Xeneta

What Xeneta is

Xeneta is a web-based freight market intelligence platform for ocean and air shipping. It benchmarks contracted and spot rates by lane from shipper and forwarder data, helping users examine market trends and service reliability. Procurement teams can upload bid sheets to the Tender Benchmark Tool and compare quotes across hundreds or thousands of lanes. Xeneta reports more than 700 million real-time ocean freight rates covering over 170,000 port-to-port pairs. It forecasts contracted rates up to three months ahead, spot rates ten days ahead, and market outlooks up to six months ahead on key trades. Ocean benchmarks require at least five rates per route, per day, and equipment type; listed port-to-port costs exclude inland haulage and documentation fees. Contributed data is anonymized and aggregated, without company-specific rates or supplier names disclosed. Plans include benchmarking, predictive outlooks, reliability insights, and tender tools with different row limits. Pricing is on request. Xeneta was founded in Oslo in 2012 and supports real-time location, API access, and ocean and air transport modes.
