### "Sulzer Water Business review"

September 20, 2022

5.0

Very good platform and customer service is always quick to reply/action

Pros

Ease of adding consignments for competitive tendering without needing to send separate emails to freight forwarders. The platform works well for searching on past entries and generally tidies up the process overall - which would otherwise be done more manually

Cons

Freight forwarders do not update their shipments on the platform (not Cargobase issue).

### "Cargo Base in my routine"

October 18, 2021

5.0

• Reduce the time the approvals. • The user can check the process about request approvals and sometimes the tracking. •I think that CB need to improve other report where the information cross about the invoice for carrier, the QR that the user selected the QR that we not book and the first cost and final cost

Pros

• Is very easy to use is very friendly. • You can use for any device. • You have the support 27/7. • CB sometimes can help to do some modifications in order that your company can has the control

Cons

• I think missing some work instruction on the platform. • The updates for the prices are not reflect in the final amount and this is a very important point. • The app into the cell phone does not work very well I prefer open my search engine and do my activity. the manage cost per user

Reason for choosing Cargobase

### "USER's OPINION FOR CARGOBASE"

November 3, 2021

5.0

Shipments are done much easier. Tracking of shipments are much easier. The software itself is easy to use. Overall, I'm glad I managed to be able to use Cargobase. It saves a lot of manual work.

Pros

All informations about a specific shipment are under a shipment ID (therefore in one place), which is much easier to find, instead of reading 10-20 e-mails. Also, the customer support is untouchable, with full and quickly support.

Cons

I didn't like the parcel shipments segment. There are automatical quotes for a shipment and you cannot contact any person (from parcel) on Cargobase and you'd have to switch to e-mail. Also, if any of the fields are not completed correctly, you don't receive quotes and you don't know which are the incompleted fields that require a specific parcel forwarder to quote.

lately there is no much offers but users don't know current avaiability situations and wait to much to get a quoate.

Pros

Easy to select options, but is very slow.

### "Cargobase"

February 19, 2019

4.0

Overall, I would say cargobase has been a big help in me doing my job. It allows me to clearly see the transit time and the cost of each shipment before selecting the freight forwarder.

Pros

I like how it can be altered to each customers needs. I also like how it is very self explanatory, not a lot of instructions are needed.

Cons

I do not like the multiple screens, I would like to just scroll down one page. I also think it is very slow, no matter what computer and what ISP I am using.

Being the link between Cargobase and our plants worldwide has been an easy task, Cargobase personnel is friendly and always willing to help out with our requests and needs. Even going beyond the services we initially requested.

Pros

Easy to use, friendly, good reporting and easy access to information.

Unfortunately for the Americas replies are not so quick due to the time difference. But we always get one.

### "Logistics comodity business manager"

February 19, 2019

4.0

Working with them for about 1.5 year already. Implementation was simple, training to requestors was beneficial & overall users are satisfied with this solution for finding the best spot buy for their designated shipments

Pros

Easy to use, to operate, for both customer's side & vendors.

Cons

the fact that its more hard to control/ audit the quality of the quotes, meaning that system allows vendors to quote only partially (i.e. PTP) even if the requester asked for full DTD quote & therefore - the award can be based not all real complete figures.

We are glad to hear you like the platform. Our team is working hard to find more smart ways to limit the time spend on data entry, you can already use the shipment duplication feature, address and contact book feature to minimize doing repeated data entry.
