Unified visibility. Automated billing. Connected operations. Here is what SFL Tech delivers for freight forwarders ready to bring their warehouse into the same digital architecture as the rest of their business.
The Opportunity
Most freight forwarders run their forwarding, customs, and finance operations on a connected platform. The warehouse often sits outside that architecture, running on parallel processes, separate data, and manual workflows that create delays, errors, and blind spots for every team that touches inventory.
Bringing the warehouse into CargoWise or Microlistics closes that gap. Inventory data flows in real time across operations, finance, and client-facing systems. Storage billing automates. Receive and dispatch workflows become system-driven. And the freight forwarder gains a warehouse capability that is not just operationally stronger but commercially differentiated.
SFL Tech holds Platinum Warehouse accreditation with WiseTech Global, is an official Microlistics partner, and has delivered 28+ warehouse module implementations globally.
What We Deliver
Unified Inventory Dashboard
One screen. Operations, warehouse, and finance teams see the same real-time stock position. No back-and-forth calls. No reconciliation between separate reports. Every department works from a single source of truth.
Client Visibility and E-Documentation
Your clients see their inventory in real time, including goods received notes, transporter details, photographic proof of goods, and dock pack documentation. 24/7 track and trace of stock, including post-dispatch visibility.
Automated Receive Job Processing
SFL's customised templates allow warehouse teams to create 50 receive jobs in 15 minutes. Tasks that previously consumed four hours are completed in four minutes. Templates are configured to match each client's specific attributes and requirements.
RF Scanner Deployment
End-to-end scanner implementation: vendor selection, procurement, installation, configuration, and team training. Every goods movement is scanned, logged, and visible in the system immediately.
Automated Storage Billing
Storage charges, periodic billing, and cost calculations are automated based on configured rate cards. Transit warehouse and 3PL billing operate from the same logic. Month-end invoicing generates from the system, accurate and audit-ready, without manual reconciliation.
Vendor and Client Integration
Direct system-to-system data exchange with vendors and clients. Eliminates paper-based communication, reduces manual entry, and creates connected data flows that accelerate receiving, dispatch, and invoicing.
BPO for Warehouse Data Entry
SFL's data entry professionals can eliminate the creation of warehouse receive jobs entirely. Warehouse managers focus on operations and dispatch rather than spending hours finalising goods in the system one by one.
Onsite and Offsite Warehouse Audits
Physical inventory verification against system records. Identifies discrepancies, validates data integrity, and gives operators confidence that what the system shows matches what is on the floor.

Why SFL Tech
SFL Tech is one of the few CargoWise partners that combines Platinum Warehouse accreditation with deep operational understanding of how freight forwarders actually run their warehouse business. Our team includes specialists who have implemented warehouse modules across transit warehouses, bonded facilities, 3PL operations, and e-commerce fulfilment environments.
Every engagement starts with a gap analysis conducted with your operational users and warehouse leadership. We map your current processes, identify the gaps, and design a target operating model that reflects how your warehouse should function on a connected platform. Implementation follows a structured plan built jointly with your team: process flows, SOPs, configuration, testing, training, and go-live support.
We do not hand over a configured system and walk away. We stay until the warehouse runs the way it was designed to.
