Mark Chadwick, President of the Global Shippers Association, on Smarter Freight Decisions with Freightos Terminal

For Mark Chadwick, President of the Global Shippers Association (GSA), timely and unbiased data is essential for navigating today’s freight markets. Representing major companies like GE Healthcare, Staples, and Bose, GSA leverages collective buying power to secure contracts and ensure capacity, particularly during periods of volatility.

“Timely, credible data has been essential in educating our leadership and negotiating with carriers. In fast-moving markets, outdated or biased data is simply not good enough,” Chadwick explained.

With Freightos Terminal, GSA has gained a critical advantage through real-time insights tailored to their key trade lanes. “We can immediately see the trends for our 10–15 key lanes, like Shanghai to Chicago, without wading through irrelevant data.” The platform has also strengthened GSA’s negotiation power and streamlined internal reporting “We’ve avoided millions of dollars in unnecessary surcharges simply by having fresh data to validate our claims,” and decision-making when modal changes are needed and procurement teams need to move ocean cargo to air.
