Implementation

Go Live in Weeks, Not Years

CargoNova is designed for fast, low-risk onboarding. Most forwarders get their first office live in weeks using standard migration templates and phased rollout.

Whether you are replacing spreadsheets, a regional TMS or CargoWise, our team provides templates, integration patterns and training so you can modernize without business disruption.

The Implementation Journey

01

Tenant setup

Configure your environment, user roles, branches and security policies. Core workflows are mapped to your existing process language.

02

Data migration

Extract and load customers, vendors, trade lanes, tariffs and open shipments. We provide templates to reduce manual mapping.

03

Workflow alignment

Connect AI agents for quoting, booking, documentation and settlement. Integrate with your FMS, TMS or ERP where needed.

04

Training & go-live

Train operators and supervisors on the new cockpit, then go live with a pilot office or trade lane before broader rollout.

Migrating from CargoWise or Legacy Systems

Audit current data

Identify master data, open shipments and key workflows to migrate first.

Pilot lane or office

Run CargoNova alongside the legacy system to validate flows and train the team.

Phased expansion

Add branches, trade lanes and AI agents once the pilot is stable.

Decommission legacy

Retire old screens and spreadsheets when teams are confident and data is clean.

Typical Timeline

Week 1–2

Discovery, tenant setup and data template preparation

Week 3–4

Data load, workflow configuration and integration wiring

Week 5–6

User training, pilot go-live and exception handling

Week 7+

Rollout to additional offices, lanes and agents

Why Phased Rollout Works

Low

Business risk

Keep legacy systems live during transition so operations continue uninterrupted.

Fast

Time to value

Pilot offices often see productivity gains within the first month.

High

Team adoption

Training happens in real workflows, making change management easier.

Implementation Questions

How long does implementation take?

Most SME forwarders go live in a few weeks. Larger migrations from systems like CargoWise may take a few months depending on data complexity and scope.

Will our operations stop during migration?

No. We use a phased approach where the legacy system stays live until CargoNova is proven stable for your team.

What data can be migrated?

Customers, vendors, trade lanes, tariffs, contracts, open shipments and historical invoices can typically be migrated using our templates.
