Freight rates change by the hour. CloudDesk’s Rate-Sense Engine aggregates data from over 50 global shipping lines and airlines to give you a "Spot Quote" that is guaranteed for 48 hours, protecting you from sudden "Peak Season Surcharges" (PSS).
Are you wasting money onLess-than-Container Load (LCL) when you have enough volume for a Full Container Load (FCL)? CloudDesk’s Volume Optimizer analyzes your packing list and suggests the most cost-effective container type (20ft, 40ft, or HC), often saving exporters up to 15% on freight costs.
"Where is my container?" is a question of the past. CloudDesk provides Milestone Integrated Logistics (MIL) tracking. You get automated alerts when your cargo is: Picked up - Gate-in at Port - Loaded on Vessel - Transshipment - Arrival at Destination Port.
Should you sell on FOB, CIF, or DDP? Most exporters get stuck with "Demurrage" because they chose the wrong Incoterm. CloudDesk consults on the bestlegal-logistical framework to ensure your liability ends exactly where it should, and your costs are predictable.
Use Air Freight if: (1) Your cargo is high-value and low-volume (e.g., electronics, pharma), (2) The shelf life is short (e.g., horticulture), or (3) The "Stock-out" cost is higher than the freight premium. For everything else, Sea Freight is 80% cheaper but takes 4–6 weeks longer.
" • FCL (Full Container Load): You rent the entire container. It's faster and has a lower risk of damage. • LCL (Less-than-Container Load): Your cargo shares a container with other exporters. It’s cheaper for small shipments but involves ""Stuffing"" and ""De-stuffing"" delays at the warehouse."
"These are international rules that define who pays for what. • FOB (Free on Board): You pay until the goods are on the ship. • CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight): You pay for everything until the destination port. • DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): You pay for everything, including the buyer's import taxes."
"• Demurrage: The penalty you pay to the Port for keeping your container inside the terminal for too long. • Detention: The penalty you pay to the Shipping Line for keeping their container outside the port for too long. CloudDesk’s Buffer-Management helps you avoid these by pre-clearing all paperwork."
Yes. Every port has Terminal Handling Charges (THC), documentation fees, and CFS charges. CloudDesk provides an All-In Quote so you aren't surprised by a $500 bill at the destination port.
"• Pre-paid: You pay the forwarder in India. • Collect: Your buyer pays the forwarder in their country. Note: Some countries and commodities do not allow 'Freight Collect'—CloudDesk checks these regulations for you."
The BL is the "Title to the Goods." Whoever holds the original BL owns the cargo. CloudDesk manages the HBL (House Bill of Lading) and MBL (Master Bill of Lading) reconciliation to ensure your payment is secure before you release the documents.
Absolutely. Standard carrier liability is very limited (often based on weight, not value). For a fraction of the cargo cost, CloudDesk provides All-Risk Marine Insurance to cover theft, damage, or loss at sea.
