Introducing the Freightos Marketplace

Introducing the Freightos Marketplace

In 1900, gross world production was $175 billion dollars. By 2014, it reached $77 trillion dollars.

This tremendous growth was driven by freight shipping, which scaled in size but didn’t significantly improve underlying technology, getting bigger, not getting smarter. For example, 26% of the 730 million TEUs shipped annually and approximately 30% of trucks on the road are empty.

In an era that has embraced data technology for improving everything from entertainment to finance, freight is still manual.

The data of global supply chains simply moves too slowly, creating a barrier for frictionless global trade. Three-day freight quoting, opaque pricing, error-prone data entry and incorrect routing hold logistics providers, retailers, distributers and importers hostage to manual processes and wasted money.

…we set out to change this by bringing freight shipping online.

So we spent the past four years helping some of the largest freight companies automate operations. After automating over five million free freight quotes, we’re proud to finally announce that we’re launching our online freight marketplace.

Our goal remains making global trade frictionless.

Using the Freightos Marketplace, companies can get instant freight quotes from great forwarders, book them and manage freight shipments online. Combined with 24/7 support and incredible rates, the marketplace will make it easier to import and export than ever before.

Eytan Buchman loves freight so much he shouts out container sizes while he walks around. He’s obsessed with marketing, data storytelling (it’s a thing!) and bakes really good cookies. He’s the Chief Marketing Officer at the Freightos Group, which runs Freightos, the world’s leading online freight marketplace, and WebCargo, the digital network connecting logistics providers with airlines and ocean liners. When he’s not thinking about pallets, he hosts the Marketers in Capes podcast, and consults to a number of startups and nonprofits. He still likes Minidisc players and has never skied. Ever.
