Profit Tools Pricing Guide
Profit Tools Pricing: What CargoWise Landside Costs in 2026
Profit Tools — the drayage TMS now sold as part of WiseTech's CargoWise Landside portfolio — does not publish numeric pricing. As of August 17, 2026, we directly checked Profit Tools' own product page, the broader CargoWise Landside drayage-TMS page, and its Capterra listing; every one routes pricing questions to a sales demo, and Capterra shows the field as “Contact vendor for pricing” with no free trial. The currently-supported baseline is that official Profit Tools pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, full stop. Because Profit Tools is one module inside a larger enterprise suite, the real question isn't just “what does it cost” — it's what's bundled, what's add-on, and what relationship you're actually buying into. This guide covers both.

Primary Sources
What Profit Tools Actually Discloses
We checked four sources directly on August 17, 2026. None of them list a dollar figure:
- cargowise.com/landside … profit-tools-tms — Profit Tools' own product page. Describes order management, dispatch, billing & settlements (auto-rating, accessorial charges, settlements reporting), chassis/per diem audit tools, container track & trace, and a driver mobile app. The only call to action is “Request a Demo.” No pricing anywhere on the page.
- cargowise.com/landside … drayage-tms — CargoWise Landside's broader drayage TMS page. It lists Profit Tools as one of three named TMS products in this category (Profit Tools, Compcare, and GTG TMS) without explaining how they differ, which one fits which carrier, or how — or whether — they're priced separately.
- capterra.com/p/10017141/Profit-Tools — lists “Contact vendor for pricing” as the starting price, with no free trial or free version. The listing shows three total user reviews (spanning 2016 to 2020) and a Value for Money score of 3.0 out of 5, based on a single rating.
- wisetechglobal.com … acquires-envase-technologies — WiseTech's own January 24, 2023 announcement of its acquisition of Envase Technologies (Profit Tools' parent company at the time) for approximately $230 million (about 70% cash, 30% WiseTech shares). This tells you who owns Profit Tools and its scale within WiseTech — it is not a Profit Tools price.
Everything past this point is either clearly attributed third-party commentary, or factors to verify directly with Profit Tools/WiseTech sales — not a number we're asserting on their behalf.
Third-Party Commentary
What Third-Party Sources Say
Beyond the “contact vendor” listing above, Capterra's three dated reviews include two brief comments that touch cost, quoted directly and dated: a March 19, 2016 five-star review calling Profit Tools “very affordable for what I was getting,” and a December 4, 2020 three-star review noting “pricing… but you get what you pay for.” Neither attaches a number, and both predate WiseTech's 2023 acquisition of Profit Tools' parent company — treat them as dated, pre-acquisition sentiment, not current pricing signal.
We also found dated third-party reporting on WiseTech's broader pricing direction that is worth flagging with a clear caveat: a December 29, 2025 analysis describes WiseTech replacing the seat-and-transaction license model on its flagship CargoWise platform with a per-transaction “Value Pack” model on December 1, 2025 (citing figures like $19.95 per full import container transaction), with reported cost increases in the 20–50%+ range for existing customers. This reporting is specifically about core CargoWise — WiseTech's international freight-forwarding platform — and does not mention CargoWise Landside or Profit Tools. We are not extending it to Profit Tools pricing; it's included here only as context on the parent company's recent direction on commercial models, and as a reason to ask explicitly whether any similar transaction-based model applies to a Profit Tools quote.

The Enterprise-Suite Question
Why This Is More Complicated Than a Single TMS Quote
A pricing question for a standalone TMS is usually one question: what does the software cost. A pricing question for Profit Tools is really two questions, because Profit Tools isn't sold as an independent product anymore — it's one named TMS inside CargoWise Landside, itself one portfolio inside WiseTech Global, following the 2023 acquisition of Envase Technologies.
The first question is what's actually bundled. CargoWise Landside's own drayage-TMS page lists Profit Tools alongside Compcare and GTG TMS without clarifying which capabilities — order management, dispatch, billing/settlements, accessorial audit tools, track & trace, the driver app — ship as standard versus which are optional modules priced separately. A carrier evaluating “Profit Tools” needs that broken out before a quote means anything.
The second question is what relationship you're actually buying. Are you licensing drayage TMS functionality on its own, or does the deal implicitly pull you into a broader CargoWise Landside — or wider WiseTech — commercial relationship, with its own support structure, contract terms, and potential exposure to pricing-model changes elsewhere in WiseTech's portfolio? Neither Profit Tools' page nor CargoWise Landside's page answers this publicly. It has to be asked directly, and the sales-call checklist below is built around getting it in writing.
Evaluation Factors — Not Confirmed Charges
Likely Cost Drivers to Ask About
None of the items below are confirmed Profit Tools line items — there is no published pricing to point to. They're the categories that typically move the total cost of an enterprise TMS deployment up or down, based on how Profit Tools and CargoWise Landside describe the product and how deals in this class are usually structured. Confirm every one of these directly with sales.
