SHIPSTA CEO Christian Wilhelm left Kuenhe + Nagel in 2015 with the dream of making logistics procurement as easy as booking a hotel room. Today the company is adding road freight to its marketplace for complete multi-modal freight sourcing. Businesses can now procure air, ocean and road freight with just a few clicks on ShipstaGO.com.
With much of the freight industry still dependent on manual processes, sourcing and comparing spot rates can be a slow and painful task involving telephone calls, emails and even faxes. Our customer research found that process of procuring spot freight requires 65 minutes of administrative work.
This is manageable for sporadic needs but in a hot market when businesses are entirely reliant on the spot market to keep their supply chains moving it results in very significant administrative and processing costs.
ShipstaGO.com is an intuitive web-based platform which lets shippers rapidly source and compare spot rates from alternative carriers and freight forwarders. They can also award their spot freight through the marketplace, all with just a few clicks. It is proven to reduce sourcing process and administration by 95%, as well as giving full visibility of historical rates and transactions.
“Our message is simple: ShipstaGO will save you valuable time and help minimise any loss in efficiency," comments Christian Wilhelm, founder and CEO at SHIPSTA.
