Barchart, a leading provider of data, tools, and software to agribusinesses around the world, has announced a partnership with Freightos, the global freight booking platform, to compare quotes across air, ocean and trucking.

Under this new data distribution partnership, Freightos will join Barchart’s Commodity Pricing Network (CPN), making the Freightos Baltic Index, the world’s only daily and benchmark-approved international container freight index, available to users over cmdtyView Pro, cmdtyView Excel, as well as through an API subscription or Enterprise Data Service.

“We are excited to partner with Freightos, a leading provider of market rates and pricing for freight, to diversify our pricing network and bring their transportation data to users through cmdtyView,” says Barchart CEO Mark Haraburda.  “Freightos streamlines the booking and shipping of international freight helping importers and exporters make critical business decisions.  We look forward to growing our partnership with Freightos to improve the workflow of logistics teams around the world.”

“Over the past two years, the importance of global supply chains have been underscored again and again, following a massive increase in demand. This is accompanied by severe volatility that impacts multinational organizations, small businesses and consumers alike,” said Anton Bar, VP Market Data at Freightos. “We’re excited to partner with Barchart to enable more companies to make better data-driven decisions about their global supply chains and planning.”

Freightos.com is the largest digital freight marketplace, connecting logistics providers and importers/exporters for instant pricing, booking, and shipment management.

Freightos Data publishes the Freightos Baltic Index (FBX), the industry’s key daily benchmark of container shipping prices, as well as other data products which improve supply chain decision making, planning, and pricing transparency. Founded by serial entrepreneur Zvi Schreiber in 2012, the Freightos Group is a widely recognized LogTech (logistics technology) leader with a worldwide presence and a broad customer network. Freightos has raised $120 million from leading venture funds and strategic investors.
