CargoPilot
vs. Windward

Maritime intelligence built for cargo owners, not compliance departments

Windward's Maritime AI is powerful — but it's designed for compliance officers screening sanctions risk. CargoPilot is designed for the logistics coordinator who needs to know why a container is late and what to do about it.

Where CargoPilot goes further

Windward does tracking. Here's where the intelligence gap opens up.

AI-powered interpretation

Plain-English intelligence, not cryptic codes

Windward's AI focuses on risk scoring and compliance. CargoPilot's AI focuses on operational intelligence — plain-English explanations, delay analysis, and recommended actions.

Demurrage & detention alarms

Stop paying avoidable fees

CargoPilot continuously monitors discharge dates and last free day with proactive alerts. Windward treats demurrage as a secondary feature.

Accessible pricing

Windward is enterprise-only. CargoPilot starts at $79/month and you can be tracking containers in 30 seconds.

Only CargoPilot

AI-powered action system

Don't just see the problem. Solve it in one tap.

When Windward wins

If trade compliance and sanctions screening is your primary need — screening vessels for deceptive practices, restricted party checks — Windward is purpose-built for that. CargoPilot is purpose-built for operational cargo intelligence.

Who typically switches

Shipper or forwarder who evaluated Windward for tracking but realized it's really a compliance tool, not a daily operations tool.
