Freightos is a marketplace where brokers bid on your shipment, each adding their own margin. Gateway is the licensed NVOCC at the source. Book directly with the entity that holds the carrier contracts and skip the middleman layer entirely.
Marketplaces add a layer between you and the carrier. Gateway removes it.
Direct NVOCC contracts with the steamship lines mean Gateway accesses the same wholesale rates that the brokers on Freightos do, without a second margin stacked on top.
A marketplace assigns a different forwarder to each lane. Gateway is one accountable team across booking, customs, tracking, drayage, and billing for every shipment you book.
Cancellation policy, claims process, customer support hours, and customs handling are the same on every booking, not whichever the winning bidder happens to offer.
Freightos is a marketplace where multiple forwarders bid on your shipment. Each forwarder adds their own margin on top of the carrier rate, and the marketplace adds a transaction layer. Gateway is the licensed NVOCC with direct carrier contracts, so you book one relationship at wholesale rates without the marketplace markup.
Yes. The Gateway calculator returns an instant ML-priced quote that you can compare against any carrier portal or competing forwarder quote. The difference is that Gateway shows one rate from the entity that actually moves the goods, instead of multiple rates from brokers competing on margin.
You get a single accountable team for every shipment instead of a different forwarder per booking. Gateway handles quote, booking, customs, tracking, and drayage in one platform with one customer success contact. Marketplace shipments often involve coordinating across multiple forwarders mid-shipment when something goes wrong.
Wholesale NVOCC rates typically run 25 to 40 percent below broker-marked rates on the same lane. Run a Gateway calculator quote and compare it to your last Freightos booking on the same lane and HS class to see the delta.
No. Gateway accepts one container or a thousand. Single LCL, full FCL, project cargo, and consolidated containers are all booked through the same platform.
