Ocean freight forwarder: evolution of end-to-end solutions from booking to booking

The core competitiveness of traditional maritime freight forwarders lies in obtaining cabin space and optimizing costs, while leading enterprises are reconstructing service boundaries through the 'maritime+X' model. Taking domestic and foreign port freight forwarders as an example, their 'sea freight+overseas warehouse+final delivery' solution extends the transportation responsibility under traditional FOB terms to consumers:

Booking process: Through electronic data interchange (EDI) systems with 20 shipping companies, real-time cabin space queries are achieved 24/7. A furniture export enterprise has increased the success rate of peak season booking from 60% to 92%;

Transportation link: Develop a 'carbon emission calculator' to help customers choose low-carbon routes. For example, on the route from Ningbo to Los Angeles, it is recommended to use LNG powered ships, which can reduce single container carbon emissions by 28%;

Destination service: Build self operated overseas warehouses in hub ports such as Los Angeles and Rotterdam, providing 'unpacking and distribution+local delivery' services. A toy importer has compressed the clearance to delivery time from 7 days to 3 days through this solution.
