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.
