    Streamlined logistics processes from order to settlement

    Centralized visibility and control across all execution steps

    Integrated collaboration with all supply chain stakeholders

    What is Supply Chain Execution?

    Supply Chain Execution (SCE) is the operational backbone of your logistics. It encompasses everything required to move goods from origin to destination: selecting and managing the right transport mode, clearing customs, executing freight across all modalities, and closing the financial loop with accurate settlement.

    At Caroz, Supply Chain Execution is delivered through THE Control Tower, a managed 4PL service where our dedicated specialists coordinate every step on your behalf. Working alongside them is Carai, Caroz's AI platform, which continuously monitors execution data, detects deviations, and surfaces the right actions at the right moment. Human expertise and AI work in concert, so nothing falls through the cracks, and your team always has control at the speed of thought.

    Key Capabilities

    Transport Modes - Air, Ocean, Road & Rail

    Every shipment begins with the right mode. Caroz manages the full multimodal mix: Ocean Freight, Air Freight, Road Transport, and Rail Freight from a single control environment. Global trade lanes, particularly Asia - Europe, are volatile by nature: freight rates shift with market conditions, vessel capacity fluctuates, and blank sailings can disrupt even the most carefully planned supply chains. Managing these dynamics requires more than a booking system, it requires experienced specialists backed by real-time data and the analytical power to act before disruption reaches your operations.

     

    Ocean Freight (FCL & LCL)

    • Ocean Freight (FCL & LCL): smart consolidation, capacity management, and real-time vessel tracking — including proactive management of rate volatility and blank sailing risk on key trade lanes.

    • Air Freight: urgent and high-value shipments handled with priority booking and full customs documentation.

    • Road Freight: Optimized transport orchestration, FTL, LTL and groupage, with direct carrier coordination, real-time visibility and exception management to optimally balance the tradeoffs between service, speed, costs and inventory levels.

    • Rail Freight: cost-effective Eurasian and intra European connections as a lower-emission alternative to air on select lanes.

    • Incoterms management: full support for EXW, FCA, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT, DAP, DDP — costs and risks automatically assigned to the correct party across all modes.

    • Mode optimization: Carai analyses cost, transit time, and availability across modes in real time, supporting smarter switching decisions when market conditions change.

    Challenges Caroz Resolves

    Disconnected Systems and Manual Handoffs
    Without a unified execution layer, logistics functions operate in silos. Transport, customs, and finance each maintain separate records, creating gaps in visibility and coordination. Caroz replaces this fragmentation with a single orchestration layer where data flows automatically between functions, monitored continuously by both our Control Tower teams and Carai.

     

    Reactive Problem-Solving
    Manual workflows and batch-based systems mean issues are discovered after they have already caused delays. Caroz's real-time monitoring, augmented by Carai's agentic AI capabilities, allows teams to act before disruptions escalate, with the system flagging and prioritizing exceptions as they emerge.

    Cost Overruns from Poor Rate and Invoice Control
    Without centralized rate management and automated invoice validation, logistics costs routinely exceed budget due to billing errors, unauthorized charges, and suboptimal carrier selection. Caroz eliminates these leakages through automated controls and transparent cost allocation.

     

    Customs Compliance Risk

    Regulations differ by country and change frequently. Manual customs management exposes businesses to delays, fines, and reputational risk. Caroz's automated compliance layer keeps you current and audit-ready at all times.
