Global Container Import Automation –
Zero Emails, Zero Delays, Full Transparency

Flowfox is a platform that connects ocean carriers and importers to fix global container imports.

Why we need to fix container imports

Overloaded Communication

Every day, teams at ocean carriers and importers exchange thousands of emails to coordinate container releases, drop-off assignments, invoices, references, and authorizations. This outdated approach slows down operations, adds unnecessary workload, and increases the risk of costly errors.

Resulting Operational Issues

12% of all import containers face delays, disputes over dem/det invoices, claims over wasted journeys, and contribute to unnecessary millions of tons of CO2 emissions—resulting directly from these manual, email-based processes.

Automate container imports
with Flowfox

Creating a unified global standard

Cut delays, errors and disputes. Automate everything from release requests to drop-off assignments and reuse.

Automation at Every Step
Flowfox eliminates the need for manual email coordination by fully automating container release, drop-off depot assignments, and container reuse processes.
Real-Time Responses
All importer requests will be replied to in real-time, allowing ocean carriers to provide service quality promises never before possible.
Global Standardization
Flowfox integrates seamlessly with local security protocols like CPU, SCR or Secure Chain to create a standardized, reliable process across carriers and countries, removing regional inconsistencies.
“Flowfox is a no-brainer for ocean carriers and importers. Automating imports, from container releases to drop-off assignments, has never been this easy or impactful. It saves around $20 per container, eliminates delays and disputes, and significantly boosts customer satisfaction.”
Dr. Ralf Belusa Former CDO at Hapag-Lloyd

How Flowfox Works

Flowfox integrates directly with ocean carriers’ systems, applying standardized business logic to create a unified, transparent import process globally. This eliminates inconsistencies, delays, and manual errors, providing real-time responses and visibility.
