Can you expand a little on this? Maybe give an example of what kind of person finds value in your product? I gather you do something related to freight, but beyond that I can’t tell.
- leovander 7y agoThere's a lot of money to make for the freight forwarding companies. A lot of container owners charge you fully knowing that your product may get caught up in customs and they make their money on late fees. As a user of this product, I think you probably get better visibility of where your contents are in the overall process and access to customs agents, which that in itself would help cut your overall costs down if you know that your items were categorized correctly on your customs forms, preventing the above from happening.
