We’ve got some thrilling news to share – Cargofive is officially a DCSA+ Partner!
This isn’t just a shiny badge.
It’s a game-changing step forward for our company, our users, and the global freight forwarding ecosystem.
Why This Matters in the Logistics Industry
We believe one of the biggest bottlenecks in global logistics is the lack of data integration and standardization.
It’s where most of the errors, delays, and costs originate.
Freight forwarders and carriers still spend countless hours manually handling and reconciling data across disconnected systems – making the entire process slow, error-prone, and inefficient.
Becoming a DCSA+ Partner marks a crucial step forward in solving this.
By aligning with the Digital Container Shipping Association’s standards, we’re not just adopting global best practices – we’re helping to build the digital infrastructure that modern freight deserves.
This collaboration allows us to accelerate data harmonization, streamline operations, and reduce friction between stakeholders.
In short: less manual work, fewer errors, faster quoting, smarter decisions. This is how we help move the industry forward.
Meet DCSA – The Digital Backbone of Shipping
A Quick Dive into DCSA’s Mission
The Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA) is where the biggest players in ocean freight – like Maersk, MSC, and Hapag-Lloyd—join forces to standardize how the industry talks, trades, and tracks.
Their north star? Digital transformation through open, universal standards.
Why Standards Matter So Much
By creating a shared digital language, DCSA make sure every stakeholder – from carriers to forwarders to tech platforms – can communicate clearly, quickly, and consistently.
What They’re Building
DCSA has rolled out standards for:
- eBL (Electronic Bill of Lading)
- Track & Trace
- Operational Schedules
- Port Call Optimization
Each of these helps streamline the shipping lifecycle—and opens the door to smarter, faster, more sustainable logistics.
