Plan multi-drop routes, and bring temperature and telematics data into the TMS workflow. ## Do these cold chain challenges sound familiar? ### A single temperature deviation can turn into a rejected load And the evidence you need is buried across fridge systems, emails, and spreadsheets. ### Multi-drop planning is a daily firefight Strict delivery windows, late changes, and complex supermarket or depot rules. ### PODs, CMRs, and fridge downloads arrive late or go missing Slowing down billing and triggering disputes. ### Subcontracting creates blind spots Inconsistent updates, missing documents, and unclear responsibility when something goes wrong. ## Why chilled & frozen fleets switch to Qargo ### Temperature visibility & exception handling See temperature signals and exceptions inside each job, early. Keep requirements, checks, and evidence together for a clean audit trail. fewer incidents ### Multi-drop planning Plan multi-drop routes with time windows and constraints, then replan fast when stops change. fewer empty miles/km ### Digital proof, documents, and compliance trail Capture PODs, CMRs, and fridge downloads in the job record so proof is easy to find and billing moves faster. faster invoicing ### Unified view Manage own fleet and subcontractors in one workflow, with consistent status updates, missing-doc visibility, and clearer ownership. fewer calls ## Working with some of the best across Europe Ninatrans, Moran Logistics, PRT White, Kris De Leeneer, Klarenbeek Transport, DSR Logistics, Road Truck Services ## Refrigerated & frozen transport services before & after Qargo ### Before Qargo Manual entry Scattered data Chasing PODs Slow billing Missed margin ### After Qargo One job record (docs + proof) Exceptions spotted early Faster billing Easier audits Protected margin ## Connect every tool you rely on Seamlessly integrate with your accounting, fleet management, telematics systems, and more - all within one interface. ### Telematics Links vehicle telematics systems for live tracking, driver behaviour, and safety monitoring. - [Motia](https://www.qargo.com/integration/motia/) - [Samsara](https://www.qargo.com/integration/samsara-2/) - [Verizon Connect](https://www.qargo.com/integration/verizon-connect/) - [Webfleet](https://www.qargo.com/integration/webfleet/) - [Transics](https://www.qargo.com/integration/transics-2/) - [Fourkites](https://www.qargo.com/integration/fourkites/) [See all](https://www.qargo.com/platform/transport-management-system-integrations/) ### Accounting & ERP Connects finance and enterprise resource planning tools to automate invoicing, payments, and reporting. - [Sage 50](https://www.qargo.com/integration/sage-50/) - [Exact Online](https://www.qargo.com/integration/exactonline/) - [Easi (Adfinity)](https://www.qargo.com/integration/easi-adfinity/) [See all](https://www.qargo.com/platform/transport-management-system-integrations/) ### Fleet Management Software Centralises fleet tracking, dispatch, and operational insights for improved performance and compliance. - [WACSonline](https://www.qargo.com/integration/wacsonline-2/) - [Transics](https://www.qargo.com/integration/transics-2/) - [Samsara](https://www.qargo.com/integration/samsara-2/) - [Webfleet](https://www.qargo.com/integration/webfleet/) - [Platform Science](https://www.qargo.com/integration/platform-science-2/) - [AddSecure](https://www.qargo.com/integration/addsecure/) [See all](https://www.qargo.com/platform/transport-management-system-integrations/) ### Pallet Networks Integrates major pallet network platforms to streamline domestic and European freight movement. - [Palletline](https://www.qargo.com/integration/palletline/) - [Pallet Track](https://www.qargo.com/integration/pallet-track/) - [PalletForce](https://www.qargo.com/integration/palletforce/) - [The Hazchem Network](https://www.qargo.com/integration/the-hazchem-network/) - [UPN](https://www.qargo.com/integration/upn/) [See all](https://www.qargo.com/platform/transport-management-system-integrations/) ### Visibility & Aggregators Integrates real-time shipment visibility solutions to give end-to-end supply chain insights. - [Shippeo](https://www.qargo.com/integration/shippeo/) - [CO3](https://www.qargo.com/integration/co3/) - [Transporeon](https://www.qargo.com/integration/transporeon/) [See all](https://www.qargo.com/platform/transport-management-system-integrations/) ### Intermodal Bookings Books ferry, rail, and multimodal transport legs directly with intermodal operators. - [StenaLine](https://www.qargo.com/integration/stena-line/) - [Irish Ferries](https://www.qargo.com/integration/irish-ferries/) [See all](https://www.qargo.com/platform/transport-management-system-integrations/) ### Container Services Enables real-time container tracking, bookings, and status updates for efficient port and terminal operations. - [Destin8](https://www.qargo.com/integration/destin8/) - [Portbase](https://www.qargo.com/integration/portbase/) - [PSA](https://www.qargo.com/integration/psa/) [See all](https://www.qargo.com/platform/transport-management-system-integrations/) ### Customs Streamlines customs declarations and compliance processes for faster, error-free international shipments.
