Carrier Allocation: Smart Ocean Forecasting

Carrier Allocation: Smart Ocean Forecasting

• Tweet

Carrier Allocation forecasts, plans, and connects shippers and forwarders with their ocean carriers to determine the most optimal flow of products. Our tech-enabled, managed solution revolutionizes supply chains by driving efficiency, accuracy, and control into global ocean transportation.

Backed by Expeditors' technology and global network*, Carrier Allocation is designed to empower customers to:

• Optimize freight spend.
• Improve shipper lead-time precision.
• Expand metrics for carrier commitments.
• Develop process enhancements.

Carrier Allocation is built for shippers of all sizes. The platform enables our customers to proactively create optimized and executable shipping plans, as well as direct orders or particular order types to specific carriers and vessel strings. Whether you manage your ocean network based on purchase orders or known weekly volumes, you can secure capacity upstream of sailings to ensure your goods arrive where they need to be when they need to be there.

Carrier Allocation works with direct ocean carriers (BCOs) and non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCCs). You secure commitments from your carriers for forecasted capacity and target freight spend based on contracted trade lanes and contracted prices.

Carrier Allocation makes securing the correct capacity simple.
