WHAT IT IS
One platform for the operators who actually move freight.
Most freight software was built for a single niche — a forwarder TMS here, a customs broker tool there, an airline cargo system somewhere else. WHIZCargo was built differently: by working directly with operators across every freight vertical, then unifying the workflows into a single, configuration-driven platform. A liner agency runs the same WHIZCargo as a ground handling agent — different modules, same data model, same operational discipline. That's why the platform handles 25 distinct cargo workflows without becoming a swamp of integrations.

WHO IT'S FOR
Built around the operator, not the system.
Six core archetypes use WHIZCargo daily — each with their own dashboards, workflows and KPIs.
Freight Forwarders
End-to-end forwarder workflows — quote, book, document, manifest, customs, bill — across air, sea, road and multimodal. Branch and partner network ready.
NVOCC / LCL Consolidators
HBL/MBL management, container consolidation and deconsolidation, sailing schedules, carrier booking and revenue accounting in one workflow.
Liner Agencies
Documentation, schedules, vessel coordination, port billing, CRO management and EDI to principals — the full liner-agency operation.
Ground Handling Agents
Acceptance, ULD, weight & balance, DG and VCHS workflows for cargo terminals and airlines. Live at multiple GHA operations.
Ship & Feeder Agencies
Port agency, disbursement accounts, port formalities, husbandry and feeder ops — for both deep-sea principals and intra-regional services.
Project & Courier Operators
OOG and break-bulk cargo planning, heavy-lift costing, plus express/D2D courier with driver apps and real-time POD capture.
KEY CAPABILITIES
The depth that matters.
GHA + VCHS
A complete ground-handling workstation.
Airline cargo acceptance starts before the freighter closes — and ends only when ULD weight, DG status and VCHS screening are confirmed in one screen. WHIZCargo eliminates the three-system juggle most GHAs live with today.
- Acceptance with live weight & balance validation
- ULD allocation and tracking
- Dangerous Goods (IATA DGR) compliance workflow
- Valuable Cargo Handling System (VCHS) for high-value shipments
- Ground handling billing integrated with airline contracts

NVOCC / LCL
HBL/MBL, consolidation, manifesting — without re-keying.
Most NVOCC operations leak time in three places: re-keying carrier bookings, reconciling HBL to MBL, and chasing manifests. WHIZCargo unifies all three into a single record that the same data model carries from booking to billing.
- Container consolidation and deconsolidation in one workflow
- HBL automatically reconciled to MBL with variance flagging
- Carrier API integration (one-click booking)
- EDI manifesting (CUSCAR, customs reporting)
- Revenue accounting with carrier reconciliation

WHIZAI INTEGRATION
Operations that run themselves where they can.
Every WHIZCargo module is wired into WHIZAI, our intelligence layer. That means the workflow doesn't just record events — it predicts exceptions, pre-files customs, scores shipments for risk and routes anomalies to the right operator.
- Customs pre-filing triggered before vessel arrival
- BL exception prediction (variance flagging before they happen)
- Demand forecasting per trade lane
- Rate intelligence — historic and live rate context for quoting
- Document AI for inbound carrier docs

