Where to start

Not sure which service you need? Start from the problem

Start with the step that costs you the most time today, and add the others only when they help. Match your problem to the service that solves it.

  • Cargo must reach a buyer fast: our air freight service books express and consolidated space
  • Cargo is heavy or bulky and goes by ocean: sea freight covers Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL) bookings
  • The factory is far from the port: road transport and rail freight cover the inland stage
  • Goods wait for a booking, a buyer or the last supplier: warehousing holds them until release
  • Stock, storage and dispatch all need running: third-party logistics puts one team in charge
  • Export paperwork with the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) keeps stalling: our documentation support team checks the set before booking
  • Several modes on one shipment: freight forwarding plans and documents the whole movement
  • Documents, samples and small parcels: Cargoking Express, our international courier line, handles them

What we offer

Everything on one account, from first pickup to final delivery

Cargoking runs transport, warehousing and supply chain management for businesses across industries, so one provider answers for domestic and international cargo movement. Where you used to brief three or four companies, you brief one team.

Around the core services sit the support tasks that keep a movement on track: shipment tracking coordination, cargo consolidation, meaning combining small shipments into one load, documentation support and last-mile delivery coordination, which means managing the final stretch to the receiver.

  • Freight and transport planning
  • Warehousing and distribution
  • Inventory management support
  • End-to-end cargo coordination

Why one team

Why most companies need a set of services, not one

Few shipments need only one service. They need storage that releases into an export booking, road movement timed against a port cut-off, meaning the last time the carrier accepts cargo, and documents that are right the first time. And someone to call when it slips.

That is what the Cargoking Shipping & Logistics service brings together: air, sea, road, rail, warehousing, third-party logistics, customs documents and DGFT paperwork checked by our team, and for small consignments the Cargoking Express courier line, with one coordinator per account.

The benefit is not a bundle discount. It is that nobody can tell you the delay was the other provider’s fault.

  • Freight on air, sea, road and rail
  • Warehousing and third-party logistics
  • Customs documents and DGFT paperwork, checked by our team
  • International express courier for small shipments

How it runs

How one coordinator runs several services at once

01

One point of accountability

Whatever mix of services an account uses, one coordinator owns the file and one operations team answers for it.

02

Movement planned as a whole

Storage, inland transport, main carriage and documentation are planned together, because that is where time is saved.

03

Compliance built in

Customs, DGFT and product-specific requirements run in parallel with the freight, not after it. Our team prepares and checks the documents, with customs clearance through licensed customs clearance specialists.

04

Reporting that is useful

Shipment status, stock position and spend are reported on a cycle agreed with you.

Industries served

Six kinds of business that use more than one service

Manufacturing

Components and finished goods moved from factory to port, with storage in between.

Retail

Stock held in one place and released in batches to match orders.

E-commerce

Parcels by courier and bulk stock by freight, with storage behind both.

Healthcare

Medicines and medical goods, handled to the conditions the product needs.

Industrial supply chains

Repeat, heavy cargo that needs planned transport, storage and distribution.

Import-export trade

Traders and exporters running documents, storage and shipping through one account.

What you get

What you get across all of them

  • A strong transport network and supply chain management practice
  • Reliable, consistent transport, storage and distribution
  • Transport, storage and distribution managed through a single integrated provider
  • Better routes and delivery timelines, because the whole movement is planned
  • An experienced team on your account

Handover points

Where delays hide: the gaps between services

Delays rarely sit inside one service. They sit at the handover between two. Four handovers cause most of the trouble on a multi-service shipment.

Plan my handovers

Storage to truck

Goods released late, or loaded in the wrong order for unloading at the port.

Truck to terminal

Arrival after the cut-off.

Documents to carrier

An invoice, packing list and booking that do not match.

Carrier to receiver

The last stage not booked, or nobody ready to take the cargo.

With one coordinator, these four sit on one plan instead of four separate ones.

Common questions

Straight answers on running several services together

You can start with a single service. Most accounts begin with one shipment, one storage need or one paperwork problem, and add more when useful. Nothing is a bundle you must take whole. Every service is quoted on its own lines, so you see what each part costs.

The same coordinator handles it, so the problem does not sit in a gap while providers decide whose it is. We look at the next available sailing or flight and tell you the options, so you can decide with the facts in front of you. You deal with one coordinator, not with each provider in turn.

Yes, through Cargoking Express, our international courier line for documents, samples and small parcels. It runs pickup to delivery, so you do not need a separate courier company for the small items. Heavier freight goes through the main services on the same account, with the same coordinator.

Work back from the date the goods must be on the shelf, then plan storage release, road movement and carriage as one schedule. Each step gets a date, so a late supplier shows up early rather than at the port. Share the delivery date with us first and we build the plan backwards from it.

Send single orders and samples by courier, and move bulk stock by freight to your buyer or a storage point. Courier suits a few parcels. Freight becomes more affordable per unit as volume grows. We compare both against your order pattern and your buyers’ delivery needs.

Where the cargo needs temperature control, we plan storage, transport and carriage around the conditions your product needs. The requirements come from your product and its paperwork, and we plan to those rather than to a standard setting. Tell us the range your product needs before we quote. See our temperature-controlled logistics service.

Pack size decides the vehicle, the storage space and the freight charge, so packing and unpacking should be planned with the booking. Oversized or loosely packed cartons waste space on every service, from the shelf to the container. Tell us how the goods will be packed, with carton sizes if you have them, before we quote.

Yes, but dangerous goods need extra checks at every step, because storage sites and carriers accept them only with correct declarations and labels. Tell us the product and its hazard class early, because that decides which carriers and storage sites can take it. Our hazardous cargo handling service covers these.

Yes, one coordinator can hold the stock, the document checks and the shipping plan for each buyer’s order. Reporting is agreed with you at the start, so goods and costs for different buyers do not blur together. Tell us how many buyers you serve and how often you want updates.

Choose one provider when delays between steps cost you more than the rate difference, and keep a specialist when one step is unusual. A single provider also gives you one contact and one set of reports. If you are unsure, our logistics consultancy team can review your current set-up.
