Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
OAuth2 with scopes provides reasonable security foundation. GDPR compliance documented. Sandbox requires commercial agreement, limiting easy security testing.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
An agent needs to automate international freight procurement — comparing rates across forwarders and booking FCL/LCL/air cargo without manual quoting.
Avoid When
Your shipments are parcel-sized or you need domestic last-mile delivery capabilities.
Use Cases
- • Instant freight rate comparison across carriers and forwarders
- • Automated freight booking for international shipments
- • Shipment tracking across ocean and air freight modes
- • Quote generation for supply chain procurement workflows
- • Freight spend analytics and carrier performance tracking
Not For
- • Parcel or small package shipping
- • Last-mile delivery management
- • Domestic ground-only shipments under 150 lbs
Interface
Authentication
OAuth2 client credentials for platform integrations. API keys available for simpler integrations. Scopes cover rates, booking, and tracking separately.
Pricing
Pricing model depends on partnership type — platform integrators typically pay per booking or revenue share. Direct API access requires commercial agreement.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Rate quotes expire quickly (often 15-30 minutes) — agents must book promptly after quoting
- ⚠ Freight rates depend on commodity type, HS codes, and hazmat status — missing data causes silent failures
- ⚠ Origin/destination must use LOCODE format, not free-text addresses
- ⚠ Carrier availability varies significantly by trade lane — 'no results' is a valid API response
- ⚠ Booking confirmation is async — agents must poll or use webhooks for final status
- ⚠ Commercial agreement with Freightos required before sandbox access is granted
