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.
