Webinar: How importers save hours every month with the Cargoplot API

You book your shipments in Cargoplot, but your orders are in your ERP, your stock in another system and your margins in Excel. So someone on your team becomes the bridge: retyping ETAs, uploading documents, dividing invoices over orders. Every single shipment. And that takes time: for one of our clients, it took half an hour per shipment.

In this webinar, we show how Cargoplot clients automated that bridge with our API. We follow a shipment from the moment it's on its way, and you'll see how clients:

• Track their shipments automatically in their own system, including ETA changes
• Process documents automatically, without uploading or retyping
• See the real cost per order, including freight, import duties and VAT
• Plan their purchasing based on up-to-date arrival data

And we show how one client closes the loop: as soon as the planning shows which orders are ready, the next inquiry goes to Cargoplot in one click.

Finally, we show what you need to get started. Good to know: several of these clients built their integration without their own IT team. All with real examples from users and without technical jargon.

This webinar is for importers who want to spend less time on manual work, whether you already use the Cargoplot API or are just curious about what it can do.

Meet the speakers

Che van der Lee is Lead Account Executive at Cargoplot. He sees every day how smaller importers fall through the cracks with the big logistics players, and he has made it his mission to break open the black box of freight forwarding. In this webinar, he uses real client examples to show how importers save time and manual work with the API.

Jochem Loedeman is Software Engineer at Cargoplot. Before that, he worked as an engineer on data platforms at companies including Ahold Delhaize and Xebia, and he studied Artificial Intelligence at the University of Amsterdam. He translates the technology behind the API into plain language and shows what you need to get started.

On 29 October at 11:00, Che and Jochem walk you through real examples of clients who use the API every day.
