Documents in. CargoWise updated.
StarShipper reads your shipping documents, validates every field, and pushes structured data into CargoWise through the eAdapter. Port codes normalized, container numbers verified, transport modes mapped to CargoWise conventions. If a push fails, it retries automatically. Your team reviews exceptions, not every document.
The bottleneck is data entry, not CargoWise
CargoWise is powerful once the data is in it. The problem is getting it there. Every B/L, invoice, and packing list arrives as a PDF or email attachment. Someone has to open it, read the fields, and type them into the right CargoWise screens. Port codes, container numbers, HS codes, weights, party details. For a team handling 30 shipments a day, that's the entire morning gone.
StarShipper reads those documents and pushes structured data directly into CargoWise through the eAdapter. Port names are converted to UN/LOCODE, transport modes mapped to CargoWise's three-letter codes. Container numbers are validated against ISO 6346 including the check digit. HS codes are suggested automatically using Australian customs data. Field names are mapped from whatever the carrier uses to what CargoWise expects. The data arrives clean, in the right format, ready to work with.
Your team still reviews what matters. They just stop retyping what a machine can read.

CargoWise Updated
Structured XML pushed via eAdapter with automatic retry
Built for CargoWise
Not a generic webhook that dumps JSON somewhere. This is a native CargoWise integration that understands Universal XML schema, eAdapter field conventions, and the normalization CargoWise expects.
Intelligent field mapping
Handles the field name chaos across carriers and forwarders. B/L number, Bill of Lading No., House B/L, HBL — they all map to the right CargoWise field without manual configuration.
Port and transport normalization
Port names become UN/LOCODE (Sydney → AUSYD). Transport modes map to CargoWise three-letter codes (Road → ROA, Rail → RAI). Country names become ISO codes. No manual cleanup.
Container number validation
Every container number is validated against the ISO 6346 standard, including check digit verification. Typos caught before they reach CargoWise.
Zero-touch processing
Documents that pass extraction confidence and reconciliation checks are approved and pushed to CargoWise automatically. Your team only sees the exceptions.
Automatic retry
Transient failures — timeouts, 502s, rate limits — are retried automatically with exponential backoff. Stale connections are reset between attempts. No manual re-sends.
HS code classification
Tariff codes are suggested during extraction using Australian customs data. Chapter notes and classification rules applied automatically, ready for compliance review.
