**The mission and vision**
Look around you. >90% of the things you see have been in a shipping container
at some point. Surprisingly, while being a 500+ billion-dollar industry, 80%
of the market is still dominated by small and medium-sized freight forwarders.
They mostly organize shipments via countless back and forth in email. AGX
helps these forwarders take a step forward and digitalize themselves to
compete with emerging digital and global players. We provide them with the
digital toolset to keep their backs free so they can focus on their superior
operational service offering.
We do this by building a communication and collaboration platform that slashes
unnecessary emails and double data entry by connecting relevant data sources
and providing a common work interface. Our vision is to standardize
information exchange in international logistics like the container did for
shipping – if successful, this will also boost global GDP.
We are a team uniting decades of experience in SME-, and digital forwarding,
tech, and consulting. We are based in Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore, well-
financed by industry experts, and are due to launch our core product in Q1 22.
We are building state-of-the-art products that customers love. Our team
focuses on listening, speaking up to improve the status quo, and making
everyone on this journey with us realise their full potential.
