Our take
Logistics is developing into a paperless digitised industry. The market is expected to grow during the next few years, with digitisation continuing to be one of the key drivers supporting growth by reducing manual processes. Digital freight forwarding carries major benefits, including instant quotes, transparent pricing, comparison of rates and carriers, tracking, easy documentation and more.
Forto is a provider of digitised freight forwarding and supply chain solutions, offering a single platform for managing the journey of a shipping container from origin to destination - a task long-handled with pen, paper and post-it notes. With supply chains strained by shifting consumption patterns and a steep economic recovery, Forto's freight management system can be key for clients to maximise visibility and flexibility of shipments, empowering customers with clearer insights.
Forto's larger clients include online furniture retailer Home 24 and German supermarket chain Edeka. The company's 2022 funding was invested in international expansion, whilst a partnership with climate action tech startup Cozero cemented Forto's ambitions to reduce its carbon footprint across its operations.
