Our engine builds the routings across sea, air, road and rail, scores each for inspection risk, permits and chokepoint exposure, then puts them to specialist forwarders to price. You get five real answers to the same shipment, and the reason the cheap one is cheap.

Freight is one of the few costs in your business with no visible market price. You find out whether the number was good only by paying it.
On an unfamiliar lane you call three or four forwarders. They know you have never shipped there, they know you will stop at three or four, and they know the whole thing is happening over email at nine at night. So they quote accordingly.
On a lane you have run for years the problem is quieter and usually larger. The rate creeps, nobody tests it, and the drift is invisible because there is nothing to compare it against.
The same shipment, three ways. All three are real, all three get priced, and the right one depends on facts about your buyer that no rate table knows to ask.
Saves $4,000 and crosses three borders. Each one can open the cargo, and bagged goods do not always survive an inspection intact.
Costs more, arrives later, and is opened once. One transhipment, and a rate that holds for three weeks rather than seven days.
Three times the price and on your customer's floor in four days. Absurd until the alternative is losing the account.
We build all three, score them, and have them priced. Then we tell you which one we would take and why, including the one we would not.
Most of our value shows up in one of three situations, and only the first is about expansion.
A buyer asks for a delivered price into a country you have never served. Until you know the freight you cannot quote, so the opportunity quietly dies on your desk.
What you get: a real number in five days, and the ability to answer.
Same route, same forwarder, same invoice every quarter. It might be a good rate. Nobody has checked in three years, and a few percent of drift on a lane you run constantly is real money.
What you get: a benchmark, and the answer either way.
Your forwarder proposes next year's rates. You have nothing to compare them with, so you negotiate on feel. Four competing quotes on the table changes that conversation completely.
What you get: leverage, whether or not you switch.
No marketplace to learn and no account to configure first. You describe a shipment. Four things then happen to it.
Every viable routing between your two points, not just the obvious one. Modes and combinations, transhipment options, border crossings, chokepoints.
Our engineEach routing carries a different set of problems. Permits, inspection exposure, sanctions contact, congestion history, how far the price has moved this quarter.
Our risk modelThe routings that survive the score go to specialist forwarders who can actually run them. We tell them what to price rather than asking what they happen to offer.
The marketEverything restated onto one scope and one currency, ranked on landed cost against time and risk, with the reasoning written out.
Us, with analystsThe prices are real because the market sets them. The options are better because we build them rather than wait to be offered them.
Commodity, cargo value, where it starts and where it actually has to end up. Ten minutes, and almost nothing is compulsory. Anything you do not have to hand, we pick up on the call.
Once the options are built and scored, they go to specialist forwarders at origin, in the destination market, and in your cargo class. Eight of them, identically, on the same morning, with a stated deadline. We tell them what to price rather than asking what they happen to run.
Who answered, how fast, who asked which question, who never replied. Responsiveness on an unfamiliar lane tells you as much as the rate does.
Quotes arrive in different currencies, on different Incoterms, with different things included. Making them honestly comparable is the actual work, and it is the part you cannot do from your own desk.
Priced routing options, transit times, validity dates, the documentation and permits each needs, the friction we found, and a recommendation with the reasoning. Then thirty minutes to walk through it.
Did you ship, with whom, at what price, did the quote hold. It closes the loop for you and makes the next report on that corridor sharper.
Three to five routings, each with an all-in price from a named forwarder, restated onto the same scope so the comparison is real rather than apparent.
How long each option takes and how long the price is held. A cheap quote with a seven day validity is not a cheap quote.
What each option requires and who has to obtain it. The item that delays a first shipment usually sits with the consignee, which is exactly why it gets missed.
Inspection reputation at the transit ports, seasonal congestion, packaging rules your cargo class triggers, tariff treatment at destination.
Response times, declines and the reason for each. Over a few reports this becomes your own map of who can actually cover which corridor.
Including which option we would not take and why. We can write that sentence because no forwarder pays us anything.
We take no commission, no placement fee and no referral from any forwarder we approach. You pay us for the report. You contract with them directly. That is the whole arrangement.The reason we can tell you which option to avoid
If you move standard pallets in standard containers on a well-traded lane, you already have good options and you do not need us. We are built for the shipments those platforms decline.
Hazardous and IMO classified goods. Bulk and breakbulk. Non-standard and out-of-gauge. Regulated chemicals moving into jurisdictions with import registration regimes. Corridors where documentation and screening decide whether the shipment happens at all.
Our first customers are mid-size industrial exporters in Türkiye, the Gulf and Southeast Asia who ship enough to care about the number and not enough to employ a logistics procurement team.
Mersin, İzmir, Ambarlı. Chemicals and metals moving east and south.
Jebel Ali, Sohar, Dammam. Re-export corridors and Hormuz routing risk.
Tanjung Priok, Port Klang, Singapore, plus the overland and air options that beat them on urgent cargo.
The fee scales with the value of the cargo, because that is what is at stake. Every price is published and there is no subscription.

No. No commission, no placement fee, no referral arrangement. You pay the report fee and contract with the forwarder directly. It is the reason we can put a recommendation in writing and tell you which option to avoid.
No. Roughly half of what we expect to do is benchmarking lanes people already run. If you ship the same route every quarter and have never tested the rate, one report a year tells you whether you are paying market. If it turns out you are, that is worth knowing too, and you stop wondering.
We refund the fee and you keep the report. A benchmark that confirms your current arrangement is good is a real result.
No. We do not move cargo, book space, issue documents or handle your money. We are a research service. When you choose an option we hand over the forwarder's contact details and step out of the way.
Anything with a sanctioned origin or destination, and anything where the commodity raises a dual-use question we cannot resolve. We screen every brief before approaching a single forwarder and tell you within one working day if we cannot take it.
The forwarders we approach see the cargo, route and timing, because they cannot quote without it. They do not see your company name, your customer or your current pricing unless you ask us to name you.
Ten minutes to describe a lane, and almost nothing is compulsory. Real quotes in five working days, or your money back if we find you nothing better.
