Freightos is saving us money (we love the multiple bids!) and gives us a range of delivery options all at the same time (air vs ocean, etc.), plus we feel more empowered in managing our supply chain with real-time updates that are always available on our Freightos dashboard.

Freightos has cut down our shipping costs by almost 20%. It allows us to compare quotes on demand and it’s so nice not to have to wait hours or days to get quotes back from a freight forwarder, just to find out they’re more expensive than what’s instantly available on Freightos.

Marketplaces give buyers the ability to compare multiple providers easily across a variety of metrics – pricing, reliability, performance, and more – rather than researching them one by one. While we are all familiar with the experience in the consumer world with platforms like Expedia, business-to-business (B2B) platforms typically support both finding vendors as well as making it easier to work with the ones you find.
At Freightos.com importers and exporters can instantly compare, book and manage a variety of global freight solutions, whether air or ocean freight across multiple freight forwarders, comparing across parameters like price, transit time, reviews, and more. Once booked, companies can easily manage and pay for all their shipments in one place across multiple providers. Instant comparisons combined with Freightos data and verified reviews means that importers save time on research prior to booking a shipment and save time on coordination during the process.
While the average time to get spot quotes from leading forwarders is nearly two days (!), Freightos manages air, ocean and trucking rates for thousands of logistics providers and uses sophisticated algorithms to instantly provide door-to-door spot quotes, complete with all relevant freight surcharges. To calculate shipping costs on Freightos.com, we consider factors such as shipment weight, dimensions, transport mode, origin, destination, required additional services, like customs clearance, and more. Our algorithm compares routes and prices from multiple forwarders and carriers, taking into account additional services. By providing accurate information, you can get an exact quote and find the best option for you.
What are the differences between Freightos and a freight forwarder?
A freight forwarder is a company that manages the logistics of shipping goods from one location to another. Freightos.com is a marketplace that connects shippers across dozens of freight forwarders and carriers. In some cases, Freightos also helps those forwarders connect directly to airlines and ocean liners, ensuring that the results you see are true to the market. We don’t move your freight – but we connect you to providers that do, and allow you to choose the one for you.
On Freightos.com, you can get instant quotes and book air freight, ocean freight, and trucking freight services. You’ll have all the tools you need to manage your own shipments and find the best service providers to fit your needs.

Does booking through a digital freight marketplace cost more than booking through a forwarder?
Our marketplace connects importers and exporters to instant comparison across multiple providers, giving them access to more competitive pricing and a wider range of services than they would get with a single provider. While Freightos does take a small percentage from the provider, this is typically far less than providers would pay for advertising, customer acquisition, and customer service, ensuring that rates on Freightos are transparent and competitive.
What information do I need to get started on the Freightos platform?
To get started on Freightos.com, you’ll need to create an account with your email address and a password. Then, we’ll ask for some basic information about your shipment, including the origin, destination, load, and goods. This is all you need to get an instant quote and start comparing prices and services from our wide range of forwarders. Click here to get started and get ship done!
