# Cargoo

> Cargoo is the ocean freight platform for cargo owners: shippers, importers, exporters and commodity traders. It connects freight procurement, planning, execution and control on one shared data model. Cargoo is built and run by Commodity Supplies AG, a Swiss logistics company in ocean freight since 1997.

Cargoo is software for beneficial cargo owners (BCOs) that move containerised freight by sea. Its users are the teams that buy, plan and run ocean freight: logistics, procurement, supply chain and finance.
