Falcon Nest.
One nest for every integration.
Falcon Nest is AlterraLink’s integration platform. It’s the hub that connects your CargoWise One with the systems you and your clients use, including Shopify, Xero, and order and shipment feeds, through a set of integrations you license and switch on individually, so data moves automatically instead of being re-keyed by hand.
The hub between CargoWise and everything else.
CargoWise One runs your logistics. But the work also lives in your clients’ Shopify stores, in your own Xero books, and in the order and shipment feeds you exchange with the clients you move freight for. Falcon Nest is the hub that sits in the middle. Add an integration for each system you want connected, and Falcon Nest keeps that link in step automatically, accurately and under watch.
Built on CargoWise eAdaptor
Connects through CargoWise One’s native eAdaptor gateway, so messages flow the way CargoWise expects, with full logging and API access control.
Real-time, two-way sync
Orders, inventory, shipments and financial data move between your systems automatically, replacing manual re-keying and spreadsheets.
Mapping & validation
Location-to-warehouse mappings, entity codes and reference data are validated before anything is sent, so bad data never reaches CargoWise.
Monitoring & retry
A live health view surfaces errors across every connected system, and failed transactions can be retried or resolved without losing a record.
Integrations on offer.
Falcon Nest isn’t one all-in-one product. It’s a hub. Each integration below is a separate service, licensed and activated on its own. The eAdaptor gateway is the foundation every other integration runs through, so it comes first; from there you add only the integrations you need, when you need them.
eAdaptor
The native CargoWise One eAdaptor gateway, ready for eAdaptor Next. Manage configurations, organisations and access, with a full log of every message in and out of CargoWise.
ShopifySync
Bring your clients’ Shopify stores into CargoWise. Keep their inventory accurate, sync orders and inventory transfers, run purchase orders and suppliers, and map each store location to the right warehouse. You manage your side in Falcon Nest, while each client manages theirs from an app inside their own Shopify admin.
XeroSync
Keep CargoWise and Xero in step both ways. Post invoices, line items and documents into Xero, capture payments back from Xero, and reconcile the two so the books always match operations.
OrderSync
Take orders from your clients into CargoWise, then send status updates back to them as the work progresses. Orders arrive by secured API or SFTP, and every client is managed in one place.
ShipmentSync
Push shipments, status events and documents from your CargoWise out to your clients’ transport management systems, with a pluggable adapter for each TMS they run.
CurrencyHub
Keep CargoWise exchange rates current automatically. CurrencyHub fetches daily rates and posts them straight into CargoWise. It’s a free, optional add-on for Falcon Nest.
MailSync
Turn the documents that land in your inbox into CargoWise attachments. MailSync reads each one, works out which shipment or consol it belongs to, and files it as an eDoc, with no manual matching or uploading.
Missing an integration?
Falcon Nest is built on an adaptor model, so it isn’t limited to the integrations listed here. If the system you need to connect to CargoWise isn’t in the suite yet, tell us about it and we’ll work with you to build it.
Pay for what you connect.
Falcon Nest is a hub, not a single all-in-one licence. The eAdaptor gateway is the shared foundation, and every other integration is its own service, licensed and switched on separately, so your costs track exactly what you’ve connected.
Start with eAdaptor
The eAdaptor gateway is the required foundation. It’s licensed and activated first, because every other integration speaks to CargoWise through it, and it’s ready for CargoWise’s new eAdaptor Next.
Add only what you need
ShopifySync, XeroSync, OrderSync and ShipmentSync are each a separate service. Activate one or several, then add more later as your operation grows.
Priced per integration
Each integration is paid for on its own, so you’re never charged for connections you don’t run. Talk to us and we’ll quote the exact set you need.
Live in four steps.
From first connection to a fully monitored integration, here’s how Falcon Nest comes together.
Connect
We stand up your CargoWise eAdaptor connection and link the systems you already run: Shopify, Xero, order and shipment feeds.
Map
Locations are mapped to warehouses, entity codes and reference data are aligned, and rules are set so each system speaks the same language.
Sync
Data flows automatically in real time. Inventory, orders, shipments and finances stay in step without anyone re-keying a thing.
Monitor
A live health view tracks every store and feed. Errors are surfaced early and failed transactions are retried or resolved, with a full audit trail.
A full CargoWise practice.
Falcon Nest is the platform, and AlterraLink is the team behind it. Our in-house CargoWise specialists cover the whole journey: scoping and consultation, workflow optimisation, go-live, integration and ongoing care. From first conversation to long-term support, we put CargoWise to work for your operation.
Integration consultation & scoping
We map your systems, data flows and edge cases, then design the right integration before a line of config is written.
Implementation & onboarding
We set up your eAdaptor connection and configure each sync module (ShopifySync, XeroSync, OrderSync, ShipmentSync) for your operation.
Workflow optimisation
We reshape CargoWise workflows around how you actually operate: automating manual steps, redesigning processes and tracking the numbers that matter, so productivity goes up and cost comes down.
Go-live methodology
Moving onto CargoWise, or off a legacy system, follows a proven path: system migration, data conversion, user acceptance testing and parallel-run support, so the switch happens with minimal disruption.
Custom adaptor development
Need to connect a system beyond the standard set? Our team builds bespoke adaptors on the same platform your other integrations run on.
Data mapping & migration
We build and validate your location-to-warehouse mappings, entity codes and reference data so syncing starts clean and stays clean.
Managed service & monitoring
Hand off the day-to-day. We monitor sync health across every connected system, handle retries and keep your integrations running.
Training & support
We onboard your team on Falcon Nest and back you with AlterraLink’s I.T support, so you’re never left guessing.
Engage us your way.
Work with us by the hour, as a fixed go-live, or by workflow template. Whatever the shape, we scope it to your operation and quote it up front, so you always know what you’re getting.
