The panel's verdict
Cargoson is a transport management system for manufacturers and wholesalers, and the scores follow that shape. Freight and transport is the strongest area at 7-8: uploaded price lists compared within seconds, spot price requests, tender management, CMR editing, invoice checks against pre-agreed amounts, and CO2 estimates for road, air, sea and rail. Inventory control sits at 0 — we found no public information on stock figures, bin locations, batches or serial numbers. Warehouse operations lands at 2-3, limited to a loading calendar, dock scheduling and packing slips. Shipping and returns splits 4-6: higher scores credit a long carrier list, own carrier contracts and automatic booking; lower ones point to no documented returns portal, customs documents for non-EU destinations or bulk label printing. Pricing is published — Basic from €199 per month, billed annually, with 2 users and 100 shipments, up to Enterprise from €1000 — but a one-time setup fee applies to all tiers without a published amount. The contracting entity is Cargoson OÜ in Estonia; sovereignty scores 4-5, with data processed there on AWS and the region unnamed.
Speaks for it
- Freight and transport scoring 7-8, covering uploaded price-list comparison, spot price requests, tender management, CMR editing, invoice checks against pre-agreed amounts and multi-modal tracking.
- Own carrier contracts with no per-shipment fees, and new carrier integrations built free on request.
- Named connectors to Microsoft Business Central, Odoo, Magento, WooCommerce and Directo, with one API said to cover all present and future carrier connections.
- Published tiers — Basic from €199 per month, billed annually, Standard from €399, Advanced from €599, Enterprise from €1000 — with priced add-ons such as CO₂ reporting at +€50.
- CO2 estimates for road, air, sea and rail with Excel export and a REST API.
Held against it
- Inventory control at 0, with no public information on stock figures, bin locations, batches or serial numbers.
- Warehouse operations at 2-3, documented only to a loading calendar, dock scheduling and packing slips.
- No public information on a returns portal, customs documents for non-EU destinations or bulk label printing, leaving shipping and returns at 4-6.
- A one-time setup fee applies to all tiers with no published amount, and the price of shipments beyond the allowance is not stated.
- No public information on a data processing agreement, subprocessor list or security certification, and the AWS region is not named.
Best for
- You ship on your own carrier contracts and want agreed price lists uploaded, compared and booked automatically.
- Your freight work spans parcel, groupage, LTL, FTL, air, sea and rail, and you need milestone tracking plus invoice checks against pre-agreed amounts.
- You run Microsoft Business Central, Odoo, Magento, WooCommerce or Directo and want shipments created automatically from order data.
- You need per-shipment CO2 estimates across road, air, sea and rail with Excel exports.
Avoid if
- You need the software itself to hold stock — bin locations, batches, serial numbers or stock synchronised to sales channels.
- Your warehouse team needs the receiving-to-pack workflow — goods receipt, putaway, scan-verified picking — in the same tool; what the pages document serves loading and dispatch.
- You run parcel-heavy e-commerce needing returns and customs flows — the label generator is positioned for occasional shipping.
- You must compute the full first-year cost before signing — a setup fee applies to all tiers without a published figure and shipments beyond the allowance are unpriced.

Inventory & stock control
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether the stock figure can be trusted: every goods receipt, sale, transfer, return and correction booked as a movement, stock per location and channel, batches, serial numbers and best-before dates where the goods need them, reorder points and purchase orders, and stock synchronised to every sales channel so nothing is oversold.
0 — No stock keeping; quantities live in the shop or in a spreadsheet.
3 — A stock number per product that can be edited by hand, with no movement history, no locations and no link to purchasing.
5 — Stock per product and warehouse updated by orders and goods receipts, synchronised to the connected sales channels, with low-stock alerts and purchase orders to suppliers.
8 — Every movement booked with a reason and a user, stock per bin location, batches, serial numbers and expiry dates tracked, stocktaking (cycle or annual) supported, bundles and kits resolved to components, and reorder suggestions from sales history.
