Order
Shipment

The shipment data is copied from the order or shipment.

You can either request quotes and click on a suitable offer, or skip it and place a direct booking.

ETA, ETD and CO2 calculation

When requesting freight prices or placing a transport booking, you also receive:

ETD: Estimated Time of Departure of the shipment (collection date)
ETA: Estimated Time of Arrival of the shipment (delivery date)
CO2e emissions: estimated shipment GHGs which takes into account:
- the freight/service type (air, sea, road, courier, rail),
- estimated vessel/truck/plane type,
- the specific carrier's fleet (when information available),
- travel distance (via roads, shipping lanes or airways),
- quantity of goods (both the weight and volume),
... and other factors.

Shipping labels

After placing a transport order, the shipping labels can be opened and printed directly in Ongoing.

e-Waybill

After placing a transport order, the e-Waybill can be opened and printed directly in Ongoing.

This requires the user to be signed in to Cargoson.

CMR

After placing a transport order, the CMR can be opened and printed directly in Ongoing.

This requires the user to be signed in to Cargoson.

Tracking

The shipment's tracking link will be saved in your Ongoing WMS.

In addition, the shipment's tracking milestones are automatically updated based on the info saved in the carrier's system. You can see the status directly on your Ongoing order or shipment without opening the tracking link.

Your time is valuable

If you use multiple carriers, we believe that using one system to work with all of them is the most efficient use of your time and resources.

Skip the manual work

Your contacts, orders and shipment data already exists in Ongoing. Stop copying it to different carrier systems or sending it via email.

Instead, make use of it: integrate Ongoing with Cargoson and your data will be exchanged with all of your carriers automatically! This will also avoid human errors.
