The Challenge

Ocean shipping shouldn't be reactive.

Rates move before you see them

Fixed rates don't hold the way they once did; if they exist at all. When the market shifts, pricing decisions are already locked in. Without live market benchmarks, you're operating on lagging indicators.

Commitments slip fast without warning

Shortfalls and service gaps often surface after the fact when issues have cascaded downstream and it's too late to intervene.

Costs exceed budgets

Freight spend typically becomes visible when finance closes the month, leaving teams to explain variance instead of preventing it.

How We Help

Take control before volatility takes over.

An integrated approach to managing rates, commitments, and costs.

Market Intelligence

Stay ahead of market shifts with trusted rate indices, real-time sailing schedules, and expert analysis so you're never relying on stale data or hearsay.

Benchmarking

See how your rates, costs, and execution stack up against the market and peers so you can identify gaps before they become problems.

Shippers

Monitor volume commitments and service reliability across carriers and NVOCCs so your freight moves as planned.

Cost Management

Connect rates and execution outcomes to real spend so freight costs are understood, drivers explained, and managed in flight rather than after month-end closes.
