Introducing the Cogoport Partner Program

The world of shipping changed forever during the pandemic. Over the last year or so, we’ve seen power being concentrated in the hands of larger forwarders and shipping lines. There is price uncertainty, and even after, it’s been difficult to procure space on a vessel.

Needless to say, this change has affected a lot of our partners and smaller businesses. A lot of freight forwarding agents and customs house agents have borne the brunt of the macro-economic changes we’ve all witnessed in the last few months. Keeping our partners, small businesses and agents in mind, we have launched the Cogoport Partner Program. 

The Cogoport Partner Program

What is the Partner Program?

Through the Cogoport partner program, you can book shipments online on behalf of your customers. No need to call up 8 different freight providers for rates. Get access to special rates on the Cogoport website. Add your own margin, and share rates with customers directly. The best part - once the shipment has been booked, our experts will make sure it is executed to perfection. You don't need to call 15 different people. We will handle the co-ordination between trucker, shipper, shipping line, customs agents, CFS provider, Haulage companies and more.

What Regions Are Supported?

The Cogoport Partner program gives small businesses and agents access to Cogoport’s vast supply network. With a focus on catering to the Far East and US region to begin with. The countries covered under this program are as follows:

1. China
2. Thailand
3. Japan
4. South Korea
5. Vietnam
6. Malysia

“The partner program has been developed keeping small businesses and agents in mind. They have suffered a lot over the last 1 year. We want to make the resources of a large organisation available to these agents and forwarders. We hope this helps them grow their business”, said Purnendu Shekhar, the founder of Cogoport.
