What Admins and Operators Can Do
As an Admin or Operator, you have the highest level of control in the bookings workflow. Once a booking is created, you can:
Select the 3 dots in the top right corner to:
Put on Hold, Cancel, Delete, or Create a Copy
Edit the booking request at any point
Use the in-app chat to leave messages or updates for your client
Apply margins to quote options before sharing them with your client
Click Request Approval to ask your client to review and sign off on any edits — or skip this step entirely and confirm the booking on their behalf
⭐ This is the fastest pathway to booking confirmation. You're never waiting on anyone unless you choose to be.
Quoting and Rate Options
Use the Create Option button to input route and rate options for your client. You can add multiple different options and set expiry dates for each one.
Select Create Option and fill out the required fields including origin port, destination port, ETD, ETA, and primary mode
Add in option rates, currency, and expiration date for each quote
Choose to edit or hide the quote once it's created, or create multiple options
Upon adding the correct routes and quotes, send the booking back to your client for approval or confirm it on their behalf without them approving the rates
Allow the client to choose the correct quote and approve the booking
Once both parties are happy, select Confirm Booking to complete the booking process
Once confirmed, the booking will create a shipment file and write back to CW1
Logixboard Bookings and CargoWise One
Bookings will sync back to your CargoWise One as a shipment file once you have confirmed a booking. Any documents uploaded can be found in the eDocs once the booking is confirmed.
