Make data-driven decisions with FAX and FAX Pulse – indices fed by carriers representing over 70% of global air cargo capacity. When ocean rates spike and you need to evaluate modal shifts, FAX gives you the real-time pricing clarity to act with confidence.
FAX Pulse offers:
Supply Index: Track available airline capacity – rising means more options, falling means tightening
Demand Index: Monitor forwarder search volume by lane to spot demand shifts early
Booking Index: See actual conversion from quotes to confirmed bookings
Tonnage Index: Identify weight trends that reveal consolidation patterns and capacity utilization

Configure custom trade lanes at the port-to-port or airport-to-airport level and access market pricing across the full spread – from minimum to maximum. Compare spot and contract rates for your specific corridors, including operational metrics such as transit times and port performance, where available.

When a carrier tells you rates are up 40%, you need to know if the market actually moved 40% – or 23%. Our benchmarking engine compares your rates against data representing $50 billion in annual freight spend. Upload your rate sheets securely and compare performance across your logistics service providers. Easily identify savings opportunities across trade lanes, track total spend, potential savings, and spread vs. median, and see exactly where you sit in the market distribution.
Who’s already using this: FBX-linked contracts are used by leading shippers and carriers globally, with futures traded on both the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and Singapore Exchange (SGX).

Freight markets donโt wait, and neither should your planning. Forecast ocean and air rate movement with data-backed insights built from historical pricing, seasonality, and real-time market events โ so you can make smarter procurement, budgeting, and negotiation decisions before rates shift.
