India’s online international freight exchange Cogoport is all set to expand its operations globally by opening two more overseas offices in China and at Amsterdam, Netherlands, by March. The company is looking at the new opportunities opened by the Government of India’s port-related development policies, Kunal Rathore, Co-founder and Head of Business Development revealed.
Cogoport enables price comparison for trucking, custom and inland docking charges. Combining technology and data, the platform takes into account millions of line items such as prices, transit times, vessel details for one lakh port pairs across the world and hundreds of suppliers, among other variables, to discover the best freight rates for customers by offering price comparison across players. It allows customers to compare rates and book shipment as well as track it online.
With Cogoport’s logistics portal, merchants can plan their shipments in advance, enabling efficiencies. The company also offers door-to- door services by way of price comparisons for trucking, custom charges and inland docking charges from the same platform, Rathore added.
