Trade data for ERP and CRM platforms
CargoFax supplies customs trade records that ERP and CRM platforms integrate into their existing products and workflows, so every company record shows real import and export activity. CargoFax customers in Asia already integrate CargoFax trade data into their CRM platforms to deliver more value to their importer and exporter clients. CargoFax Files delivers shipment-level records by FTP, through a web interface, or by API, in CSV, Excel, JSON, or Parquet. Tax IDs in Mexico (RFC), Colombia (NIT), Peru (RUC), and the Dominican Republic (RNC) help match records to accounts.