10 — The stock record is an audit-proof ledger: complete movement history exportable, inventory valuation method stated (FIFO, average cost), multi-warehouse and multi-entity stock with transfers in transit, demand forecasting documented, and the stock figure reconciled across every channel in near real time.
The E-Commerce Operations Lead
For a shop running three hundred parcels a day the stock figure is everything, and the captured pages describe a transport management system for manufacturers and wholesalers whose modules run to freight rates, carrier integrations and dock scheduling; we found no public information on stock levels, movement history, bin locations or synchronisation to shops and marketplaces. 1 10
The Warehouse Manager
Everything on the captured pages is about freight prices, transport bookings and tracking — a transport management system for manufacturers and wholesalers, not a stock system. We found no public information on goods-receipt bookings, movement history, bin locations, batches, serial numbers or best-before dates, so there is no stock figure here I could run two shifts on. 1 10
The Transport Planner
The captured pages present this as transport management software for manufacturers and wholesalers, and the published module list covers transport, rate and surcharge management, carrier integration and dock scheduling only. We found no public information on stock keeping, movement history, stock locations or synchronisation to sales channels, so quantities would live in whatever stock system feeds the transport orders. 10 1 3
The Fulfilment Provider
The captured pages position this as transportation management software for manufacturers and wholesalers, with shipments created from order data held in an ERP, online store or WMS rather than from a stock record of its own. I found no public information on stock movements, bin locations, batches, serial numbers, best-before dates or stock synchronised to sales channels, so this cannot be the system of record for my twenty-two clients' inventory. 1 5 6
The IT & Integration Lead
Everything on the captured pages positions this as transport management for manufacturers — price lists, bookings, tracking, CO2 — and I found no public information on stock figures, movement history, bin locations, batches, serials or stock synchronisation to sales channels. 1 3
The Skeptic
The vendor's own pages position this as transport management for manufacturers and wholesalers, and the published module list covers rates, surcharges, carrier integration, tracking and dock scheduling — stock keeping is not among them. We found no public information on stock figures, movement history, locations or channel synchronisation; the stock side sits with the ERPs, shops and partner warehouses it connects to. 1 6 10
Warehouse operations: receiving, picking & packing
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
The physical work in the warehouse: goods receipt against a purchase order, putaway to bin locations, picking strategies (single order, batch, wave, zone), scanner and mobile app guidance, packing with checks, and the performance figures a warehouse lead runs the shift by.
0 — No warehouse process support; staff print the order and walk.
3 — A pick list or packing slip printed per order, with no bin locations, no scanning and no check that the right item went into the box.
5 — Bin locations, goods receipt against purchase orders, pick lists sorted by route, and barcode scanning on a phone or scanner to confirm picks and packs.
8 — Several picking strategies (batch, wave, multi-order trolley), putaway suggestions, packing with weight or scan verification, handheld scanner support named, and pick, pack and error rates reported per user and shift.
10 — A full WMS documented end to end: slotting and replenishment, cross-docking, multi-client operation for 3PLs with client billing, integration with automation (conveyors, pick-to-light, AutoStore or similar) named, and offline-tolerant mobile apps with an audit trail of every scan.
