Introduction
Take a look at the success story of HIS, a prominent rapidly expanding freight forwarder, which decided to invest in technological innovation and greater intelligence for its areas using MSAI, the first index focused on the Latin American region, developed by Cheap2Ship.
About the Company
HIS International Logistics is a completely Brazilian company, founded in 1999, with the intention of not being a simple NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier), but rather an extension of our clients’ logistics department. We work with a focus on developing partnerships, always aiming to offer quality service with impactful logistic solutions for their businesses.
A new tool to boost commercial and operational intelligence
Lucas is a part of the commercial team at HIS Logistics, a freight forwarder based in São Paulo that is rapidly expanding. That’s when he came across the freight intelligence tool developed by Cheap2Ship – MSAI (Market Sense AI).
MSAI is the first freight index focused on the Latin American region – with it, companies can gain visibility into how international maritime freight rates are fluctuating for various origin and destination routes.
Through the tool, Lucas saw an opportunity to implement innovation in his company, bringing more technology and data to the commercial and operational teams.
Results with MSAI
- Greater visibility into the average costs of international maritime freight for the main routes where HIS Logistics operates
- Pricing teams have more data to track whether the rates offered by carriers were in line with the overall market for them
- Commercial teams can more efficiently serve their clients, bringing more data and information regarding maritime freight costs
The tool is excellent for pricing matters in cargo agency, to analyze how the market is doing, the rates currently being worked on, and also to have access and compare with what was worked on months ago, also being able to quickly analyze route options on the same screen, seeing which ports are the best within the client’s possibilities to work with and thus having more thorough analyses with clients. So, it’s an incredible tool that can be used by both the commercial and pricing teams of companies.
