Jaguar Freight Services

What Jaguar Freight Services does

Jaguar Freight Services is a privately held, licensed freight forwarder and NVOCC founded in 1993, operating from a global headquarters in Valley Stream, New York, with additional offices in Antwerpen, Belgium, and London, United Kingdom. The company provides international shipping coordination across air, ocean, and land modes for clients in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America, with a particular focus on enterprise consumer goods customers in the beauty, cosmetics, fragrance, and personal care verticals. Named customers include Charlotte Tilbury, Elizabeth Arden, NEST New York, eos, Illy, Michel Design Works, and Prestige Brands, with average customer tenures of approximately five years.

The company is differentiated from traditional freight brokers by its proprietary CyberChain™ technology suite, organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture. CyberTrax serves as the core Transportation Management System (TMS) providing real-time, SKU-level shipment visibility; surrounding modules include ASN Portal (electronic supplier bookings), Flashlight (business intelligence and KPI dashboards), POEM (Purchase Order Event Management), and CyberPOD (a mobile app for vendor partners with geofencing and photographic proof-of-delivery). The company positions itself as a 'tech-enabled forwarder' combining proprietary software with human logistics expertise under the 'Freight Architect' brand identity.

Jaguar's revenue model combines transaction-fee freight forwarding with managed-services revenue from customized, multi-year enterprise supply chain partnerships. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed rates; customer acquisition is via direct enterprise sales, content marketing (The Weekly Roar blog, case studies, Incoterms 2020 educational resource), and a 'Request a 30-min Demo' sales motion. The company is founder/management-owned (CEO Simon Kaye), bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and holds sector memberships including BIFA and NCBFAA.
