In a world where logistics operations are growing more complex and feature-rich, even the most experienced CargoWise users can feel overwhelmed. With thousands of functionalities, modules and ever-evolving workflows, finding the right solution at the right time often means stepping out of your current task to consult help guides or worse, raising support tickets. But what if you could get expert-level help without leaving your workflow? Enter Ace, CargoWise’s new AI-powered assistant, now built directly into the platform. It’s designed to provide instant, contextual help at every step benefiting users from brokers to warehouse managers and freeing up time for high-value work.

Why CargoWise Needed Ace

• Vast Complexity: CargoWise is powerful, but that power comes with thousands of features and constant updates. It’s easy even for seasoned users to forget processes, search for guidance, or rely on support.
• Knowledge Gaps: Frequently, the information needed is present in WiseTech Academy (how-to guides, videos, update notes), but retrieving it means interrupting the work flow.
• Support Overload: Every support request takes time, slows operations, and signals that users don’t have instant access to the right learning material.CargoWise’s AI team realized that traditional chatbots weren’t enough. They needed a smarter assistant one that understood context, could handle real questions (not just scripted ones) and was deeply integrated.

What Ace Actually Is: Intelligent by Design

Ace is not just another chatbot. It’s a context-aware AI assistant built into CargoWise, designed to answer anything from simple tasks to complex workflows. Here’s how it works and what sets it apart:

• Deep Knowledge Base: Ace taps into tens of thousands of learning resources from WiseTech Academy including guides, FAQs, product videos and update notes.
• Contextual Understanding: Rather than relying on pre-written responses, Ace uses multi-turn conversation capability to understand what the user is asking, even if the question is phrased vaguely.
• Tailored Responses: Depending on the user’s role (customs broker, warehouse manager, operations lead, etc.), Ace delivers explainers, step by step instructions, or relevant resource links.
• Embedded Support: Since Ace lives inside CargoWise, users don’t need a separate app or setup. There is no extra learning curve it feels like a native feature.
• Learning & Resolution: It doesn’t just tell you how to fix something; Ace helps you understand why it happened, which builds long-term skills and reduces repeated errors.

Real-World Impact: Productivity, Confidence & Efficiency

The early feedback is already promising.

• Fewer Interruptions: By resolving questions in the flow, users don’t have to leave their task or pause their work to consult external documentation.
• Reduced Support Load: Less dependence on external support means the support team is freed up to focus on bigger issues.
• Smarter Teams: Managers get more self-sufficient, capable teams. When Ace handles basic queries, leaders can focus training where it’s truly needed.
• Early Problem Solving: Ace helps detect recurring user problems. Over time, common questions can guide training initiatives.
