Problem
Freight forwarder operators spend up to 90% of their day on repetitive, manual tasks that do not require experienced judgment, such as reading long email threads, preparing quotes, and cross-checking documents. Mid-market forwarders face hundreds of human errors per month that require correction, leading to added costs and missed opportunities when critical shipment updates arrive buried in lengthy emails.
Solution
Rumbo provides an AI-powered operating system for modern freight forwarders that manages the full lifecycle of shipping operations. The platform reads inboxes, builds quotations, drafts client emails, tracks cargo, and issues reviewed documentation—letting the team make decisions while Rumbo executes. Its AI agents automatically generate quotes in about one minute, down from one to two hours of manual work, and flag critical updates such as ETA changes that would otherwise be buried in multi-paragraph emails. Operators see a prioritized daily view of what needs attention, with booking values and client names front and center, while document review tools automatically verify shipment details against packing lists.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mid-market freight forwarding companies whose operators currently spend most of their day on repetitive manual communication and documentation tasks, as well as forwarders needing to scale operations without growing headcount.
