Connectivity: the networking that powers logistics

Author: Natalia Noczeń

In logistics, connections make all the difference – and we don’t just mean the route between point A and B. Connectivity means much more. It's the ability to seamlessly connect systems, partners, and processes – a capability that brings real competitive advantage. At a time when transport capacity is shrinking rapidly and customer expectations are rising, lack of integration means lost time, money, and growth potential.

What does it mean to be “connected”? – it’s more than just tech

At CargoON, connectivity isn’t just about interfaces. It’s about real, functional links that enable:

– wireless transmission of orders and statuses between ERP/TMS systems and CargoON via API,

– instant access to a network of over 25,000 carriers – no manual sourcing required,

– automatic carrier selection based on set rules and historical data,

– document exchange (eCMR, confirmations, invoices) within a single ecosystem.

This means fewer systems – and just one platform. You reduce the number of clicks, save time, and, most importantly, let people – not manual processes – make decisions.

Case study: CargoON + Asseco ERP

Let’s look at a real-world example. A retail company implemented the Asseco Business Solutions ERP system, fully integrated with CargoON. The results? Transport orders are generated directly in the ERP system and automatically sent to CargoON,
the system selects the carrier based on predefined priorities, all transport data (statuses, documents, confirmations) is returned to the ERP, real-time visibility enables fast decisions – no need to wait for reports.

 

Integration of CargoON with our ERP system is an important step towards full digitization and automation of logistics processes. It allows companies to gain transparency of operations, faster response and better customer service. It's also a major step toward modern standards for transportation management

Key results

The key results of the integration include an 80% reduction in errors from manual data entry, a significant decrease in reaction time to freight changes from hours to minutes, access to additional freight options beyond the fixed carrier base, and everything being managed in one centralized ecosystem.

Why does it work?

With this kind of integration:

– no more “technology silos” – ERP, freight exchanges, TMS, and CargoON become one environment,

– data is consistent, continuous, and available to all stakeholders,

– operators and managers have access to detailed transport KPIs directly in the ERP system,

– carriers can respond quickly – once a status is updated, it’s visible on both sides instantly.

In summary — connectivity works

Connectivity is more than a buzzword. It delivers real, measurable benefits:
