Xeneta has agreed a deal to acquire maritime and supply chain intelligence company eeSea, adding carrier schedule and performance data to its existing freight rate benchmarks.
The acquisition will see Oslo-headquartered Xeneta integrate eeSea’s global schedule, transit time and reliability data, aimed at allowing shippers to assess freight procurement decisions based on service quality as well as cost.
The company says the combined datasets should help to support customers in managing contracts, suppliers and delivery risks.
“Today marks a key milestone for Xeneta; coming together with eeSea, and combining our data and skills, furthers our shared mission to bring transparency and efficiency to how ocean freight is bought and sold,” said Patrik Berglund, Xeneta CEO.
“Our combined data sources and coverage will provide customers with more actionable intelligence to control freight spend, as well as delivery reliability.”
Founded in 2015 and based in Copenhagen, eeSea provides container shipping analytics covering real-time vessel tracking, reliability metrics, transit times, and trade lane capacity.
