Problem
Managing import and export processes involves scattered information across emails, phone calls, papers, and various digital files, leading to inefficiencies and difficulties in tracking shipments. Verifying cost appropriateness for each shipment and understanding vessel status can be time-consuming and challenging, while dependence on specific staff members creates operational bottlenecks.

The platform provides real-time vessel tracking on a map, milestone indications, and alerts for potential delays, ensuring up-to-date visibility of shipment status. Shippio also facilitates transparent fee management with instant quote simulations and cloud-based invoice management, while enabling smooth communication through a chat function for each shipment. By centralizing all trade-related information and communication, Shippio reduces man-hours, improves cost control, and mitigates risks associated with decentralized data management.
