You got to love customers who appreciate the work you do. This customer left us a google review AND called me last week to tell me how much he appreciated the great care we put into packing his classic guitar amp. He told me this piece was “Rare” only 4 ever made and valuable. He even said he was restless, 😬 nervous, lost sleep while this was in transit. lol But once he received it and unpacked it, then plugged it in to find out it even works! He was so ecstatic. He had to let me know and wanted to tell the world! In this industry the phone rings most often because there is a problem and it needs to be fixed. It is the rare calls like this that make our days in the logistics world a little better. Hope your day is filled with phone calls from people appreciating you and the work you do! Have a great day! 😊 #PapaFreight #3pl #lsp #logistics #crating #packing #shipping #freight

I’m curious how many freight forwarders here operate on proprietary software versus using off-the-shelf solutions like CargoWise. Has anyone done a deep comparison between the two approaches — especially around scalability, integration, and user adoption? I’d love to hear what factored most into your decision. I’ve worked with forwarders that developed their own ERP systems and others that implemented CargoWise. While I haven’t personally led a CargoWise migration, I’ve spoken with colleagues who’ve been through it — and their experiences have been quite varied. Thought this might be a good topic for discussion — what’s been your experience or perspective?
