What is Freightos: The Online Freight Marketplace
Freightos is an online freight marketplace and booking platform that lets shippers and logistics teams compare, quote, and book international freight services across modes such as air and ocean. It is used by importers/exporters, freight forwarders, and carriers to digitize rate discovery and tendering and to manage bookings through a web interface and APIs. The product emphasizes standardized, real-time pricing and online booking workflows rather than operating as a full transportation management system for end-to-end execution.
Digital rate comparison and booking
The platform centralizes freight rate discovery and enables online booking in a single workflow. This supports faster procurement cycles than email- and spreadsheet-based quoting. It is particularly suited to international freight where rate volatility and surcharges make manual comparison time-consuming.
Marketplace network connectivity
Freightos operates as a multi-party marketplace connecting shippers, forwarders, and carriers. This network model can reduce the effort required to source capacity compared with point-to-point integrations. It also supports standardized offer presentation, which helps users compare services across providers.
API-first integration options
Freightos provides APIs that allow rate retrieval and booking to be embedded into shipper, forwarder, or carrier systems. This supports automation for high-volume quoting and reduces manual re-keying of shipment details. API connectivity is useful for teams that want marketplace pricing inside existing procurement or logistics workflows.
Not a full TMS suite
Freightos focuses on rate discovery and booking rather than comprehensive transportation management. Organizations that need deep execution features (dispatch, yard/driver workflows, complex domestic routing, or broad carrier compliance tooling) may require additional systems. Some operational processes may still sit outside the platform depending on mode and provider.
Coverage varies by lane and carrier
Marketplace results depend on participating providers and the lanes/modes they support. Users may not find equivalent depth for every trade lane, commodity, or specialized service requirement. In those cases, teams may still need direct carrier/forwarder relationships and offline quoting.
International freight complexity remains
Even with online booking, international shipments often require documentation, customs coordination, and exception handling that can involve manual steps. Service terms, surcharges, and accessorials can be nuanced and may require validation outside standardized quotes. This can limit straight-through processing for complex shipments.
