A smarter way to engage in trade
Reliable information on estimated and actual milestones for your shipments can be hard to come by, and not having the right documents in the hands of the right participants can stop a shipment in its tracks. TradeLens offers a consistent and holistic view of reliable shipment event data and corresponding documents — all delivered directly from participating sources. It’s a single source of truth shared by — and with — permissioned supply chain partners for collective success.
