The result? More margin to invest in product innovation and consumer engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

what are FMCGs and how are they shipped?
FMCGs (fast‑moving consumer goods) are everyday, low‑cost products—think packaged foods, toiletries and beverages—that sell quickly and move in high volume. They’re shipped by ocean (FCL/LCL) for cost efficiency, air for urgent or high‑value replenishment, and intermodal/road for port‑to‑DC and last‑mile deliveries, with reefers for perishables. Logistics priorities are speed, tight replenishment cycles, cost control and strict retailer compliance, supported by rate benchmarking, automated RFQs and real‑time visibility to avoid stockouts.
How does Freightos Enterprise support FMCG shipping and logistics?
Freightos Enterprise combines real‑time market intelligence (Terminal), automated tendering (Procure), and instant booking/operations (Rate, Book & Manage) so you can protect shelf presence and margins. Get daily rate benchmarks, automated RFQs, and end‑to‑end visibility to speed decisions and shorten procurement cycles.

Yes. Freightos Enterprise provides daily spot and contract coverage for ocean and air with lane‑level granularity, indices (FBX/FAX), and route benchmarking, helping you keep up-to-date on pricing for your fast moving consumer goods shipments.
How do you help FMCG teams anticipate disruptions and price moves?