From legacy EDI to modern API ecosystems — WHIZCargo connects to ports, carriers, customs authorities and trading partners without middleware.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
WHIZCargo questions, answered.
What is WHIZCargo?
WHIZCargo is the freight-management platform from WHIZTEC. It is a single system that handles the full freight lifecycle — inquiry, quotation, booking, documentation, EDI, customs, billing and operational workflows — for freight forwarders, NVOCC and LCL consolidators, liner agencies, ground handling agents, ship agents, feeder operators, courier and D2D operators, project-cargo specialists, exhibition forwarders, warehouse operators and customs brokers. 25 modules, deployed since 2002.
Is WHIZCargo suitable for ground handling agents (GHA)?
Yes. WHIZCargo includes a dedicated GHA module covering airline cargo acceptance, ULD management, weight & balance, dangerous goods handling, ground handling billing and the Valuable Cargo Handling System (VCHS) for high-value shipments. The module is in production at multiple cargo terminals.
Does WHIZCargo support Liner Agency operations?
Yes. The Liner Agency module runs the full agency operation — B/L issuance, manifest preparation, CRO management, sailing schedules, vessel coordination, port billing, principal reporting and EDI messaging to principals (UN/EDIFACT, ANSI X12). In production with liner agents across the Gulf, India and South-East Asia since 2015.
Does WHIZCargo support NVOCC and LCL consolidators?
Yes. WHIZCargo provides full NVOCC functionality including HBL/MBL management, container tracking, consolidation, deconsolidation, carrier booking, manifesting, EDI to carriers and shippers, revenue accounting and CFS (Container Freight Station) operations. LCL consolidators handle multi-shipper groupage and break-bulk in the same workflow.
Is WHIZCargo suitable for feeder operators?
Yes. The Feeder Operations module covers intra-regional feeder services — slot allocations from deep-sea principals, sailing schedules, container booking, manifesting, port-to-port coordination, EDI reconciliation with principals and revenue accounting. Field staff use the WHIZCargo mobile app to track container moves in real time.
Does WHIZCargo cover warehouse management (WMS)?
Yes. The Warehouse module handles inbound (ASN/GRN), put-away, picking, packing, dispatch, cycle counting, kitting, value-added services and multi-customer billing for 3PL operations. Floor operators use a barcode/RFID-enabled mobile app that works offline in low-connectivity warehouses. Natively integrated with the freight forwarding and customs modules.
Can WHIZCargo handle e-commerce logistics?
Yes. The e-commerce logistics workflow covers order import from Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and Amazon Seller Central; multi-warehouse fulfilment routing; last-mile orchestration; returns management; and marketplace fee reconciliation. End customers track orders via a branded customer portal, and the last-mile driver app handles routing, scan-and-deliver and POD capture.
Does WHIZCargo handle Project Cargo and Heavy Lift?
Yes. The Project Cargo module manages OOG (out-of-gauge) and break-bulk planning, route surveys, multi-leg transport sequencing (sea + road + rail + air), heavy-lift equipment costing and stakeholder coordination. Project managers track milestones live across all legs and the operations team captures field updates from the project mobile app.
What about exhibition and event logistics?
Yes. Exhibition Cargo is a dedicated module for trade-show and event freight — temporary import handling, ATA Carnet workflow, on-site coordination at exhibition venues, post-event re-export and customs reconciliation. Used by global exhibition forwarders for trade fairs across the GCC, Europe and Asia.
Is there a mobile app for door-to-door (D2D) customers to book and track shipments?
Yes. The D2D Courier module includes a customer-facing mobile app — customers book pickups, get live tracking, receive push notifications and e-sign PODs — plus a driver app with route optimisation, scan-and-deliver, photo capture and real-time GPS. Both apps are available on iOS and Android, white-labelled to the operator brand.
What other mobile apps does WHIZCargo provide?
WHIZCargo includes purpose-built mobile apps for warehouse pickers, ground handling agents, feeder operations, last-mile drivers, project-cargo field teams and D2D customers. Each app is optimised for its workflow (barcode/RFID scanning, photo capture, signature capture, GPS, offline mode) and is available on iOS and Android.
How does WHIZCargo integrate with our existing ERP?
WHIZCargo natively integrates with SAP via IDoc, Oracle/Infor/Dynamics via OAGIS BOD, and any other system via REST APIs, webhooks, UN/EDIFACT, ANSI X12, CSV/XLSX or FTP/SFTP. For port-side EDI we support CUSCAR/CUSDEC, COPRAR, COARRI and BAPLIE.
How long does WHIZCargo take to implement?
Typical mid-market deployments go live within 8–16 weeks. The architecture is configuration-driven — workflows, fields, approval rules, billing matrices and carrier integrations are configured rather than custom-coded. Enterprise rollouts with multiple branches or country-specific compliance can run longer in phases.
Is WHIZCargo cloud-hosted or on-premise?
Both. WHIZCargo runs as a single-tenant cloud deployment for most customers (we host, you operate) and is also offered as a self-hosted option for enterprises with strict data-sovereignty or regulatory requirements.
