04 / FLOW

One product's journey.

Out of one country and into another, each leg has a different owner.

  1. Brand or importerDrafts trade documents, joins an origin forwarder's run directly, and chooses whether the cargo goes to the warehouse or direct to the buyer.
  2. Origin forwarderApproves requests from brands and importers and handles pickup, receiving, loading, and shipment. A customs broker files the export declaration, and the forwarder records the result.
  3. Destination forwarderRecords the arrival notice, clears customs with a broker, and sends cargo to the warehouse through a carrier. Direct-to-buyer cargo goes straight to the final delivery address. Cargo a buyer (importer) imports directly is handled by the destination forwarder that importer nominated.
  4. WarehouseOnly units the warehouse counts become stock, and products consigned for sale go on the B2B catalog after review.
  5. BuyersRetailers and wholesale buyers buy through the B2B catalog.
  6. End customerBuys in a store or an online shop. Orders from brands' own stores connected to LogisticOS ship from the warehouse straight to the customer.

Every leg leaves a record. Each role picks up from the record the last one left, and forwarders record what customs brokers and carriers report.

05 / PRICING

Skip the quote.Join a forwarder's run directly.

LogisticOS does not quote freight. Origin forwarders post a rate on each run, and shippers compare runs and join one directly. You pay each cost below to a different party.

01

Freight: the forwarder's run rate

Origin forwarders post a per-pallet or per-CBM rate and expected destination charges on each run. Final freight is based on measured volume; the origin forwarder invoices the origin leg, the destination forwarder invoices destination charges, and you pay each forwarder directly by bank transfer. Once you join a run, you can open both forwarders' price lists. LogisticOS is not a party to the freight contract.

02

Warehouse: pay for what you use

The warehouse bills receiving and outbound per job and storage monthly, based on its rate card. You receive an invoice and pay it by bank transfer.

03

Platform: a LogisticOS plan

You don't need a plan or a card to sign up or apply for Trade Pass, and your workspace and AI agent team are set up at sign-up. Trade features open with Trade Pass approval plus a LogisticOS plan; see the Pricing page for plans.

Frequently asked questions

What is LogisticOS?

LogisticOS is a light operating system for selling, shipping, and storing goods across borders. Turn on the services you need, and the forwarders and warehouses you work with share the same shipment record. Every business gets an AI agent team that helps with the work.

How do I get started?

Sign up with LogisticOS, apply for Trade Pass with your business type, and start a plan once you are approved. Your shipments, documents, and costs are then tracked on the logistics board, and the forwarders and their customs brokers handle the filings.

I have never shipped abroad. Where do I start?

Sign up, apply for Trade Pass with your business type, and start a plan once you are approved. Then join a shipment run opened by a forwarder: each step tells you what is needed, and customs on both ends is handled by the forwarders and their customs brokers. Cargo sent to a LogisticOS warehouse is received, stored, and shipped there.

What does the AI agent actually do?

Write to it like you would to a person. It finds products, answers questions, and drafts emails, documents, and listings. Sending, publishing, and data changes run only after you approve, and filings such as transport bookings and customs declarations stay with people.

How much does it cost?

You don't need a plan or a card to sign up or apply for Trade Pass. Trade features open with Trade Pass approval plus a LogisticOS plan; see the Pricing page for workspace and agent plans. Freight is billed per leg by the origin and destination forwarders, and you pay each of them directly; the LogisticOS warehouse bills for what you use, from its rate card.
