Ocean Freight Connectivity

A modern alternative to legacy booking and container-shipping platforms.

We offer a solution that enables freight forwarding businesses to part ways with legacy ocean booking platforms

Throughout our years at the forefront of data connectivity for logistics and supply chains, coneksion® has helped a number of freight forwarders move away from the legacy solutions they had relied on for so long. The most common request we receive is to streamline the ocean booking routine, as the solutions that are widely used for this purpose are technologically obsolete and incredibly costly.

After identifying this common industry need for the migration, coneksion® created a product to serve as a solution that would enable freight forwarders, as well as other stakeholders of the industry, to say goodbye to legacy platforms and elevate the efficiency of their businesses.

Freight Forwarders use our service to:

Expand Ecosystems Connect directly with carriers that are vital to your business but not yet part of the ecosystem of your current ocean booking solution.

Save Time and Resources Save time and money that would otherwise be spent on additional software to bridge the technological gaps of your current solutions.

Become Multimodal Manage all transport modalities from a single system and have all the data available in one easy-to-access space, such as TMS, ERP, or any other system you use.

Eliminate manual processes Eliminate time-consuming, error-prone manual booking processes.

Improve Visibility Receive status updates on freight movement in real-time.

Facilitate efficient data exchange Send booking requests and shipping instructions directly to the carrier of your choice.

By entrusting us with your data needs, you can say goodbye to the following issues forever:

Functionality issues

Not satisfied with the rigid roadmaps of your current solution?

Do the roadmap limitations of your current legacy booking platform create obstacles that hinder the growth of your business? You're not alone!
Solutions designed to satisfy the masses cannot efficiently address the specific challenges faced by your company.

Financial issues

Tired of constantly increasing service fees?

Are you struggling with unexpectedly increasing service prices? Are you currently planning to increase the price of your service to account for this loss? What if we were to say that you don't have to?

Ecosystem expansion issues

Is bringing in new carriers a challenge?

The need to rapidly bring new carriers into your ecosystem is crucial for many. However, with legacy platforms, adding a new party that is not part of the platform’s existing ecosystem is often impossible. Of course, you can always add one more solution to your IT stack, but is that really the optimal solution?

Transport modality limitation issues

Is your solution only ocean-focused?

Is your business active in different modalities, but the booking solution you rely on only works with the ocean-related segment? Is consulting another additional platform the only option to overcome the challenge? Not really!

Are you recognizing your need for change?

Carrier Connectivity

If you're looking to integrate with a carrier that is not already part of your ecosystem and is also not available as part of your existing solution, you don't have to start your integrations from scratch. Instead, you can take advantage of coneksion's existing ecosystem, which includes a wide range of ocean, air, and road carriers, as well as the leading TMS (Transportation Management System) solutions used by these companies.

By doing so, you can significantly speed up your integration project and avoid the need to make substantial investments in an in-house team of integration experts or the expensive software programs and technologies required for in-house development.

Enrichment of Data Using Multiple Sources

Sometimes, a carrier might require booking information that you do not have readily available. Coneksion® can pull the required data from multiple different sources, such as your ERP, WMS, and TMS, combine and clean that information, and forward it to the carrier. This same process can also be done in the opposite direction. In addition, Youredi can handle other types of data enrichment or validation. Just explain your specific needs during the setup phase and we’ll get it done for you!
