The Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA) has announced that WiseTech Global has joined its DCSA+ partnership program to help accelerate the adoption of open digital standards across global container shipping.
WiseTech, developer of logistics and supply chain platforms including CargoWise and e2open, supports many of the world’s largest logistics providers and freight forwarders. Through its participation in DCSA+, the company aims to support greater interoperability and scalability through standardized integrations and open APIs.
DCSA’s standards are designed to simplify core shipping processes such as bookings, shipment instructions, bills of lading, track and trace, customs documentation, and freight invoicing. The initiative seeks to reduce inefficiencies caused by fragmented systems, manual workflows, and inconsistent data exchange across the supply chain.
WiseTech has been implementing DCSA standards since 2019 and has become one of the largest users of DCSA-based carrier APIs in the industry. According to the company, its operational experience across global carrier-forwarder integrations provides practical insight into how standards can be adopted efficiently at scale.
“Managing and monitoring logistics flows across the globe relies on clean and complete data,” said Ashley Skaanild, Principal Advisor Carrier Integration and Transformation at WiseTech Global. “Standardized integrations help our customers and their carrier partners achieve their goals faster and more effectively by removing friction at critical data handover points.”
Mariana Bock-Losada, Chief Growth Officer at Digital Container Shipping Association, said the partnership would help strengthen the adoption and real-world implementation of digital standards across the shipping ecosystem. With WiseTech joining DCSA+, the association continues expanding collaboration between carriers, technology providers, and logistics companies to support end-to-end digitalization in container shipping.
