CargoSmart (now operating as IQAX) is a global shipment management software provider that gives shippers, consignees, freight forwarders, and logistics service providers ocean freight booking, container tracking, vessel scheduling, and shipping documentation tools across multiple ocean carriers. CargoSmart co-founded the Global Shipping Business Network (GSBN), a blockchain-based data exchange for carriers, terminals, banks, and customs authorities, and exposes its APIs so trading partners can embed booking, visibility, schedule, and documentation workflows directly into TMS, ERP, and supply-chain platforms.
