Description

Almost every single thing that you eat, wear, or use (yes, even the screen you’re reading this on) is imported. Freight quite literally moves the world. And we’re helping it move even better.

Freightos (Nasdaq: CRGO) is the global booking and payment platform for the trillion-dollar freight industry. Hundreds of airlines and ocean liners, thousands of freight companies, and over ten thousand importers and exporters use our platform to move goods around the world faster and more efficiently. This matters. Efficient freight ultimately makes things cost a little bit less when you buy them in the store.

As the leading global freight booking platform for a massive industry, we’ve been crushing it with double-digit growth, year after year, supporting well over one million shipments every year.

As you can imagine, moving $19 trillion dollars of goods around the world is hard. It’s something the global economy had to deal with until (cue superhero music) we came in, providing solutions that make online freight pricing, negotiation, booking, and management painless. There’s a reason some of the world’s largest companies, as well as thousands of small businesses that just want to focus on getting ship done, rely on us every day.
