What it does
Blume Global is a supply chain visibility and execution platform owned by WiseTech Global, the maker of CargoWise. It gives carriers, manufacturers, and logistics providers visibility into shipments and helps them act on problems early. Ocean and rail carriers use it for real-time tracking and asset management. Manufacturers use tools that came from Blume's LiveSource acquisition, covering supplier management, sourcing, and order collaboration, and terminal operators use it to schedule appointments and pay terminal fees. Blume Global says it operates in more than 170 countries and counts Maersk, CSX, and Union Pacific among its customers. WiseTech Global has invested heavily in the platform since buying it in 2023. Note that blume.com belongs to an unrelated skincare brand; the real site is blumeglobal.com.
Where it can help
This fits a manufacturer, carrier, or logistics provider working across ocean and rail freight with multiple partners, and helps most when sourcing, supplier management, and shipment visibility now live in separate systems that do not share data. A reasonable starting point is one side of the business, such as ocean visibility or supplier collaboration, before adding more. Blume Global does not publish public prices; expect a custom quote tied to your network size and the modules you need, and treat any figure you find as a planning estimate only. The main risks are the platform's complexity, since it spans several older acquired products, and the fact that its roadmap now depends on WiseTech Global's broader plans, including its pending purchase of E2open.

Risk profile
Required controls
Security and safe use
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Exit and rollback
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
Recommended next step
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
