What Tradeos does

Freightos operates a vendor-neutral global freight booking and payment platform connecting importers, exporters, freight forwarders, and carriers across ocean, air, rail, and road. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Luxembourg through Freightos S.a.r.l, with Israeli operating roots via Freightos Limited, the company went public on Nasdaq in 2024 (ticker: FRT) following approximately $110M in pre-IPO venture funding. Its modular platform, Freightos Enterprise, is built on three core modules: Terminal™ for real-time market intelligence across 350,000+ global trade lanes, Procure™ (incorporating Shipsta, acquired in 2023) for automated RFQ and tendering, and Rate, Book & Manage™ for end-to-end shipment execution. Proprietary IOSCO-compliant indices — the Freightos Baltic Index (FBX) and Freightos Air Index (FAX) — anchor a benchmarking and data product layer used in contract negotiations and procurement decisions.

The technology stack is API-first, with certified integrations to SAP, Oracle, SAP TM, OTM, GTN, and real-time transportation visibility providers (P44, 4Kites), and runs on an ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018, and ISO 9001-certified datacenter in Frankfurt with SOC 2 Type II reporting and 99.99% monthly uptime. Freightos operates a dual go-to-market: enterprise field sales with custom deployment for large shippers (named customers include PUMA, Electrolux, Buffalo Games, DB Schenker, Kuehne+Nagel, United Airlines Cargo, and MSC), and a product-led self-serve marketplace for SMB shippers. The WebCargo sub-brands (WebCargo Forwarder™, WebCargo 7LFreight™, WebCargo Airline™, WebCargo Ocean™) serve forwarder and carrier-side distribution, while Clearit™ provides customs brokerage for U.S. and Canada.

Revenue is generated through annual SaaS subscriptions priced as a function of customer freight spend and through marketplace transaction facilitation. Q2 2025 operating metrics were $317M in Gross Booking Value across 397K transactions, 125+ carrier partners, 20.2K unique buyer users, 4,000+ global freight forwarders (including nearly all of the top 20), 10,000+ connected forwarder offices, and $50B in live market data surfacing across Terminal dashboards. Marketing relies on content (Freightos blog, weekly newsletter with 65K+ subscribers), webinars, industry events, SEO-driven freight calculators, and PR coverage. The company operates globally with no geographic restrictions cited.
