CargoWise

CargoWise is WiseTech Global's logistics execution platform - a single-database ERP for international freight forwarding, customs, warehousing, transport, and landside logistics. Its integration surface is delivered primarily through eAdaptor, which pairs a RESTful XML inbound service (push, query, add, and update records) with a SOAP-based outbound service (a webhook equivalent that emits messages on milestones). Payloads use CargoWise's Universal XML schemas - Universal Shipment (XUS), Universal Event (XUE), and Universal Transaction - or the legacy Native XML format. Newer REST integration (eAdaptor Next / xHub) adds OAuth 2.0 authorization-code access. The integration API is real but heavily gated - the eAdaptor Developers Guide and endpoint details are released only after a customer purchases the eAdaptor modules, and partner access runs through WiseTech accreditation and certification. Endpoints below are modeled from public developer references; the authoritative specification is not publicly published.

CargoWise is listed with 5 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Logistics, Freight Forwarding, Supply Chain, Customs, and Shipping.

CargoWise’s developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, documentation, pricing, support, and 22 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

  description: The eAdaptor Inbound Service is a RESTful XML interface for pushing data into a CargoWise (CW1) instance and
    querying records. A single inbound endpoint accepts a Universal XML or Native XML payload; the XML determines whether
    the request queries, adds, or updates records. Endpoints are per-tenant and gated behind the eAdaptor module purchase;
    CargoWise publishes no public specification for it.

  description: The eAdaptor Outbound Service is the webhook equivalent - CargoWise emits messages to a listening SOAP service
    when configured Workflow Template milestones or triggers fire. Actions are set to XUS (full Universal Shipment detail)
    or XUE (minimal Universal Event detail) with the recipient set to the Organization Proxy (ORP). The reference open-source
    client exposes the SOAP operations Ping, SendStream, and the deprecated ProcessStream against an eAdapterStreamedService.wsdl
    endpoint. Only one outbound SOAP URL can be configured per CargoWise instance. CargoWise publishes no public WSDL or specification;
    the operation names come from a third-party client.

    shipment, customs declaration, warehouse order, transport leg, and the associated organizations, packing lines, and charges.
    It is carried over eAdaptor inbound (to create or update) and outbound (to notify), wrapped in a UniversalInterchange
    envelope. The schema is documented in the Universal XML Mapping Guide; the runtime endpoints are the eAdaptor services
    and are gated per tenant.
