artisanal logistics
CargoLoom turns fragile, high-value, made-to-order inventory into a controlled shipping operation — carrier rates, insured provenance, and packing specs your two-person shop can actually run.
Every crate ships with a signed record of maker, materials, and handling class — the paperwork galleries, wholesalers, and insurers keep asking your studio for.
Score each order by dimensions, breakability, and declared value, then compare live carrier quotes that already price in insurance and freight class.
Codify how a specific piece gets wrapped, braced, and boxed once — then hand any bench assistant a repeatable spec instead of tribal knowledge.
Auto-assemble photos, manifests, and carrier tracking into a claim packet the moment a delivery scan flags an exception. No more lost reimbursements.
Bind production status to shipping estimates so the date a customer sees is the date they get — even when a kiln run slips a week.
Split a single studio batch into retail, wholesale, and consignment lanes with the right labels, terms, and documents on each pallet.
“We used to lose a full afternoon a week reconstructing shipping paperwork for wholesale buyers. CargoLoom generates the manifest the moment a piece leaves the bench. That afternoon is back on the pottery wheel.”
“Damaged-in-transit used to mean eating the cost. Their claim packets got us three reimbursements last quarter that we'd have written off. It paid for the seats twice over.”
“I run a five-person glass studio, not a logistics department. CargoLoom lets my apprentices pack to spec and quote freight without me hovering over every crate.”
Simple plans that scale with you.
For solo makers formalizing how they ship their first wholesale orders.
For growing workshops running retail, wholesale, and consignment at once.
For multi-location makers and cooperatives with dedicated shipping staff.
