About this event
From instant online quotes to transparent shipment updates, forwarders are innovating the customer experience to meet rising shipper expectations. This theme explores how digital customer portals, self-service booking, and AI-driven support can improve responsiveness and build client loyalty in the freight forwarding business.
Why it matters now:
Shippers now expect Amazon-like speed and visibility in B2B shipping. That means not only getting an instant rate but also having full visibility across the shipment lifecycle, proactive updates during exceptions, and fast, accurate billing.
At the same time, new AI tools (like chatbots and virtual assistants) are being deployed to provide 24/7 service – instantly answering queries and even fixing issues before they escalate.
What to expect?
What shippers really expect: Shippers expect faster, more transparent on both cost and shipment milestones, self-service logistics experiences.
Where freight forwarders win or lose CX: The role of instant quoting, and 24/7 shipment updates.
Challenges freight forwarders face in delivering Amazon-like service.
Tech enablers of great CX: chatbots, customer portals, integrated communications.
