THE FREIGHT COLLABORATION
PLATFORM

2. INDUSTRY PROBLEM
IN 2019, MORE THAN 802 MILLION
TEU WERE TRANSPORTED AND
HANDLED WORLDWIDE
This massive global trade coordina:on was
only possible with the services provided by
FREIGHT FORWARDERS & CUSTOMS
BROKERS.

3. THE BACKBONE that supports the global trade
Freight forwarders are cri:cal to the logis:cs
value chain, ac:ng as a connector for firms that
move goods as part of an integrated,
mul:modal logis:cs network, providing turn
key solu:ons to companies, ac:ng as their
logis:cs partner.
≅25 Billion Emails were
exchanged to coordinate
2019’s Container Global
Trade 😫
Most of this cri:cal coordina:on
is managed by phone calls, emails
and spreadsheets

4. Freight forwarders are struggling to adapt to evolving customer
expectations and increased competition as they rely heavily on
manual and non scalable processes.
Shipping lines encroaching on logistics partners:
Liners are looking to expand their footprint with customers (i.e. Maersk
launching Twill, CMA CGM’s CEVA acquisition, Evergreen & GreenX).
Threatened by “tech-first” entrants:
Flexport, FreightOS, etc. are “digital-first” forwarders or marketplaces, with a
large portion of their business model designed to replace “3rd parties”.
Dwindling margins & diseconomies of scale:
Having to often compete on price as opposed to value - with large players
and their tech budgets & innovation teams (i.e. DHL, FedEx, Panalpina)
MARKET PROBLEMS
Their problems are even further compounded by:

5. OFFICE PROBLEMS
The current customer experience freight forwarders provide to shippers rely typically on redundant and
resource consuming spreadsheets, phone/text paper processes, and legacy internal management systems.
This leads to:
BURDENSOME QUOTING
PROCESS
LACK OF TRACKING AND
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
FOCUS
FRAGMENTED
COMMUNICATION
NO DATA STORAGE OR
ANALYSIS
Obtaining quotes is a manual
and lengthy process which
takes time away from
forwarder and reduces focus
on top priorities.
Most industry solutions still
dominated by legacy tech -
expensive and clunky
“customer access portals”.
Significant time & overhead
wasted on sales and support
corresponding via email, phone/
fax, and WhatsApp.
Manual storing of key
documents (BL, Customs forms,
invoices, etc.) Data from
previous shipment orders are
not used to inform future ones.
Only 6% of the largest freight forwarders and ocean carriers offer end-to-end online booking capabilities.
(McKinsey, 2018) - still an tech opportunity that most organization can capitalize on.

6. 100’S OF DAILY EMAILS TONS OF TEXT MESSAGES TOO MANY CALLS
Many things have changed in the last 10 to 15 years…
BUT not so much in the freight forwarding/brokerage world:
