Global Freight

Multimodal Freight

Air, sea, rail and road combined into one optimised routing.

The problem

Why businesses struggle

Single-mode shipping forces a choice between speed and cost, when the right answer is usually a combination of both.

Business impact

  • Premium airfreight paid end to end
  • Sea-only routings that miss launch dates
  • Separate contracts for each leg

FAQ

Multimodal Freight questions, answered

What is multimodal freight?+

Cargo moved on a single contract using two or more transport modes — for example sea to a hub, then air or road onwards.

Is multimodal cheaper?+

Usually yes against pure air, and faster than pure sea. We model both before recommending a routing.

Do I get one set of documents for the whole journey?+

Yes, one booking and one document set cover every leg, with a single accountable operations team.

Can I see the shipment across every leg in one view?+

Yes, milestones are reported across all legs in one shipment view rather than separately per mode.
