Detailed Review
The imprint names CargoSoft GmbH, Buschhoehe 10, Bremen, registered at the Amtsgericht Bremen (HRB 19594). The vendor describes itself as making software for transport and logistics.
Its news page references a new TMS announced at LogiMAT 2026 that links processes, AI and the established TMS world.
Forwarder Workflows
The product overview lists TMS modules for general shipping orders, air freight (eAWB creation, CASS billing, IATA rates), sea freight (export and import orders, pre- and on-carriage, customs clearance, port connections) and invoicing with financial accounting links.
Compliance Modules
Add-ons include ATLAS customs, ICS2 (the EU import security system), automated sanctions list screening and a certified CO2 emissions calculator.
Portals and Integration
eForwarding is an internet portal for offers, bookings and tracking, and a REST API and EDI interfaces allow data exchange with other systems.
Limitations to Consider
CargoSoft targets freight forwarders, so a manufacturer looking for shipper-side tendering should consider Alpega or CargoON. Prices are not published, and the pages reviewed do not state hosting region or deployment options.
