What is The Freightos Group

The Freightos Group operates digital platforms for international freight procurement and booking, focused on ocean and air freight. It supports freight forwarders, carriers, and shippers that need to compare rates, manage tenders/quotes, and execute bookings through online workflows and integrations. The product set includes marketplace-style rate discovery and booking as well as tools for forwarder quoting and shipper procurement. It differentiates from many TMS-focused tools by emphasizing real-time freight rate distribution and transaction workflows across multiple logistics parties.

pros

Digital rate discovery and booking

The platform is designed around searching, comparing, and booking international freight services using digital rate content. This supports faster procurement and execution for common air and ocean freight lanes compared with email- and spreadsheet-based processes. It is particularly relevant for organizations that need frequent spot pricing and booking across multiple providers.

Multi-party network connectivity

Freightos connects shippers, freight forwarders, and carriers through shared workflows for quoting and booking. This network approach can reduce one-off integrations when trading partners already participate on the platform. It also supports standardized data exchange for rate and booking information across parties.

Procurement and quoting workflows

The product set includes tools that support shipper procurement (e.g., RFQs/tenders) and forwarder quoting processes. These workflows help structure pricing, service selection, and award decisions with auditability compared to ad hoc communications. This is useful for teams that manage recurring bid events and need consistent rate governance.

cons

International freight centric scope

The core capabilities focus on air and ocean freight procurement and booking rather than end-to-end domestic trucking operations. Organizations needing deep dispatch, driver workflows, yard management, or last-mile execution may require additional systems. This can limit suitability as a single system of record for all transportation modes.

Value depends on partner participation

Network-based rate and booking workflows work best when carriers and forwarders in a shipper’s lanes actively publish rates and accept digital bookings. If key partners are not connected or do not provide usable rate content, teams may fall back to manual processes. This can reduce the practical coverage of the platform for certain trade lanes or niche services.

Not a full distribution suite

While it supports procurement and booking transactions, it is not positioned as a comprehensive distribution/ERP platform covering inventory, warehouse operations, and order management. Companies seeking broad distribution software capabilities typically need separate WMS/ERP components. Integration effort may be required to connect freight procurement to downstream fulfillment and financial processes.
