Illustrative workflow

Built for your operating reality.

The challenges below are the ones we see most often in air logistics operations. CargoSense addresses each one with connected workflows, not disconnected tools.

Cut-off misses

Shipments arrive at the origin terminal after flight cut-off, causing missed flights and customer complaints.

Chargeable weight disputes

Volumetric weight calculations are done manually or in spreadsheets, leading to billing discrepancies.

Handoff gaps

Origin handling, air movement and destination delivery are tracked in separate systems, losing shipment context.

Exception lag

Flight delays, missed connections and customs holds are discovered late, reducing response time.

How it works.

Every step in the air logistics workflow stays connected to the same shipment record — shared by operations, finance and customer service teams.

Frequently asked questions.

Does CargoSense calculate volumetric weight automatically?

Yes. When you enter dimensions (length, width, height) and actual weight, CargoSense calculates volumetric weight and determines the chargeable weight based on configurable carrier rules.

Can I track multiple flight legs in one shipment?

Yes. A single shipment can include multiple flight legs with connection details. Each leg has its own milestones while rolling up to one shipment timeline.

How does cut-off awareness work?

CargoSense compares the shipment's terminal acceptance time against the configured flight cut-off time and alerts origin teams when a shipment is at risk of missing the cut-off.

Can I manage customs documentation?

Yes. Customs declarations, handling certificates and related documents can be stored against the shipment and accessed by authorized roles.