The E-Commerce Operations Lead
The evidence reaches a printable slip and a loading calendar: a free generator produces packing slips on A6/4x6 paper listing shipper, reference, packages and weight, the Loading Calendar organises loadings on a touch-screen dashboard, and dock scheduling is a listed module; we found no public information on goods receipt against purchase orders, putaway, bin locations or scan-verified picking. 3 7 10
The Warehouse Manager
What touches my floor is a loading calendar dashboard for organising loadings, dock scheduling software, and a label template that also produces packing slips — that helps the outbound ramp and nothing else. We found no public information on goods receipt against a purchase order, putaway to bin locations, scanner-guided picking, or pick and error rates per shift. 3 7 8
The Transport Planner
A loading-calendar add-on for organising loadings, dock scheduling software and a free generator that produces labels and packing slips on A6 or 4x6 inch paper are documented. We found no public information on goods receipt against purchase orders, putaway to bin locations, picking strategies or scanning, so what is documented serves loading and dispatch rather than the receiving-to-pack workflow. 3 10 7 8
The Fulfilment Provider
What the pages show for the warehouse floor is a loading calendar described as a live warehouse dashboard for organising loadings with its own user roles, dock scheduling software, a free shipping-label and packing-slip generator, and two warehouse providers named as connected partners. I found no public information on goods receipt against purchase orders, putaway to bin locations, pick routes, scanning or any check that the right item went into the box — the processes my shifts run on. 3 5 7 8
The IT & Integration Lead
What the pages show is a loading calendar dashboard for organising loadings, packing slips generated from a shipping label template, and transport orders passed to two warehouse partners; I found no public information on goods receipt against purchase orders, bin locations, picking strategies or scan verification. 3 5 6 7
The Skeptic
What the pages show for the warehouse side is a loading calendar dashboard, dock scheduling as a named module, and a free packing-slip and label template pitched for occasional shipping. The receiving, picking and packing work itself is documented as done by partner warehouses (Via 3L, Smarten Logistics) whose systems it exchanges transport orders, labels and tracking with — we found no public information on goods receipt, bin locations or scan verification of its own. 3 5 6 7 8
Multi-carrier shipping & returns
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Getting parcels out and back: carriers connected, label creation in bulk, rules that pick the carrier and service, customs documents for non-EU destinations, tracking and the notifications the recipient sees, a returns portal, and whether the customer uses its own carrier contracts or buys labels through the vendor.
0 — No shipping features; labels come from each carrier's own portal.
3 — Labels for one or two carriers created one by one, with no rules, no tracking for the recipient and no returns handling.
5 — Several carriers connected with bulk label printing, a choice between own carrier contracts and vendor rates, tracking numbers written back to the shop, and a basic returns label flow.
8 — Shipping rules by weight, destination, value and channel choose carrier and service automatically, customs documents (CN22/CN23, commercial invoice, EORI, HS codes) generated, branded tracking pages and notifications, a self-service returns portal with reasons, and pickup points supported.
10 — Shipping runs without a person: rate comparison across carriers at label time, own contracts for every connected carrier, delivery promise and checkout options from live carrier data, returns with refund or exchange triggered on receipt, and carrier performance and cost reported per lane.
The E-Commerce Operations Lead
Own carrier contracts are the rule here — "not a transport broker" — with every mode from parcel to air, predefined rules that choose and book the carrier, tracking milestones updated from the carrier's system, branded e-mail notifications with labels and licence plates, a parcel-locker list and automated printing through PrintNode; the customs papers I need for Switzerland and any returns flow are not documented on the pages we read. 1 3 5 6 8
The Warehouse Manager
Multi-carrier shipping is well documented: I bring my own carrier contracts, labels carry shipper, consignment ID, packages, weight and barcode on A6 or 4x6 paper, parcel lockers are listed, tracking runs across carriers with tracking links returned to my business software, and predefined rules choose the carrier automatically. We found no public information on a returns portal or customs documents for non-EU destinations, which keeps it a step below the top. 1 3 5 6 7 8
The Transport Planner
A long carrier list is published with many carriers visible before pagination, labels print in standard formats, tracking links and branded notifications go to recipients, parcel lockers are listed, and it is said plainly that you bring your own carrier contracts rather than buying rates through the vendor. We found no public information on customs documents for non-EU destinations, bulk label runs or a returns portal, which holds it below the full multi-carrier level. 2 7 5 3 6
The Fulfilment Provider
Carriers are connected in a long paginated list spanning parcel, groupage, LTL and FTL, everything ships on my own carrier contracts with predefined rules choosing the carrier and booking automatically, tracking milestones update from carrier systems, branded notifications carry labels, ETA and documents, and parcel lockers are listed. I found no public information on customs documents for non-EU destinations, bulk label printing or any returns flow, which my e-commerce clients would need. 1 3 5 8
The IT & Integration Lead
Carrier breadth is real — a list running from DHL Express and FedEx to Venipak and Eesti Post with more behind a load-more control — under my own carrier contracts, with predefined booking rules, tracking milestones updated from carrier systems, branded notifications and parcel-locker lists; I found no public information on customs documents, bulk label printing or a returns portal. 1 2 3 5 7 8
The Skeptic
A long carrier list (DHL Express, FedEx, Schenker, InPost among the visible names), own carrier contracts assumed on every plan with "no hidden commissions, no per-shipment fees", labels and tracking links generated automatically and written back to the business software, and parcel lockers listed — that is the good half of the story. The captured pages show no returns portal or returns label flow, no customs paperwork, and the free label generator is aimed at occasional shipping, so it sits below the level a parcel-heavy buyer needs. 2 3 5 6 7 8
Freight & transport management
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Moving goods beyond parcels: pallet, groupage, full and part truckload, sea and air freight booked with carriers or forwarders, quotes and tenders compared, transport orders and documents (CMR, eCMR, delivery notes), shipment tracking across modes, freight cost audit, and CO2 emissions reported per shipment.
