Transform container logistics by freeing yourself from legacy data systems, manual document handling and poor visibility.
A global growth opportunity
It’s estimated that global trade is now worth more than $18 trillion USD per year. The majority of traded goods are transported, at some point, by ocean going vessels in steel shipping containers. The value of that containerized freight is approximately $12 trillion USD. But paper-based trade and manual document-handling slow logistics and facilitation, reducing the potential by up to 15%.
As the world continues to develop, demand for container freight transport is projected to grow significantly. If we work together to scale information digitization and exchange then we can claim that 15%, resulting in a $1.8 trillion increase this year and $5.2 trillion per year by 2050.
