Make "Looking for a Shipping Agent" as Simple as "Shopping at Taobao"!

For many shipowners, finding a "desirable shipping agent" is a hassle. If you don't have fixed cooperative shipping agents, if you can't find a suitable shipping agent in time, it may affect your orders and costs worth tens of millions.

It may be not a difficulty to find a shipping agent at ports you often go to, but how about at ports you are not familiar with and where you have no trustable shipping agents?

Refer to Search Engines?

Typing “shipping agent” and clicking “enter” is easy to operate. However, choose the suitable agent is a time-consuming and daunting process. Your concerns may still remain:

        Is the agency formal?

        How is the quality of service?

        Will the service fee be marked up indiscriminately?

        Is it still in operation?

        .....

        These information are difficult to verify.

Even if you find a few agents and acquire their quotations, "Email+jet lag" makes it impossible to select the most favourable one as soon as possible.

All in all, search engines can only help you search shipping agents, but they cannot help you locate the reliable and suitable one. It is time-consuming to inquire prices and obtain the exact port regulations.

Refer to Human Resources?

There is always inconvenience in seeking help from friends in the same industry. In the Internet age, people are often reluctant to bother others, preferring to seek help from platforms and networks rather than owe some "debt of gratitude". As an old saying goes, “Talking about money hurts feelings” .

Besides, on the premise of ensuring efficiency and quality of service, many "introduced" shipping agents cannot meet the needs and interests of shipowners. The time cost of communication cannot be estimated, which also directly affects the money cost.

Can finding a shipping agent be as simple as shopping in Taobao?

The greatness of Alibaba lies in that it has changed the way Chinese people shop and pay. Alibaba has created a trade platform and a credit system, changing the lifestyle and promoting the consumption.

In the shipping industry, we can also sell "services" on a platform and rate the service quality.

Advantage 2: Serving as a Bridge Linked Shipowners and Shipping Agents

The most common problem in shipping industry is that shipping agents and shipowners are mostly isolated. Therefore, shipowners cannot keep abreast of the latest information on ports, ships, goods, prices, policies, etc., which is related to orders worth tens of millions of dollars.

If you choose a shipping agent through E-PORTS platform, the agent will be urged to update the service process in time. You can monitor the whole process by streamlined and paperless workflow. We strive to protect the rights and interests of both parties and ensure that every business is carried out safely.

Advantage 3: Improving the Ecology of Shipping Industry

Due to the isolation of shipowners and shipping agents, it is most likely to form involution among enterprises in the same field.

Some shipowners have broken through technology barriers to keep up with the Internet era and enjoy the "dividends" it brings. But if you still follows the old methods and ideas, you consume time and personnel resources without outputs and progress. A boat sailing against the current must forge ahead or it will be driven back.
