Pilot programme / 2026 intake

Run it free for 60 days on one live lane.

We are not selling licences yet. We are building CARGOPULSE alongside a small group of South African operators. You give us one real lane and honest feedback; we give you the full platform, the integration work and the founder's phone number. At the end we show you what it saved — and only then do we talk money.

How the pilot runs

Week 0

Scoping call

45 minutes. We pick one lane, one terminal and the five people who feel the pain daily.

Week 1

Connect the feeds

Signed webhooks or a shared file drop from your line, terminal or agent. No system replacement, no IT project.

Week 2–6

Run it live

Your desk works the release board, demurrage clocks and driver slots alongside whatever you use today.

Week 8

Findings review

We hand you the numbers: boxes released faster, demurrage avoided, hours off the phone. Then we talk commercials.

What you get, at no cost

  • /Full platform access for the pilot team — no feature gating
  • /One partner integration built by us (line, terminal, agent or TMS)
  • /Document intelligence on your Bills of Lading, SAD500s and invoices
  • /WhatsApp and email alerting for release and demurrage events
  • /Isolated tenant, POPIA-aligned handling, data deleted on request
  • /Direct line to the founder throughout

What we ask in return

  • /One real lane with real containers — not a sandbox
  • /A weekly 20-minute feedback call with the desk using it
  • /Permission to measure the before-and-after numbers
  • /An honest reference call if the results are good

No card, no licence fee and no lock-in during the pilot. If it does not earn its place on your desk, you walk away and we delete your data on request.

Who we are piloting with

Clearing agentsDesks handling 50+ containers a month across Durban, Cape Town or Ngqura.
TransportersFleets losing turns to unreleased boxes and blind gate slots.
Cargo ownersImporters paying detention they only discover on the invoice.
Terminals & linesPartners who want one clean data channel instead of fifty phone calls.

Data is handled under POPIA with tenant isolation per organisation. Commercial terms are discussed only after the findings review — indicative post-pilot pricing is available if your procurement team needs a number early.

Six pilot slots.
One lane each.
