For independent freight forwarders
Quotes, bookings, shipment tracking, documents, and invoices in one branded portal your customers actually want to use. Built for NVOCCs and independent forwarders who are done with spreadsheets and shared inboxes.
White-labeled. Your logo, your colors, your domain. Customers never see Cargonautic, they see your brand.
Self-service portal. Customers search rates, request quotes, track shipments, and download documents without calling you.
Connected workflow. Quotes convert to shipments, shipments generate invoices, documents attach to records. No re-keying.
The problem
A customer asks for a quote. It goes to a shared inbox. Someone replies with a PDF. The customer books it over email. A spreadsheet tracks the shipment. The bill of lading lives in someone's Downloads folder. The invoice goes out two weeks late.
Every forwarder knows this workflow. Most have tried to fix it with a CRM, a project management tool, or a custom build that never quite finished. The result is the same: the system doesn't match how freight actually moves.
How it works
Through your branded portal, the customer fills out a quote request form. It lands in your operations dashboard as a draft with origin, destination, cargo details, all structured. No email parsing, no re-keying.
Price it, send it. The customer sees the quote in their portal and accepts with one click. The quote status updates automatically, no chasing, no "did you get my email?"
One click converts the accepted quote into a shipment. Add tracking events as cargo moves: departures, arrivals, customs clears. The customer sees the timeline in their portal. No "where is my container?" phone calls.
Generate the invoice from the shipment. Upload the bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, all linked to the shipment record. The customer pays through the portal. QuickBooks sync comes later, but the data is clean from day one.
What you get
Custom domain (portal.yourcompany.com) or a Cargonautic subdomain. Your logo, your colors, your company name throughout. Branded emails and PDFs. Zero Cargonautic branding visible to your customers.
Customers search rates, request quotes, place bookings, track shipments, download documents, and view invoices 24/7, without calling your operations team.
Your team manages quotes, bookings, shipments, documents, invoices, and customers from one dashboard. Quote-to-shipment conversion, tracking timelines, and document management, all connected.
Both your operations dashboard and your customer portal are installable PWAs. Your team and your customers can add them to their phone home screen or desktop, they launch like native apps, with your branding.
Who it's for
If you're running 50 to 5,000 shipments a month, still managing quotes in email, and your customers are asking for a way to track their cargo online, Cargonautic gives you that portal in days, not months. Your brand, your domain, your workflows. We handle the infrastructure, security, and hosting.