0 — No freight features; pallets and trucks are booked by phone and e-mail.
3 — A form to send a booking request to one forwarder, or freight rates shown without booking, tracking or documents.
5 — Pallet and groupage shipments booked with several carriers from one place, prices compared, transport documents generated, and the shipment status tracked.
8 — Spot quotes and tenders sent to many carriers with responses compared, the customer's own freight agreements and rate tables stored, eCMR or digital delivery notes, multi-modal tracking, freight invoices checked against the agreed price, and CO2 per shipment reported to a named standard (GLEC, ISO 14083).
10 — Transport management run in the system: route and load planning, dock and yard slot booking, carrier scorecards, freight cost allocated to orders and cost centres, and a carrier network that connects by API or EDI rather than by e-mail.
The E-Commerce Operations Lead
This is the product's home ground: uploaded pricelists compared against carriers' API prices, spot price requests, tender management and analytics, a CMR editing tool, transport invoices compared with pre-agreed amounts, multi-carrier tracking and CO2 estimates for road, air, sea and rail with Excel export; the one gap is that the CO2 methodology is only available by contacting support and no calculation standard is named. 1 3 5 6 9
The Warehouse Manager
This is the heart of the product: uploaded price lists and spot price requests compared across carriers, tender management, automated booking on rules, CMR editing, proof-of-delivery and invoice comparison against pre-agreed amounts, milestone tracking across parcel, groupage, LTL, FTL, air, sea and rail, plus CO2 estimates for every mode with Excel export and per-mode dashboard figures. The CO2 methodology report only comes through support, and we found no public information on route and load planning or carrier scorecards, so I stop just below full marks. 1 3 5 6 8 9
The Transport Planner
This covers what I book every week: agreed price lists uploaded and compared, spot prices requested from carriers, carrier prices and lead times compared in one dashboard, bookings placed and tracked across parcel, groupage, LTL, FTL, air, sea and rail. Transport invoices can be compared against pre-calculated or pre-agreed amounts, a CMR editing tool and POD management are listed, and CO2 estimates per carrier and transport mode appear in the dashboard with Excel reports and an API. The CO2 methodology report is only available by contacting support so the calculation standard is not named on the public page, and we found no public information on route and load planning or carrier scorecards. 1 3 5 6 9
The Fulfilment Provider
This is where the product lives: uploaded price lists compared within seconds, spot prices requested from carriers, tender management and automated booking as add-ons, a CMR editing tool, multi-modal tracking with collection and arrival monitoring, transport invoices compared against pre-agreed amounts, and CO2 estimated for road, air, sea and rail with Excel exports and a methodology report available on request. The emissions standard is not stated on the captured pages, and I found no public information on route or load planning and carrier scorecards. 1 3 6 9
The IT & Integration Lead
This is the product's home ground: quotes from my own price lists plus spot requests, a tender add-on, CMR editing, invoice checks against pre-agreed amounts, dock scheduling, tracking across parcel, road, sea, air and rail, and per-shipment CO2 exportable to Excel — though the CO2 methodology report comes only on request from support rather than as a published standard. 1 3 6 8 9
The Skeptic
This is the heart of the product and it is documented properly: every mode from parcel and groupage to FTL, air, sea and rail, uploaded price lists compared with carriers' API prices, spot price requests, rule-based automatic booking, multi-carrier tracking with milestones from carrier systems, delayed-shipment reports, invoices compared against pre-agreed amounts, and CO2 per shipment with Excel export. It stops short of the top tier: the CO2 methodology is only available by e-mailing support rather than published to a named standard, tenders sit behind an add-on, and we found no public information on route and load planning or freight cost allocation to orders and cost centres. 1 3 5 6 9 10
Integrations, automation & exit
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the tool fits the business around it: maintained connectors to shop systems, marketplaces, ERP and accounting (DATEV and the like), a documented API and webhooks, EDI for retail and logistics partners, rules that automate order routing and status updates, and a documented export of orders, stock and shipment history when the customer leaves.
