How to navigate Cargobase?

Find requests, shipments, invoices, and more.

Cargobase is the central repository of all your live and historical logistics transactions. Finding the needle in the haystack is easy with the Universal Search and the Sidebar features.

Using Universal Search

The Universal Search is located on the top left of the screen, above the Sidebar. The Universal Search looks up any searchable reference numbers and provides direct access to the transactions found as a result of the search.

What is a searchable reference number?

A searchable reference number is a unique identification code that allows one to find a single transaction item. Here are the fields containing a reference number that can be searched via the Universal Search:

  • Quick Request ID
  • Request ID
  • Shipment ID
  • Invoice ID
  • Shipment Title
  • Cost Center
  • Reason Code
  • Custom Field

The last five searches and the last five visits are saved for quick access to repeated searches.
