Compliance is no longer a support function in the global freight and logistics industry; rather, it is a core operational requirement. Freight forwarders, customs brokers, and logistics service providers must navigate increasingly complex customs regulations, trade laws, taxation rules, and data governance standards, all while managing high shipment volumes and short delivery times. Many organizations […]
Every logistics team expresses disappointment. Shipments are moving, customers are demanding faster delivery, margins are thin, and then a shipment is delayed due to a missed screening, an outdated regulation, or a late compliance check. It’s not always dramatic, but it’s consistent. In today’s global trade environment, compliance is more than a back-office function; it […]
Recent discussions in the freight forwarding community have centered on Transitional Pricing Protection (TPP) and CargoWise Value Packs. Much of this discussion has been fueled by concerns about rising costs, potential margin pressure, and uncertainty about future billing models. These responses are understandable. Pricing changes in logistics naturally draw attention, particularly in an industry where […]
The CargoWise Value Pack (CVP) marks a significant shift in the way logistics technology is priced, delivered, and scaled.

Customs clearance has become one of the most demanding aspects of modern logistics, particularly with the UK’s transition to CDS and stricter compliance checks. Freight forwarders are increasingly reliant on digital systems to manage this complexity, with CargoWise serving as the operational core of forwarding activities and ASM Sequoia as the central platform for UK […]
Structured e-invoicing is no longer a future project; it is now a global legal requirement. Between 2025 and 2030, governments across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa will require machine-readable electronic invoices as the standard for tax compliance. Paper invoices and PDFs sent via email are rapidly declining in popularity as tax […]
As digital transformation spreads throughout global trade, invoicing is one area that is rapidly modernizing. The logistics industry, which has traditionally relied on paper-based or disparate invoice formats, is being pushed to adopt unified e-invoicing standards, particularly in the European Union. For CargoWise users, PEPPOL compliance has become an essential component of doing business with […]
