Flexport

Cheapest freight and good vibes used to get boxes across oceans. Growth turned that motto into an expensive scavenger hunt.

Flexport is your modern supply chain cockpit. You get ocean and air freight that actually arrives when forecasts say it should, real-time shipment tracking, and SKU-level visibility that keeps cash flow and inventory honest.

Book space, compare routes, and manage suppliers in one place. Customs brokerage is built in, so clearance, duty optimization, and compliance happen without late-night spreadsheet archaeology. Buyer's consolidation packs multiple POs into full containers, so you pay less per unit and ship greener.

Need omnichannel fulfillment? Use Flexport's warehouse network for fast parcel shipping and returns, with integrations to your ecommerce stack. The Control Tower and Flexport Intelligence surface delays, ETAs, emissions, and landed cost drivers, then automate the boring parts.

Your process stays simple. Connect your stores and ERP, pick lanes, set SKUs and lead times, and watch the platform coordinate factories, forwarders, ports, and carriers. You get accurate ETDs and ETAs, exception alerts, and a single source of truth your ops team can trust.

Result: faster delivery, fewer stockouts, lower freight spend, cleaner compliance, and a supply chain that scales without hiring a small navy.
