Cogoport set to tap inbound shipments business from China

May 25, 2019: Digital freight logistics company Cogoport is responding to a huge demand for inbound shipment services, notably from China into India. It has expanded its services to include imports from Asia, starting with China.

Purnendu Shekhar, founder and CEO of Cogoport, says: "Our customers tell us that Cogoport is already saving them between 10-15 percent on their logistics costs and around 40 man hours per booking for export shipments. With the launch of this imports product, a natural second phase progression for our digital platform, we are meeting demand from importers who can now harness our technology for an efficient, cost-effective and transparent freight shipping process. With just a couple of clicks, importers can now benefit from an immediate choice of comparative prices from a range of premium shipping lines on our Cogoport platform, and at the same time be rewarded for being partners in this digital transformation."

The Indian company's customer base includes more than 10,000 shippers with import requirements. It will now offer competitive freight rates for bookings of import containers across major shipping lines.
