Optimising Efficiency with SeaRates Logistics Map Tool

Logistics Map offers comprehensive data on all shipping requests made through SeaRates.com, allowing you to promote your logistics services for sea, air, and land transportation seamlessly in one place, including your warehousing requirements. This week we spotlight how it works, step-by-step, as well as discuss how it can support users to enhance their services.

How It Works for Freight Forwarders and Carriers

The Logistics Map tool offers freight forwarders, airlines, and transport operators access to accurate data from a multitude of global shipping requests. Our global shipping map features a user-friendly interface which provides a clear geographical view of cargo locations worldwide.

Accessing Requests:

• Enter departure and arrival points to view all freight requisitions along a specific route.
• For instance, if you offer competitive rates from Norway to the UK, you can select this route to find multiple orders from shippers, optimizing your cargo loads.

Enhancing Efficiency:

• If you have an order from Voglans, France, to Melbourne, Australia, you can easily find additional orders for the same route.
• View detailed order information, including creation date, readiness, and cargo type, and access the best route module on the world map.
• Contact our support team via chat with your service offer for a shipper’s request.

Visualise cargo locations globally and click on numbers to view more cargo details. Select requests from the list or shipping map for comprehensive information, create individual requests or contact SeaRates to offer your rates.
