Why does good data matter?

Your decisions are only as strong as the data behind them.

In a volatile market, teams still rely on manually pieced-together spreadsheets to guide pricing, performance, and supplier decisions, often leading to costly outcomes and fragile supply chains.

Accurate, independent data isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s essential.

Rate data sourced from real contracts

We collect actual contracted rates from our community of the worlds largest shippers, freight forwarders, and arilines. This includes:

Shipper contracts

Freight forwarder agreements

Long-term and short-term rates

Port-to-port, airport-to-airport, and lane-level detail

Vessel movement and performance data

To complement rate data, we integrate operational data, from credible sources, such as:

AIS vessel tracking

Published carrier schedules

Actual transit time and service performance records

Reported capacity and utilization data

Verified airway bills

Verified and normalized at scale

Complete anonymity and neutrality — Company-specific rates, supplier names, and ownership influence are never disclosed; we’re independently owned and funded.

Truly neutral data sourcing — We do not source data from carriers or logistics providers, ensuring our benchmarks remain completely independent and unbiased.

Enterprise-grade security — Protected by ISO 27001:2022–certified information and data security.

"Xeneta is more advanced than any other benchmarking software we have used. At the same time, its sophisticated design offers a user-friendly system. It would have been impossible to benchmark and manage our ocean freight spend and finally understand market directions without the Xeneta platform."
