As a business, you rely on your suppliers to help keep things running smoothly. But what if your suppliers could do even more? With Cargoson’s Third-Party Ordering, you can put your suppliers to work for you by letting them handle your shipping logistics — all while using your own carrier agreements and freight rates.


What is Third-Party Ordering?

Third-party ordering allows your suppliers to book shipments on your behalf, using your negotiated freight rates and preferred carriers. In other words, instead of juggling orders and shipments yourself, you let your suppliers take care of the booking process. You still stay in control of the rates and agreements, but they do the heavy lifting.


How Does Suppliers Ordering Work for You?

When you put your suppliers to work for you with third-party ordering, a lot of the logistical burden is lifted off your shoulders. Suppliers can book shipments for your orders directly through Cargoson, ensuring they follow your pricing and carrier preferences. This means:

  • You save time — no more back-and-forth with suppliers about shipments or tracking down details.
  • Your suppliers handle the process, placing a booking, printing labels and access to tracking.
  • You remain in charge of the freight rates and service levels that have been negotiated with carriers.


Let Your Suppliers Do the Work

With Cargoson, your suppliers can manage the shipping process for you, without extra hassle or miscommunication. They book the shipments through Cargoson TMS using your agreements, ensuring everything is done according to your preferences. This helps reduce your involvement in day-to-day logistics while ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks.


How Does Third-Party Ordering Benefit Suppliers?

For suppliers, Cargoson’s Third-Party Ordering eliminates many common logistical pain points. By connecting to multiple carriers through API or EDI integrations, suppliers can:

  • Automate shipment bookings, reducing time spent on emails or phone calls.
  • Access real-time data on shipment statuses, helping to provide proactive communication to their clients.
  • Ensure smooth order fulfilment, improving customer satisfaction by offering a hands-off logistics experience.



Better Results, Less Effort

When you use third-party ordering, you turn your suppliers into an extended part of your team. They handle the freight, and you get the benefits — without needing to micromanage every detail. Instead of handling every step of logistics on your own, you can rely on your suppliers to handle bookings and shipments while sticking to your terms. You don’t have to worry about them using their own carriers or rates — everything follows the rules you've already set. This keeps things simple and ensures you always get the services and prices you've agreed to.

By using Cargoson’s Third-Party Ordering, you’re not just offloading tasks — you’re turning your suppliers into a more active partner in your business. Let them handle the bookings, so you can gain an overview and delegate some of the tasks.
