For this reason, we have signed an agreement with SHIPCO to offer their LCL buying rates online through FreightViewer and we are in the process of negotiating the same with WEBCARGONET which will enable us to upload and update more than 14 million buying airfreight rates to FreightViewer. Our partnership with Onus Cargo Services (an insurance broker offering rates from different insurance companies) will allow you to insure your cargo directly through FreightViewer, thus making the process even easier.
