Smart Calculator Logic
Advanced technology and intelligent algorithms ensure accurate pricing
-
01
Smart Port Selection
Our advanced geocoding system automatically identifies the latitude and longitude coordinates of your pickup and delivery addresses. It then calculates the straight-line distance to all available ports in both origin and destination countries, intelligently selecting the nearest ports to optimize your shipping route and minimize inland transportation costs.

02
Precise Trucking Calculation
Utilizing the OSRM (Open Source Routing Machine) routing engine, we calculate the actual driving distance from your pickup address to the origin port, and from the destination port to your delivery address. This ensures accurate trucking costs based on real road networks, traffic patterns, and the most efficient routes available.

03
Real-Time Ocean Freight
Based on the selected origin and destination ports, our system queries our comprehensive database containing up-to-date ocean freight rates from multiple carriers. The calculation factors in container type, cargo volume, and current market conditions to provide you with competitive and transparent pricing.
