How to navigate Cargobase?

Find Quote Requests, Booked Shipments, Invoices to be submitted, and more.

Providers have the ability to utilize Cargobase to monitor Quote Requests from Shippers, view booked shipments, and manage invoices awaiting action. This process is streamlined through the convenient Universal Search and Sidebar features available on the platform.

Using Universal Search

Located at the top left of the screen, above the Sidebar, the Universal Search feature allows users to easily search for any reference numbers and directly access the corresponding transactions.

What is a searchable reference number?

A searchable reference number serves as a distinctive identification code that enables users to locate a specific transaction item. The following fields contain reference numbers that can be searched through the Universal Search:

  • Quick Request ID
  • Quote Request ID
  • Shipment ID
  • Invoice ID
  • Shipment Title
  • Tracking References

The platform saves the last five searches and the last five visits for quick and easy access to repeated searches.
