Extend anything with workflow orchestration
Hook into any event within Cargo Pilot and build custom automations using N8N, Power Automate, Zapier, or your own webhooks. From simple notifications to complex multi-step business processes.
Cut fulfilment costs by up to 80%
Compare rates from dozens of carriers in real-time. Set rules to automatically select the best option based on cost, speed, or geography. No more manual quotation management.
Supplier management without the ERP
Assign suppliers to stock items, automate purchase orders based on reorder thresholds, and track performance across your supplier base. All without deploying SAP.

checkStock("SKU-4821")

Turn insight into action,
without the enterprise overhead
Once your data is unified, planning stops being guesswork. Forecast demand, optimise inventory, and control procurement, turning the insight from your operations into outcomes you can act on inside the platform.
Demand Forecasting
AI-powered demand projections using your order history, seasonal trends, and supplier lead times. Get replenishment suggestions that actually make sense for your business.
Built-in Analytics Dashboards
Pre-built dashboards for fulfillment costs, supplier performance, inventory turnover, and order cycle times. See the value the moment you log in.
Inventory Optimization
Safety stock calculations, ABC analysis, and overstocked/understocked alerts. Turn passive inventory visibility into actionable intelligence.
Budget & Procurement Controls
Approval thresholds, department-level budget tracking, spend alerts, and master-business enforcement of procurement rules across sub-businesses.
Supplier Portal
Let suppliers view and confirm purchase orders, update certifications, and submit delivery confirmations. Less back-and-forth, stronger network effects.
Ask your data a question,
get an answer you can act on
With your operations unified in one model, AI Studio lets you explore it in plain language, with no SQL and no BI ticket queue. Ask about stock risk, supplier lead times, or slow-moving inventory, and get the answer with the chart to back it up.
Your data: owned, warehoused,
and yours to keep
Harmonising your data only matters if it stays yours. Cargopilot syncs your operational data into a database you own, and can provide copies of your data on request for further analysis. No lock-in, no gatekeeping.
A warehouse you own, BI-ready out of the box
A pluggable pipeline syncs your operational data into a clean, analytics-friendly database you control. Point Power BI, Metabase, Looker, or a notebook at it and build whatever reporting your business actually needs.
IoT & telemetry as another data input
Sensor and device data, like cold-chain temperatures, asset tracking, and vehicle telematics, flows into the same harmonised model as everything else. That makes it equally available to your dashboards, your AI queries, and your logistics workflows.
Whatever you're trying to do,
the answer is usually yes
The platform is extensible by design, so most outcomes come down to configuration, a workflow, or a custom module. Here are a few of the questions we hear most:
Can I generate waybills and shipping labels?
Yes Yes. Cargopilot supports ZPL label printing with custom templates, on-site or in the cloud, wired into your fulfilment workflow.
Can I migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify?
Yes Yes. Migrate products, customers, and orders between platforms with zero downtime and zero data loss.
Can I automate purchase orders and supplier payment consolidation?
Yes Yes. Auto-generate POs at reorder thresholds, group them per supplier, and run them through approval workflows.
My logistics provider isn't listed. Can you still support it?
Yes No problem. We've built custom logistics integrations for several customers, and if it could benefit others, we build it at no additional cost.
Can I automate emailing quotations to customers?
Yes Yes. In most cases this is a custom workflow, or you can talk to our consultants about a permanent solution that fits how you sell.
Can I ask my operational data questions in plain language?
Yes Yes. AI Studio turns plain-language questions into answers and charts, grounded in your live data, with no SQL required.
