The platform
Everything a network should have done ten years ago
Most agent networks stop at a directory and a yearly conference. Gateway runs the whole trade relationship, from first enquiry to signed shipment.
Air cargo requests
Origin to destination, general or hazardous, piece count, dimensions, net and gross weight, with chargeable weight calculated automatically at IATA 1:6000.
Sea cargo requests
LCL or FCL, container size, commodity, IMO class, stuffing location and readiness date, plus live CBM calculation for consolidated cargo.
Live chat and groups
Private messaging, trade-lane group discussions and activity feeds. The social layer your team already knows how to use, built for freight.
Events and conferences
Regional summits and the annual Gateway conference, with ticketing, delegate lists and a pre-booked meeting calendar before you land.
One-to-one meeting scheduler
B2B matchmaking with timezone-aware slots, agenda notes and video links. Book a partner in Singapore from your desk in Hamburg.
Verification and protection
KYC, trade references and credit screening on every applicant, with an optional payment-protection programme covering agent defaults.

What partners say after their first year
Rated 5 out of 5
We joined for the directory and stayed for the request board. Three of our five biggest ocean accounts started as a posted enquiry we answered within the hour.

Director, Meridian Freight, Dhaka
Rated 5 out of 5
The vetting is the product. Knowing the agent on the other end has passed credit screening changed how quickly we release cargo on open account.

Head of Ops, Andes Cargo, Santos
Rated 5 out of 5
We had 31 pre-booked meetings before we even boarded the flight to the summit. No other network we belong to comes close on scheduling.

Before you apply
Everything members ask us in the first conversation. Still unsure? The network team answers within one business day.
