    A joint webinar by CartonCloud and MachShip

    Today’s most successful supply chains are tech-first, leveraging seamless integrations to build leaner, faster operations. In this joint session, CartonCloud and MachShip will demonstrate how integrated platforms are transforming freight and fulfilment - from order to delivery - enabling businesses to scale without added complexity or headcount.

    Date:  Thursday, 7 August 2025
    Time:  2:00pm - 2.30pm 
    Cost:  No charge 
    RSVP:  At COB on Wednesday, 6 August 2025

    Join us to learn how CartonCloud and MachShip are shaping the future of freight and fulfilment - helping businesses like yours grow smarter, not harder.

    KEY TOPICS 

    1. The Power of Seamless Integrations

    • Discover why integration is now essential - not optional - for 3PLs, retailers, and shippers aiming to stay competitive.
    • See how connecting your WMS (CartonCloud) and freight management (MachShip) eliminates double data entry, reduces errors, and unlocks real-time visibility for your team and your customers.

    2. What to Look for in an Integration Partner

    • Learn the critical qualities of a great integration partner: reliability, flexibility, automation capabilities, and robust support.
    • Understand the importance of open APIs and pre-built connectors to ensure your tech stack can evolve as your business grows.

    3. Using Integrations to Scale and Grow

    • Explore how automation - from order import to carrier selection, label printing, and tracking—enables businesses to handle more volume, onboard new customers faster, and provide better service without increasing admin workload.

    See how integrated systems allow your team to work entirely within their platform of choice, with data flowing automatically between systems for quoting, booking, despatch, and reconciliation.

    FROM CHAOS TO CONTROL: Asset Tracking Strategies That Work

    See how logistics leaders are streamlining operations with intelligent tracking that does more than show where an asset is. From indoor/outdoor visibility to alerts for asset tampering or environmental changes, this webinar reveals how to gain control with a plug-and-play solution.

    Date:  Thursday, 14 August 2025
    Time:  1.00pm - 2.00pm

    ABOUT THIS EVENT 

    Struggling to keep track of critical supply chain assets like containers, cages or stillages? You're not alone. Many logistics and operations teams still rely on outdated, manual tracking methods, leading to inefficiency, delays and asset loss.

    Join us to explore how leading organisations are using asset tracking to not only monitor location, but detect movement, temperature breaches and misuse — with customisable alerts that trigger action before issues escalate. Discover a practical, scalable solution through real-world examples in transport, aviation and logistics.