0 — No integrations; orders are typed in or uploaded by hand.
3 — A CSV import and export and one or two shop connectors, with no API and no automation.
5 — Connectors to the main shop systems and marketplaces, a public API with documentation, and rules for common automations (order status, carrier choice, notifications).
8 — A broad connector list with ERP and accounting exports, webhooks, EDI (EDIFACT or similar) supported or offered through a named partner, rule engines for order routing across warehouses, and the API rate limits and versioning documented.
10 — The tool is an open part of the stack: every object readable and writable by API, a developer sandbox, connectors maintained by the vendor with a stated support policy, and a complete data export (orders, stock movements, shipments, documents) in open formats documented for the end of the contract.
The E-Commerce Operations Lead
Named connectors cover Microsoft Business Central, Odoo, Magento, WooCommerce and Directo, one API is said to cover all present and future carrier integrations, Enterprise raises API rate limits, and rules create shipments automatically from ERP or shop order data; we found no public information on webhooks, EDI, API documentation with versioning, or an export of order and shipment history at the end of the contract. 1 3 5 10
The Warehouse Manager
Connectors to Microsoft Business Central, Odoo, Magento, WooCommerce and Directo are listed, one API is said to cover all present and future carrier integrations, shipments are created automatically from ERP or online-store order data, and new carrier integrations are built free on request. We found no public information on webhooks, EDI, published API documentation with rate limits and versioning, or a documented end-of-contract export of my order and shipment history. 1 3 5 10 11
The Transport Planner
Connectors are documented to Microsoft Business Central, Odoo, Magento, WooCommerce and Directo, with a dedicated Odoo shipping module, a single API covering all present and future carrier integrations, and shipments created automatically from ERP or shop order data with tracking statuses written back. Automated printing via PrintNode and predefined rules that book the carrier automatically are also listed. We found no public information on webhooks, EDI, published API documentation with rate limits and versioning, or a documented export of the full shipment history at the end of the contract. 1 5 11 3 6

The IT & Integration Lead
Connectors to Business Central, Odoo, Magento, WooCommerce and Directo, one API said to cover all present and future carrier integrations, free on-request carrier integrations, and shipments auto-created from ERP or shop order data with statuses written back; I found no public information on webhooks, EDI, DATEV exports, API documentation with rate limits and versioning, or a documented export of orders and shipment history when the contract ends. 1 3 5 10
The Skeptic
Named connectors to Microsoft Business Central, Odoo, Magento, WooCommerce and Directo, a partner directory covering e-shops, ERPs and WMSs, one API claimed to cover all present and future carrier integrations, automatic shipment creation from order data, and PrintNode printing — a real connector story, not just logos. But we found no public API documentation, no webhooks or EDI, API rate limits appear only as an Enterprise perk with no numbers stated, and nothing documents how order and shipment history is exported when the contract ends — the exit door is the part buyers forget to ask about. 1 3 5 9 10

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where order, customer and shipment data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, carriers' label APIs, payment, e-mail, analytics). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; recipient addresses flow to every connected carrier, so the processing chain counts, not only the server.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no privacy policy that covers the service.
