Every echelon of the supply chain. One platform.

WHIZTEC serves every echelon of the global supply chain: cargo owners (trading, distribution, manufacturing, e-commerce), logistics providers (freight forwarders, customs brokers, 3PL and warehousing), shipping companies (regional lines, NVOCC, feeder operators, liner agencies and port agents), port-side operators (terminals, ICDs, CFS and container depots) and maritime asset operators (ship owners, third-party ship managers and shipyards) — eleven deep verticals across five echelons.

No. Each vertical runs on the platform that matches its operating model — WHIZCargo for cargo-side and port-side businesses, WHIZMarine for vessel-side businesses, WHIZERP for cargo owners — and every deployment is configured to the customer's own workflows, documents, billing rules and country compliance. The industry pages describe the module set each vertical typically uses.

Yes — that is common, especially in the Gulf and Indian subcontinent where a single group may run a liner agency, an NVOCC, a container depot, a clearance arm and a 3PL warehouse. All of them operate on one platform with one customer master, one multi-currency ledger and consolidated group reporting. Cross-vertical groups are exactly where a single data model pays off most.

Each echelon has strong specialists — freight platforms for forwarders, maritime suites for owners and managers, terminal systems for ports, generic ERP for cargo owners. What is genuinely rare is one vendor running all of them on one data model, so a group's forwarding arm, agency desk, depot and trading business share one customer record and one ledger. That is WHIZTEC's position after 25 years of building along the whole chain.

Very. Implementations start from the vertical's reference workflows (e.g., a shipyard's enquiry-to-invoice cycle, a depot's gate-to-invoice chain, or a forwarder's quote-to-manifest flow) and are then configured to the company's own rate structures, approval chains, documents and integrations. Typical go-lives run 8-16 weeks depending on scope.
