How It Works

Explorate increases the speed of international trade

The Global Problem

Ocean freight is still booked like travel was in the 1990's. Over 250,000 containers are booked by phone and fax everyday. Every single day.

• Costly - Shippers pay 20% extra to freight resellers (known as freight forwarders).
• Slow - 48 hour wating for pricing, then an additional 24 hour wait for a booking.
• Manual - 50% of ocean freight containers are booked by phone and fax.
• Risky - Changing freight forwarder is expensive and risky

But Why Care? Logistics is one of the last industries where end consumers are as disconnected from the purchasing process as they currently are.

Explorate connects two of the most important players in global trade, the shipping line and the importer/exporter.
