Reselling freight rates and advertising for DFA Members

Digital Freight Alliance Membership implies the benefits of SeaRates' arsenal of logistics solutions. How does the DFA global freight forwarding community meet the demand for wider coverage of their services and promotion of shipping rates to a larger audience of shippers on popular and unique routes? 

Depending on the Membership Tier, freight forwarders and other logistics providers can utilize DFA's partnership network and the SeaRates freight calculator functionality - the Logistics Explorer tool.

 

Standard Membership opportunities

 

 

Access to the web integration of the Logistics Explorer tool on SeaRates.com is one of the benefits of the Standard Tier. By complementing the website with the SeaRates Logistics Explorer widget, shipping lines, freight forwarders, or carriers provide a scope of opportunities for their audience. Shippers find the best freight rates on the market for global destinations by entering their individual transportation needs, cargo uniqueness, and other requirements. After such an advanced search for shipping rates right on your website, the shippers can compare the results and book freight rates instantly through SeaRates' wide functionality.

International shipping rates to any destination are clearly defined by cost. This way, your users can choose the additional services they need, as well as include carbon footprint compensation in the total shipping cost.

Additionally, Standard Tier access to the Members Directory also allows you to find partners with similar membership parameters. Thereby, an integrated logistics network is formed, which facilitates the development of trade relations.

 

Premium Membership opportunities

 

With the Premium Tier, freight forwarders use the Logistics Explorer white-label widget, which is a unique tool for their website. In this case, you customize the layout and details such as buttons, and much more to fit your own brand.

The Premium Membership Tier also contributes to the growth of your customer and partner networks. You get full access to shippers' requests from all over the world submitted to SeaRates.com. This allows you to select customers to complement your shipments on specific routes and interact with a wider audience.

Thereby, freight forwarders who are DFA Premium Members can upload their freight rates to the SeaRates marketplace, thus receiving additional bookings. Thousands of visitors to SeaRates.com will see your shipping rates advertised on a daily basis. 

Moreover, as a DFA Premium Member, you are connected to a chat room for quick cooperation with other Premium Members. Thus, finding partners to resell their freight rates or promote yours and arranging joint freight agreements becomes much easier.
