About Fr8Labs

Empowering Freight Forwarders into the Digital Age

Built alongside freight forwarders, not for them.

Freight forwarders are the connective tissue of global trade. Yet most still run their businesses on emails, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools — a patchwork that turns every shipment into an exercise in manual coordination.

Fr8Labs is a modern operating system for global mid-market freight forwarders, built for forwarders in all forms, shapes, and sizes — from lean teams of five to multi-country networks. Scale no longer has to mean hiring. Speed no longer has to cost accuracy.

We set out to build it because we've been the ones running operations. Our founders came out of supply chain technology and digital commerce, and we spent years watching forwarders manage complex businesses on software that treated them as an afterthought — not because they lacked ambition, but because the tools available to them were not good enough.

Every feature in Fr8Labs exists because a forwarder told us something was not working. Our CRM was built after watching sales teams manage deals in WhatsApp. DocuSense was built after ops teams retyped the same arrival notice ten times a week. BorderOne was built because customs data entry was costing forwarders full-time staff they couldn't spare. The platform grows with every company that uses it — our users are our innovation partners.

Backed by leading venture capital firms and a global network of angel investors and advisors across freight, logistics, and technology.
