8 key advantages
Each with a concrete metric — no marketing fog.
Transparent rates

You see freight, THC, BAF, insurance, customs — every line item before you sign. No "on request" and no accordion surprises in the invoice.
Quote in 5 seconds
−95% time
Calculator vs. a day of emailing 3 forwarders. 5 seconds against 2-3 hours per request.
Savings on the route
−8-23% vs market
Direct contracts with shipping lines, rail operators and trucking fleets. No intermediary markup at every link.
60+ partners
5 transport modes
One request → 5-10 options from different carriers. Compare in a single UI, one contract for everything.
Real-time tracking
DCSA + custom
Push notifications for every milestone. You learn about a delay 72 hours ahead, not on the day the date slips.
API + integrations
REST + webhooks
Sync with WMS / ERP / CRM. Quoting, bookings, statuses, documents — programmatically inside your systems.
Escrow payments
0 financial risks
The payment is held until delivery is confirmed. The carrier is not paid upfront — the risk of poor service goes down.
Multi-route bidding
5-10 in one request
One request → quotes for 5-10 routes in parallel. You pick the optimal price/time balance.
