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.
Sell Goods While They’re Still at Sea
Track your ocean freight 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.
One Seamless World. No More Black Box.
Look around your room. Everything you see was built all over the world. Yet, though we're more connected than ever, our ability to ship, store, and trade goods has remained fragmented. It takes up to 20 companies to move one shipment, each with its own systems and processes. Flexport’s Platform simplifies global trade by connecting everyone in the supply chain. We’re setting a new standard for global trade.
