How it works

From request to booking in three steps

1

Supplier posts an RFQ

Route, cargo, dimensions, weight and preferences — captured once in a guided form. CBM is calculated for you.

2

Matched providers bid privately

Matching UAE forwarders are notified instantly. Each submits a sealed bid with a full charge breakdown — nobody sees competitors' prices.

3

Compare, award and book

Compare totals, transit times and terms side by side. Award a provider and follow the booking through delivery.

Marketplace rules that keep bidding honest

Verified providers only

Every forwarder is screened for a valid UAE trade license before they can bid on your cargo.

Sealed, private bidding

Providers never see each other's prices or identities — you get genuine competition, not price signalling.

Contact details protected

Your direct contact information stays masked until you award the shipment to a winner.
