Whether you're managing parcel, road, rail, air or sea freight, Cario provides a single platform to connect carriers, execute shipments, improve visibility and control freight costs. Many organisations rely on multiple carrier portals, spreadsheets, manual processes and disconnected systems to manage freight. Cario brings these activities together into one integrated platform, helping operations, warehouse, customer service and finance teams work from a single source of truth. From freight booking and carrier selection through to delivery tracking, Proof of Delivery and invoice reconciliation, Cario streamlines the entire freight lifecycle. With connectivity to more than 500 carriers and transport providers, businesses can leverage existing carrier relationships, contracted rates and preferred services while gaining the flexibility to expand carrier choice as their network grows. Users can compare carrier services, automate freight bookings, generate labels and consignments, and monitor shipments across multiple carriers from one platform. Warehouse and logistics teams can automate dispatch processes, create carrier-compliant labels, generate consignments and manage freight movements more efficiently. By reducing manual administration and standardising workflows, organisations can increase throughput while improving accuracy and service consistency. Customer service teams benefit from real-time shipment visibility, delivery milestone tracking and access to estimated arrival times (ETAs). Users can monitor freight progress, proactively manage delivery exceptions and access signed Proof of Delivery (POD) records, enabling faster responses to customer enquiries and improved service outcomes. Finance teams gain powerful freight audit, freight cost intelligence and invoice reconciliation capabilities. Carrier invoices can be validated against contracted rates and shipment data, helping identify discrepancies, reduce overcharges and improve financial control. Detailed reporting allows organisations to understand freight spend by carrier, customer, lane, location or business unit and identify opportunities for cost optimisation. Advanced analytics provide insights into carrier performance, delivery outcomes, freight costs and operational efficiency. Organisations can track key performance indicators, analyse trends and make data-driven decisions to continuously improve freight operations and service levels. Cario also incorporates AI-powered insights that help teams identify freight cost anomalies, carrier performance issues, service trends and optimisation opportunities hidden within large volumes of operational and financial data. The platform integrates seamlessly with ERP systems, Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), eCommerce platforms, financial applications and other enterprise technologies through APIs and pre-built integrations. For organisations using Microsoft and SAP technologies, Cario extends the value of those investments by connecting enterprise business processes with real-world freight execution. Key capabilities include multi-carrier freight management, carrier connectivity, freight quoting and booking, label and consignment generation, shipment tracking, Proof of Delivery, returns management, Advance Ship Notices (ASNs), freight audit and invoice reconciliation, freight cost intelligence, carrier performance reporting, Scope 3 emissions visibility, AI-powered operational insights and workflow automation. Whether your goal is reducing freight costs, improving customer service, increasing operational efficiency or gaining greater control and visibility across your supply chain, Cario provides the technology, connectivity and intelligence needed to manage modern freight operations at scale. > > Verdict: Rated **4.9/5** by 25 users.

Always pushing the system to do more and more. Really excited about their AI bot. > > **Cons**: Some custom functionality built for our implementation. Took a while for design but working well. > > Great. The team are accessible, very knowledgeable. Much more refreshing than dealing with a multinational. ----- ### "New freight system" — 5.0/5 > **Zoe** | *29 May 2021* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to integrate into our WMS, so our orders flow straight from ordering system to fulfilment system. We can now scan and our labels print immediately. Warehouse guys excited with time saved. > > **Cons**: As part of our go live we wanted multi leg consignments. This has taken a while to get set up. I understand it is complex but I expected it day one. > > Really improved our order to fulfilment process. We have saved 2 FTE's by implementing Cario ----- ### "Cario Review" — 4.0/5 > **Peter** | *8 April 2020* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Quick Quote function is easy to use and easy to do multiple quotes > > **Cons**: the tracking function isn't always up to date > > Overall Cario has been good for Printgraphics, it gives us different options of freight carriers, easy \& quick to estimate prices, easy to produce consignment labels and book in pick ups. Anything that can save us time and money is a good thing. ----- ### "Review of Cario TMS" — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *17 April 2020* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great user interface. Ability to deal with all of our carriers like TNT, Toll and StarTrack through the one system. > > **Cons**: We should have integrated this sooner. This has saved so much time. ----- ### "Automated our entire supply chain" — 5.0/5 > **Lisa** | *2 June 2021* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cario has automated our operations. Rather than manually quoting, booking and tracking our freight, it is now all automated. Cario chooses our lowest cost supplier, and we can see when our warehouse chooses a more expensive one. This out of the box report (lowest cost comparison) has transformed our freight costs. > > **Cons**: Initially our team enabled too many carriers in Cario, which meant our warehouse didn't run smoothly. We now use between 4-5 carriers and find this is the best mix within Cario. > > Automation of our supply chain. The local Australian support team have been really helpful. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/267059/cario?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/267059/cario) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
