“It's a different world now with transparency in a historically opaque market"

Here we are again! Back for another week of industry insights, brought straight to your inbox without all of the typical fluff.

This week, I spoke with Peter Sand, Chief Analyst at Xeneta, who shared his insights on the importance of freight visibility and how it has evolved over recent years. Peter’s 15 years of experience in maritime reveals how data transparency is transforming logistics decision-making, particularly as supply chains face unprecedented disruptions and volatility.

Xeneta’s freight intelligence platform compiles ocean and air shipping rates across global trade routes. This software enables logistical experts to examine current market conditions, compare carrier offerings, and assess historical rate patterns. With data spanning over 230,000 trade lanes, their platform is integral for organisations to evaluate their freight prices against market standards.