3 — A privacy policy exists, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the processors behind the service are not named.
5 — EU hosting stated and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain (support, e-mail, analytics, payment) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with locations, a data processing agreement offered for the recipient and customer data, and the role of carriers (as independent controllers or processors) explained.

Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: subscription per tier, user, warehouse or module, the per-order, per-label or per-shipment fees, label rates and surcharges when shipping through the vendor's contracts, connector and setup fees, hardware, minimum term, and what happens to the data on cancellation.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.
3 — A starting price or "from" figure exists, but the volume fees, included orders or labels, and how the price scales are unclear.
5 — Prices per tier are public with the main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (per-order or per-label fees beyond the allowance, connectors, extra users or warehouses, onboarding) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every tier priced publicly with included volumes and the fee per order, label or shipment beyond them, add-ons and setup listed, minimum term and VAT treatment stated, and whether own carrier contracts are allowed on each tier said plainly.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given order volume, warehouse count and module set, with every fee, label surcharge, hardware and support cost and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The E-Commerce Operations Lead
Tiers are public down to the included volumes — Basic from €199 per month billed annually with 2 users and 100 shipments, Standard from €399 with 1,000, Advanced from €599 with 3,000, Enterprise from €1000 with unlimited users — add-ons carry prices (+€50 CO2 reporting, +€100 transport pricing engine), monthly billing costs more, and no long-term commitment is required; but the setup fee that applies to every tier and the cost of shipments beyond the allowance are not stated. 3 6
The Warehouse Manager
Four tiers are published with included users and monthly shipment volumes — Basic from €199 per month billed annually with 2 users and 100 shipments, Standard from €399 with 5 users and 1,000 shipments, Advanced from €599 with 10 users and 3,000 shipments, Enterprise from €1000 with unlimited users — and add-ons carry prices, carrier integrations cost nothing, no per-shipment fees are charged, and there is no long-term commitment. A one-time setup fee applies to all tiers without a published amount, and we found no public information on the price of shipments beyond the allowance, the monthly-billing premium, or VAT treatment. 3 6
The Transport Planner
All four tiers are published with included users and shipments per month — Basic from €199 per month billed annually, Standard from €399, Advanced from €599, Enterprise from €1000 — and add-ons carry prices: CO₂ reporting +€50, lead time calculation +€50, transport pricing engine +€100. No per-shipment commissions, no long-term commitment, prorated plan changes, and it is said plainly that you bring your own carrier contracts. The one-time setup fee applies to all tiers but no figure is published, additional shipments beyond the allowance are unpriced, and the VAT treatment of prices is not stated. 3 6 1

Every plan carries a public price with included users and shipment volumes — Basic from €199 per month, billed annually, with 100 shipments, Standard from €399 with 1,000, Advanced from €599 with 3,000 — add-ons are priced (CO2 reporting +€50, transport pricing engine +€100), no per-shipment commissions are charged, own carrier contracts are stated plainly and no long-term commitment is required. A one-time setup fee applies to all tiers but its amount is not published, and the cost of shipments beyond the allowance and the higher monthly-billing rate are not stated. 3 6

The Skeptic
All three tiers are public with included users and monthly shipment volumes (100, 1,000, 3,000), add-ons carry prices (CO2 +€50, lead time +€50, pricing engine +€100), plans can be changed prorated with no long-term commitment, and the own-contracts-not-a-broker stance plus "no per-shipment fees" is stated plainly — no label-margin games here. Still, a buyer cannot compute the annual cost: the setup fee applies to every tier but shows no amount, the price of additional shipments beyond the allowance is not stated, one tender add-on appears without a price, and VAT treatment is absent from the pages. 3 1

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 26 Oct 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Data residency, Legal entity. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- Weak sourcing — Subprocessors. The page does not name the AWS contracting entity or server region, and Google Analytics in the privacy policy only touches the marketing website, not customer data.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
