CargoEZ is cloud-based freight forwarding software built for freight forwarders. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Milpitas, California, CargoEZ was built around a single idea: a forwarder's day should not require switching between a CRM, a rate sheet, a tracking tool, a customs filing system, and an accounting package just to move one shipment.
The platform puts all of that on one shipment record, so a lead captured in the morning can become a booked shipment by afternoon and an invoice by the time the container clears customs, with no re-typing the same data three times across three systems.
CargoEZ holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating on G2 across 40 reviews, with customers most often pointing to ease of use and a structured lead-to-invoice workflow as what sets the platform apart from heavier, more expensive systems. This page walks through what the platform includes, who it's built for, what it costs, and what to confirm on a demo call.
Who CargoEZ Is Built For
CargoEZ is built for freight forwarders, from small regional operations to growing multi-office teams. It's used by companies including Air7Seas Transport Logistics, Senator International Shipping, T.I.M.E. Cargo, and STRABE Logistics, and the CargoEZ team shows the platform regularly at industry events including NCBFAA and Breakbulk.
The platform is purpose-built around the forwarder and NVOCC workflow specifically: sales teams generating leads and quotes, operations teams moving those quotes into bookings and shipments, compliance staff filing the required customs paperwork, and finance teams invoicing and reconciling once the shipment moves. Because those four functions share the same underlying record, a rate a customer accepts carries its terms straight into the shipment file, and a shipment marked delivered carries its cost data straight into the invoice.
Inside the Platform
The Freight Forwarding module runs both air and ocean shipments, including multi-modal and intermodal moves, from booking through delivery. It handles the documentation and trade compliance work that sits at the center of a forwarder's day, with native support for Electronic Air Waybill (eAWB) transmission built in, so air shipments don't need a separate tool just to get carrier data submitted correctly. Real-time cargo tracking lives on the same screen operations staff already use to manage the shipment, not in a separate visibility product.
The CRM module is built around the sales side of the forwarder business, not a generic contact list. It runs on contact and lead management with configurable lead stages, so a sales team always knows where each opportunity stands, alongside sales tracking to monitor revenue and expense tracking to keep costs visible in the same view. CargoEZ also ships a companion mobile app for contacts and leads on the go, including an AI-powered business card scanner that reads a photographed card and auto-fills the contact record on the spot.
The Rates & Tariff module, CargoEZ's RMS, centralizes rate requests so a sales or pricing team can pull multiple carrier options side by side in one place instead of digging through separate rate sheets or email threads. Quotes are fully customizable, and once a customer accepts one, it converts straight into a shipment record with the agreed terms intact, no re-keying required.
The finance module covers receivables and payables, multi-currency invoicing, and profit and loss reporting, including consolidation reporting across multiple shipments or entities. Dashboard analytics sit on top of this data, giving finance and operations leadership a live read on margin instead of a report that lags the shipment record by days.
Customs filing lives inside the same shipment record rather than requiring a separate broker tool. CargoEZ handles AMS filing, ISF filing, and Power of Attorney (POA) documentation for US ocean shipments through one unified interface, cutting down on the manual re-entry that typically causes filing errors and delays. Keeping filings tied to the same record as the operational shipment data means the filing and the shipment never drift out of sync.
The Customer Portal gives each CargoEZ customer's own clients a branded, self-service view of their shipments, with real-time track and trace and eAWB visibility built in. It's designed to cut down the volume of "where is my shipment" emails and calls that otherwise land on an operations team, and it can be customized to match how a specific client wants to see their data.
Customer Outcomes
Air7Seas Transport Logistics has seen a 33 percent increase in sales and customer service performance since adopting CargoEZ, which Vice President Doug Roderick attributes to the structured workflow from lead management through shipment tracking.

How CargoEZ Compares
Forwarders evaluating CargoEZ are usually weighing it against larger enterprise platforms. Those systems can offer deeper functionality in specific niche areas, but that typically comes with longer implementation timelines and pricing that scales differently as shipment volume grows. CargoEZ's advantage is speed to value: a team can be productive quickly, at a lower cost, without a lengthy rollout. That makes it a strong fit for small and mid-market forwarders who want to be fully operational fast. Forwarders with complex multi-country compliance needs or a specific integration requirement should walk through those details directly on a demo call.
