What EAS International does

EAS International is a privately-held freight forwarding and time-critical logistics provider headquartered in Orly, France (incorporated as SAS EAS International with €10M share capital, RCS Créteil 424 665 701). Operating since 1993 (founded as Emergency Air Freight System), the company delivers urgent and emergency shipments across four transport modes — air freight (General Cargo, Next Flight Out, On-Board Courier, Charter, Helicopter), ocean freight (Waste Management, Dangerous Goods, Project cargo), road freight, and rail premium solutions — and supplements these with a Premium Customs Solutions brokerage covering centralized clearance and Brexit-specific services. It targets five primary verticals: Automotive, Aerospace (including AOG — Aircraft on Ground), Electronics, Pharmaceutical (GDP-compliant), and Luxury goods, addressing pain points such as production-line downtime, aircraft ground time, sensitive-electronics handling, and temperature-chain integrity.

The company's underlying technology is described as an in-house freight forwarding and logistics management platform providing real-time, proactively-updated shipment tracking, online document management, and a free online quote request system. It does not expose a public API, SDK, or MCP integration surface, has no mobile app, and discloses no proprietary AI/ML capabilities. Operational quality is instead signaled via an extensive accreditation stack — IATA, AEO Full (Safety and Security), ISO 9001 (self-reported 99.50% all-destinations service rate), ISO 14001, Good Distribution Practices (GDP) certified in Orly, Casablanca, and Warsaw, and EcoVadis Bronze — which collectively form a regulatory and quality barrier to entry.

EAS monetizes on a per-shipment transaction-fee basis across all four transport modes, plus professional-services fees for customs brokerage and optional cargo insurance negotiated separately. Pricing is fully quote-based, not publicly disclosed, and varies by mode, weight (actual or dimensional, whichever is greater), destination, and service urgency; volumetric weight factors of 250 Kg/m³ for Europe and 200 Kg/m³ for rest-of-world are applied. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (with dedicated sales personnel at each of 24+ regional offices) with a self-service online quote channel, supplemented by mid-funnel referrals from memberships in WCA Time Critical, WCA Projects, WCA Pharma, and Neutral Air Partner. The company has no institutional funding, no public listing, no disclosed revenue, and no disclosed headcount.
