Fluent Cargo's growth is predicated on providing global freight services which organisations actually need, which is why we're extremely excited to introduce our latest feature: Market Index Pricing. This powerful new tool empowers you to make immediate, informed decisions about your shipping strategy by comparing your contract and spot rates against real-time market data.
Why we created it
The shipping world is full of uncertainties and disruptions. With no governing body to police prices, shippers, service providers, and carriers are subject to constantly changing market conditions. We developed Market Index Pricing to ensure our customers' rates are in line with market expectations, helping them navigate any uncertainty with confidence.
By understanding 30-day market trends, you can plan and execute shipments more strategically, reduce costs, and increase margins. Better yet, you can collaborate more effectively with supply chain partners by basing your discussions on solid and up-to-date market intelligence.
How it works
In today's volatile shipping landscape, you don't have to be at the mercy of constantly fluctuating prices. With Market Index Pricing, you can input your contract pricing and track it against live market rates, giving you the intelligence you need to act quickly and decisively. Unlike traditional rate tools that simply provide pricing information, our feature focuses on actionable insights that help you determine if you need to change your approach.
Multi-modal coverage
Comprehensive Global Insights
Whether you're shipping via ocean or air, our Market Index Pricing provides accurate benchmarks across all regions globally. Understand market index rates for different cargo types, including 20', 40', and LCL (kgs), with both long and short-term rate perspectives to suit your planning needs.
Seemless integration
Intelligence Without Extra Work
Market rates are automatically displayed alongside your route and schedule searches, ensuring planners get instant insights without any manual effort. This seamless integration means better decisions can be made on the spot, saving both time and resources.
You can also save and monitor up to 9 lanes automatically by choosing the rate cards important to you.
Data you can trust
Rigorous Standards for Accuracy
We understand that decisions are only as good as the data behind them. That's why Fluent Cargo maintains stringent data source minimums to ensure the integrity of our market indexes. High minimum data thresholds guarantee that the benchmarks you're using represent true market conditions.
