Cargo

Today, Cargo is the leading system for handling adverts in Sweden. There are over 500 titles (newspapers and magazines) getting their advertising files using Cargo every day and we have some of the biggest print houses as our customers.
There are several reasons for this but one of the main reasons is that the efficiency of the Cargo system creates a really fast Return on Investment. Cargo is modular and flexible which is proven by having both small customers with relatively small number of adverts to the biggest in Scandinavia, both gaining from using Cargo.

We have been able to create a more effective handling of adverts at all our customers. Sometimes there are really big numbers, sometimes a bit smaller, but all has our customers have gained efficiency. For most of our customers, the ROI is months and the cost saving is valid year after year.

All in one

Cargo handles all adverts, print and digital. This means you can have ONE SYSTEM for all handling of advertising files. This is important because that means you can have one organization handling all the advertising files which is a huge saving compared to having two organizations with two different systems.

Flexibility

Your world is changing, Cargo can adapt to your changes. You can configure all the features of the system yourself, nothing is hard coded, nothing is hidden. This gives you the option to tailor make Cargo for your special needs. Integrate with your systems, integrate with your applications. That is flexibility to us.

Efficiency

When the sales person has entered the order, Cargo and the advertiser will do most of the work. The tight integration with the business system makes an automatic workflow possible even though most customers prefer some manual checks on the way.

Get the full picture

Getting the full picture is invaluable. Cargo Dispatch, the client software, is configurable so you may choose what you like to see and what you need to be able to do. That includes information from the business system, preflight information, information about the sender etc. The Actions are 100% configurable so you can setup exactly what you need to do and it is only one mouse click or a keyboard shortcut away.

Work wherever you are

Cargo is based on web technology. This means you can log in to Cargo wherever you are.

All in one place

All assets are in one place, collected at your convenience. You will find history on all transfers and all usage of your assets, you´ll never lose track of anything.

Preflight

Cargo comes with ready-made integrations with Pitstop Server, pdf Toolbox and OneVision Asura for print adverts.
Having the advertiser, when uploading, performing the preflight themselves makes them aware of errors that might be in the advert. Given time, this raises the quality of the adverts and you will get less errors in your adverts.

Integrated with…

Cargo can be integrated with more or less any kind of business system. Today we are running integrations with Lineup (Adpoint), Naviga (Adbase), Atex (CrossAdvertising), Atex (Atex Enterprise), Anygraaf (AProfit), Oracle (NetSuite), PositionEtt (P1 Annons), SAP and more.

Repetitions

There are several options to handle repetetive adverts in an efficient way.

Production

The module for print production is integrated with all the other features. Orders, sizes, deadlines, manuscripts, proofing – everything is direct accessible from within InDesign.

Proofing

Proofing is one click away for the producer.
Annotate and approve, comment and communicate. The advertiser is online in a web browser, the producer is in InDesign, still there's instant communication between them.

Integrate the sales department

Saleswatch is a module to give the sales people the information they can benefit from when it comes to sales. Using Saleswatch you can:

See the status of any booked order and where the file currently is in the workflow
Forget about all the questions from the sales dept asking ”is this done”, they see it themselves
Access the advertising archive from Saleswatch.
Pickup adverts from the archive, e-mail it to the advertiser to make sure you are using the right advert when an advertiser wants to repeat an already published advert.
Use the advert archive when meeting up with customers to discuss formats etc.
Since it is the sales dept that get the customer calls, this type of information will help serving the customers in a better way.
