side for every shipment. Parcels, pallets, full truckloads, air, and sea freight. Independent research shows this eliminates habit-based carrier selection and cuts costs by 27%.

Automatically match carrier invoices against transport orders. Catch billing discrepancies, weight adjustments, and surcharge errors before you pay. In an independent study, two thirds of companies reported recovering money from carriers this way.

Verified cost savings from independent research

Stoneridge Electronics - Cargoson TMS customer

An independent 2025 Master's thesis documented the freight cost impact of implementing Cargoson at Stoneridge Electronics, a global electronics manufacturer. The research specifically measured how replacing manual, email-based carrier selection with automated rate comparison affected the bottom line.

"Transport costs relative to revenue dropped by 27%. The automated rate comparison eliminated habit-based carrier selection, and cross-checking freight invoices against transport orders revealed billing discrepancies we had been missing."

Why Cargoson

Why Manufacturers & Wholesalers Choose Cargoson TMS

Is Cargoson Right for You?

Built for a specific type of shipper

Best for

  • Manufacturers & wholesalers shipping B2B
  • 50 to 5,000+ shipments per month
  • Teams looking to integrate multiple carriers (parcel, LTL, FTL, air, sea)
  • ERP in use (Dynamics, SAP, NetSuite, etc.)
  • Europe and North America
  • Teams looking to replace carrier portals and Excel

Probably not the best fit

  • Pure e-commerce / direct-to-consumer parcel only
  • If you work with just a single carrier
  • Carriers or freight forwarders (Cargoson TMS is purpose-built for manufacturers and wholesalers, not carriers)
  • Looking for a freight broker (we are software, not a broker)
  • Fewer than 50 shipments per month

Frequently Asked Questions

A Transport Management System (TMS) is software that helps companies plan, execute, and optimize the movement of goods. Cargoson connects to your existing carriers, compares their rates in real time, and lets you book and track shipments from one dashboard instead of logging into multiple carrier portals.

When you use carrier portals directly, you log into each one separately, enter shipment data multiple times, and have no way to compare rates side by side. Cargoson puts all your carriers in one screen. Enter shipment details once, see rates from all carriers instantly, book with one click, and track everything in one place. Your team saves hours every day.

No. Cargoson works with your existing carrier contracts and negotiated rates. We are not a freight broker or marketplace. You keep your own carrier relationships and rate agreements exactly as they are. We simply connect to your carriers so you can manage everything from one platform.

Just send us your rate cards in any format: Excel, PDF, or even email. Our team, assisted by AI, digitizes your carrier rates and sets them up in your Cargoson account, usually within 1-2 days. When rates change due to tenders or contract renewals, just send us the updated rate cards. Weekly and monthly surcharge updates like fuel (BAF) are handled automatically by us. All of this is included in your subscription at no extra cost.

Cargoson automatically applies current surcharges (fuel/BAF, peak season, etc.) to your rate calculations. Our team updates these regularly based on carrier announcements, so the rates you see in Cargoson always reflect what you will actually pay. When your carrier issues new rate cards after a tender or contract renewal, just send them to us and we will update your account within 1-2 days.

Most companies are live within 1-2 weeks. Setup includes connecting your carrier accounts and digitizing your rate agreements. If you need ERP integration, that typically adds another 1-2 weeks depending on complexity. There is no lengthy implementation project.

Cargoson handles all freight modes: parcels (DHL, FedEx, UPS, DPD, etc.), LTL pallets, full truckloads (FTL), air freight, sea freight, and rail. You can compare rates and book across all modes from one screen. This includes specialized handling like temperature-controlled shipments, dangerous goods (ADR/IMDG), and oversized freight.

Cargoson plans start from €299/month (annual billing). Most mid-sized manufacturers and wholesalers use Standard (€299/mo) or Advanced (€599/mo). Enterprise plans start at €1,000/month for larger organizations. Pricing scales with your shipment volume, user count, and features needed. There are no per-shipment fees, no per-carrier fees, and new carrier integrations are included from the Standard plan onwards. Prices are also available in USD and GBP. You can see the full plan comparison on the pricing page.

Cargoson has built 2,000+ carrier integrations including DHL, FedEx, UPS, DSV, DB Schenker, Bring, DPD, Omniva, Venipak, and many more.

We also provide a personalized 30-minute demo where we walk you through the system with your specific freight setup in mind. This gives you a much better sense of how Cargoson fits your workflow than a self-service trial would.
