Transportation & Storage Intelligence

Operational resilience for the modern supply chain.

From the warehouse floor to the flight line, stop managing by spreadsheet. Start leading with intelligence.

"North Labs is that right combination of 'easy to work with' and 'experts in their field' which is so hard to find."

— CIO, Mid-Market Storage Company

The Mid-Market Operational Gap

The same "black box" traps exist.

Whether you are in maritime, airlines, or warehousing, the mid-market is being squeezed. You are too complex for manual processes, yet the "enterprise" solutions are too rigid and opaque.

Risk

The "tribal knowledge" risk

Vital data on vessel performance, warehouse efficiency, or aviation maintenance lives in the heads of a few veteran managers. If they leave, your institutional memory goes with them.

Silos

Fragmented silos

Your warehouse management system doesn't talk to your transportation and trucking data, and your packaging metrics are a total mystery. Decision-making is reactive, not predictive.

Compliance

The compliance clock

Regulatory waves like FSMA 204 are no longer just "food problems." They are supply chain problems that require 24-hour record production across every node in the chain.

The Solution

Expertise before automation.

Most tools promise a "plug-in" solution. We know that in transportation and storage, there is no magic bypass for the hard work of operational mapping.

Service-Led Partnership

CargoIQ is a service-led partnership.

Before the platform is deployed, our experts perform the "Deep Audit" that others avoid. We sit on top of your existing systems, ingest data from any source, and deliver insights where your people already work.

Asset & Flow Mapping Source Transformation User-Centric Auditing Chain-of-Truth Natural Language Queries
Deep Audit

Asset & flow mapping

We map your specific business flows, whether it's the turnaround time of a vessel or the pick-path efficiency of a warehouse.

Deep Audit

Source transformation

We ingest data from any source, from PDF rate sheets to legacy ERPs to IoT sensors, and normalize it into a single, trusted "Chain-of-Truth."

Deep Audit

User-centric auditing

We identify exactly who needs which data to reduce downtime and improve ROI. Then we build the natural language queries to give it to them.

The Challenge. They were "partially automated," meaning they had a WMS and a basic trucking tracker, but nothing connected. Decision-making was reactive, and "hidden fees" in their maritime and freight spend were eroding 8% of their margin annually.

The CargoIQ intervention ran in three phases.

Phase 1, the mapping. North Labs experts mapped the flow from container arrival in maritime, through the warehouse, to final trucking delivery. Phase 2, the platform. We implemented CargoIQ as the intelligence layer connecting their disparate legacy systems. Phase 3, the impact. Using natural language querying, the executive team could finally ask, "Where is our highest margin leakage in the current packaging cycle?"

The firm no longer relies on "tribal knowledge." They own a data program that makes them faster and more profitable every day.
Own the Chain

CargoIQ's true value.

CargoIQ is about restoration: returning ownership, trust, and self-determination to the people who move and store the world's goods. Every month you wait is another month of operational data that isn't training your intelligence layer, and another cycle's lessons that aren't being captured as company IP.

CargoIQ: intelligence that compounds.
