Air Freight procurement is complex

Lack of Transparency

Without a clear view of the market, decisions are made in the dark.

  • Can’t benchmark against market rates

  • Relying on inconsistent supplier inputs

  • Hard to align with finance or defend decisions

Inefficient Tender Process

Manual processes waste time and miss the market.

  • Static spreadsheets and slow RFQs

  • Hard to compare bids across lanes and terms

  • Tenders often outdated before they go live

Constantly Moving Market

Air freight moves daily. Your strategy needs to keep up.

  • Rates shift faster than internal processes

  • Volatility leads to bad deals and missed savings

  • Forecasts break down under market pressure

But it doesn’t need to be

Xeneta Air provides a complete, unparalleled view of the air freight market.

More than just Benchmarking
