BOOK

Reserve Ocean Freight Without the Emails

Configure rules and suppliers can submit ocean bookings right in the Flexport Platform. Submit container size, incoterms, PO numbers, and any container add-ons, like premium discharge or no roll. A unified view helps you and suppliers stay aligned.

Track

Sell Goods While They’re Still at Sea

Track everything for total inventory control. Know where containers are at all times. Search for POs or SKUs on the water and sell what’s still in transit to keep your supply chain going strong.

Clear

Get Shipments Cleared Before They Hit Shore

Flexport customs brokers stay ahead of the game by filing ISFs for you and managing any exceptions with built-in escalation plans. Your shipments are cleared before the vessel even arrives in port.

Deliver

On Time Deliveries with the Flexport Platform

Trucking carriers track your containers’ last free day and schedule and confirm appointments. Your warehouse is ready to receive because they see when POs and SKUs will arrive.
