Container Import Automation

Real-time responses to all import requests—automated, transparent, and disruption-free.

Revolutionizing Importers Operations with Flowfox
A benchmark study conducted in July 2023 with 111 import managers from over 10 leading importers across Europe revealed significant challenges in ocean carriers' import operations.
