Cargo Cube offers forms for our customers to provide either BL instructions or VGM data. These forms are easy to fill and give our customers the opportunity to send data directly to Cargo Cube systems in order to minimize error potentials and reduce e-mail traffic.

1. Go to container overview page.
2. Identify one or more containers and activate the corresponding checkboxes in the first column.
3. Click „Apply to selected“ > Container Call Off on the top left of the table. In the next step , the Container Call Off form opens.

4. If you have selected several containers, define their priority by using the corresponding checkbox.
5. Enter the requested time of delivery and delivery information; select transport mode.
6. Provide delivery address.
7. Click Button „Finish Call Off“.

In the next step, Cargo Cube transfers the call-off to our operations. The call off status is visible in the „Call Off Status“ column.
