Logistics technology


OWL Vision 2.0

Logistics technology that shows every shipment, down to the PO, product and SKU.

Powered by Gnosis

Our logistics platform, rebuilt with Gnosis and run by OWL. It tracks every shipment in real time, flags problems before they cost you, and turns that data into decisions you can act on.

Why it matters

What you're really looking for.

Ship goods around the world and you're chasing the same handful of things: knowing where everything is, no nasty surprises, and not paying for problems you couldn't see coming. OWL Vision is built around exactly that.

  • [01] SKU-level tracking

    Where everything is — right now

    Not "somewhere on the ocean." Real-time visibility down to the container, PO and SKU — one live picture of your whole supply chain.

  • [02] Exception alerts

    No nasty surprises

    Early-warning alerts on potential disruptions, so you act ahead of the issue, not after it.

  • [03] Last-free-day alerts

    Stop bleeding margin on charges

    Demurrage and detention quietly erode margin. Automated last-free-day alerts and progress monitoring help you plan around them.

  • [04] Orders & comms

    One source of truth

    Orders, bookings, documents and conversations in one place — for you, your vendors and ours. No more chasing updates across inboxes.

  • [05] Dashboards

    Data you can actually trust

    Clean, real-time data and customizable dashboards — so the numbers you plan on are ones you can rely on.

  • [06] Automation

    Less time chasing updates

    Batch processing, automated document uploads and real-time notifications. Your team works the exceptions, not the inbox.

Order Management

Every order, moved forward in a few clicks.

A redesigned workspace for orders and purchase orders, built with Gnosis on top of their industry-leading order-management platform.

Find any order, see its status and move it forward in one clean view — centralized tracking, batch processing and a seamless flow from order to booking.

Vendor Booking

Bookings that land clean, first time.

Vendors book directly against your orders through a simple, guided flow, so every booking connects to the right PO from the very first step.

Customizable options, automated document uploads and a confirm-and-review step before anything is submitted. What used to be cumbersome is now a few clicks.

Reporting

Reporting that runs on live data.

Power BI reporting is built into OWL Vision, so the same live data behind your orders and bookings feeds your reports.

Track how vendors perform against what you agreed: orders booked inside the ship window, exceptions, container utilization and on-time ISF filing, all in one view.

How we build

We don’t play every instrument.
We make sure they play together.

There are three ways a forwarder can give you technology: build it all themselves, hand you someone else’s platform, or choose the best tool for every job and take responsibility for making them work as one. We chose the third.

Path one

Build everything in‑house

  • Years spent rebuilding what the leaders already do well
  • Stretched thin across every layer
  • You wait for features the market already has

Path two

Resell one vendor’s platform

  • You fit the software, not the other way round
  • One vendor’s strengths, and all of its gaps
  • Nobody owns how the whole thing comes together

The OWL way

The best of each, run as one

  • Gnosis for orders, Chain.io for data integrity, CargoWise underneath
  • Brought together in one platform: OWL Vision
  • Run every day by people who move freight
  • One accountable partner for the whole result

The result: enterprise-grade capability, shaped around your supply chain and delivered as one service.

The stack behind OWL Vision

OWL Vision is the hero. It stands on the best.

  1. [01]

    Gnosis

    Order management, customer-facing

    The order-management platform powering OWL Vision 2.0's new front end. When you manage orders or book vendors in OWL Vision, you're working on top of the industry leader — fast, proven and built for scale.

    • Order management
    • Vendor booking
    • Industry-leading platform
  2. [02]

    Chain.io

    Data & process integrity

    Each customer's SOPs are read and overlaid onto the operating system. The moment an order or shipment doesn't match the agreed SOP, the operator is prompted to resolve it before moving forward. Process integrity on every shipment, by design.

    • Live SOP checks
    • Resolve before you proceed
  3. [03]

    CargoWise

    The engine room

    Under the hood, OWL runs on CargoWise, the freight software used by 24 of the top 25 global forwarders and 46 of the top 50 3PLs — a stable, capable operating system doing the heavy lifting, so everything above it stays fast and reliable.

    • 24 of the top 25 forwarders
    • 46 of the top 50 3PLs

The difference

Most tools show you a dot on a map.

OWL Vision is run by a 3PL that actually moves freight — so it does the things shippers really need, not just the things that demo well.
