What is Xeneta?
Xeneta offers a comprehensive freight market intelligence platform that transforms how global freight procurement and management decisions are made. The platform aggregates and analyzes over 700 million ocean and air freight rates from thousands of global shippers and forwarders, providing granular lane-level benchmarks that enable teams to validate rates against actual market data rather than relying on estimates or carrier-provided information.
The system utilizes AI agents to monitor market conditions and automatically alert users when specific trades fall outside established market norms, enabling proactive decision-making. Beyond rate benchmarking, Xeneta provides carrier performance validation through AIS vessel tracking and structural schedule analysis, measuring reliability rates, blank sailings, transit time accuracy, and port call consistency to ensure procurement awards contracts that operations can successfully execute.