- Module bundling within CargoWise Landside (standard vs. add-on)
- Implementation/onboarding scoped for an enterprise environment
- EDI/API connection setup to your terminals and customers
- Seats/users and how licensing is structured
- Training for dispatch, billing, and driver-facing staff
- Support tier (standard vs. premium/priority)
- Data migration from a legacy system
- Contract length and any broader WiseTech relationship terms
Buyer's Worksheet
Total Cost of Ownership Worksheet
Use this as a literal worksheet on your next call — one row per cost category, what to budget time or money for, and the exact question that gets you a real answer instead of a marketing line.
| Cost category | What to budget for | Ask directly |
|---|---|---|
| Implementation & onboarding | Configuring order management, dispatch, and billing/settlements for your fleet before go-live, scoped as an enterprise deployment rather than a self-serve setup. | What does implementation cost and include, and how is it scoped for a fleet our size? |
| Module bundling within CargoWise Landside | CargoWise Landside lists Profit Tools alongside other drayage TMS products (Compcare, GTG TMS) without spelling out what ships together vs. separately. | What is included in a Profit Tools license by default, and what is billed as a separate module? |
| Integrations (EDI/API) | Connecting terminal, customer, and rail EDI/API feeds — CargoWise Landside cites 60+ terminal and rail connections at the portfolio level. | Which of our required EDI/API connections are pre-built, and which require custom integration work? |
| Seats / users & licensing | Dispatcher, back-office, and driver-app access as headcount changes over the contract term. | Is licensing per seat, per truck, per transaction, or a flat enterprise fee? |
| Data migration | Moving historical loads, rate records, and customer data out of a legacy system into Profit Tools. | Who performs data migration from our current system, and is that scoped in the contract? |
| Training | Ramp-up for dispatch, billing, and driver-app users on an enterprise system, plus refreshers after updates. | Is training included, and for how many seats and sessions? |
| Support tier | Response times and escalation paths once live — enterprise software often separates standard from priority support. | What support tier is included by default, and what does a higher tier cost? |
| Internal labor | Your own team’s time on vendor calls, configuration decisions, QA, and running parallel systems during cutover. | What does a typical customer at our fleet size spend internally getting to go-live? |
Want to model what any of this means for your own fleet's numbers rather than a vendor's? Our ROI calculator is built for that side of the comparison.
Sales-Call Checklist
Exact Questions to Ask Profit Tools / WiseTech Sales
Because nothing about Profit Tools' pricing is public, and because it's sold inside a larger enterprise portfolio, a direct conversation is the only reliable source. Bring this list and get answers in writing before you sign anything.
- 01Are we buying standalone Profit Tools, or does this quote include a broader CargoWise Landside/WiseTech relationship?
- 02If we only need drayage TMS functionality, what is unbundled or optional, and what does each piece cost separately?
- 03What is the typical enterprise implementation timeline for a fleet our size, and what does that estimate include?
- 04Is pricing per seat, per truck, per transaction, or a flat enterprise license — and has that model changed recently?
- 05What does EDI/API connection setup to our specific terminals and customers cost, and who owns that integration work?
- 06What support tier is included by default, and what does a higher tier cost on top?
- 07What does migrating our historical data out of our current TMS into Profit Tools involve, and who does that work?
- 08If we later want to leave, what does data portability and contract exit look like?
Cost & Effort Tradeoffs
Replacing an Enterprise TMS Module vs. Adding an AI Operating Layer
Every line item above is really a question about one bigger decision, and it's a bigger decision for Profit Tools specifically because it's not a standalone swap — it's replacing one module inside an enterprise suite, potentially touching a broader WiseTech relationship.
Replacing Profit Tools entirely — whether with another full TMS or a different enterprise platform — carries the usual switching costs (migrating historical loads and customer records, retraining dispatch and billing staff, running old and new systems in parallel) plus a layer specific to this situation: untangling whatever else in your stack touches CargoWise Landside or WiseTech, and negotiating an exit from an enterprise relationship rather than a simple subscription cancellation.
Adding an AI operating layer on top of Profit Tools is a different shape of cost. Doublefast is built to work this way: it can sit on top of an existing TMS — including Profit Tools, if that's what you already run — handling repetitive dispatch, appointment, and billing work while your operating team stays in control, without a system-of-record swap, historical-data migration, or renegotiation of your WiseTech relationship. Doublefast can also support carriers without a suitable TMS in place at all. See can AI work alongside Profit Tools and Profit Tools + drayage automation for how that pairing works in practice, and Doublefast vs Profit Tools for a fuller side-by-side.
Neither path is universally cheaper. A carrier that has outgrown Profit Tools' fit for its operation may get more value from a full platform switch than from layering automation on top of a system that no longer serves it. A carrier that's satisfied with Profit Tools but buried in manual coordination work may get more value from adding a layer than from a second enterprise migration. If you're weighing full platform alternatives specifically, our Profit Tools alternatives page and best drayage TMS platforms guide cover that comparison directly.
One Production Deployment
What an AI Layer's Economics Looked Like at One Carrier
This describes one specific carrier's results, not a guarantee, an industry average, or something true of “customers” in general — and it wasn't a Profit Tools deployment specifically — but it's the most concrete economics we can point to for the “add a layer” side of the tradeoff above. A 30-truck NY/NJ drayage carrier deployed Doublefast as an operating layer and, over the following months, grew from roughly 1,500 to 1,700 containers a month on the same 30 trucks — creating capacity for about 2,400 additional containers a year, or roughly $930,000 in annualized revenue capacity (Doublefast, internal deployment data). The same carrier's back-office headcount dropped from five people to two, a 60% reduction; demurrage and per diem charges fell from about $4,000 a month to zero in the most recent 30 days; invoicing moved from a 3-4 day lag after delivery to same-day; and three owner-operators who had left the carrier the quarter before deployment came back once dispatch consistency improved.
