BuyCo for Importers:
Gain Control, Cut Costs, and Streamline Container Shipping
Managing import shipments shouldn’t feel like a daily firefight. BuyCo empowers import teams to take full control of their inbound container operations bringing structure, speed, and savings to your supply chain.
Collaborate Smarter Across Your Supply Chain
BuyCo brings every shipment stakeholder into one platform (your suppliers, freight forwarders, customs brokers, and truckers) to eliminate the chaos of email and spreadsheets.
- Simplify customs clearance by gathering invoices, BLs, certificates and other documents in one shared workspace
- Digitize and centralize haulage to reduce back-and-forth with truckers and improve inland coordination
- Turn PDFs into action: BuyCo extracts data from supplier documents like booking confirmations and BLs to create structured, sharable container shipment records for your team and partners
Reduce Costs You Shouldn’t Be Paying
Importing shouldn’t come with avoidable costs. BuyCo helps you avoid:
- Demurrage & detention fees thanks to real-time visibility and alerts
- Customs delays and broker costs with structured, error-free shipment data
- Inventory bloat by tightening control over arrival schedules and shipment priorities
See Everything, In Real Time
BuyCo gives your import team complete visibility from origin to your warehouse:
- Accurate ETAs at the time of booking, updated automatically with our multi-source tracking engine
- Best-in-class tracking via ocean and inland data providers like FourKites and Shippeo
- SKU-level visibility to connect materials in transit to stock and purchasing decisions. No more chasing ETAs by email. No more disconnected spreadsheets. Just clarity, all in one place.
Save Days of Inventory. Save Millions.
With better control over ETAs and transit times, importers can dramatically reduce safety stock.
Here’s the math:
If your company buys $500M of materials annually, every day of inventory is worth $1.3M. BuyCo enables you to reduce stock by 1-2 days or more, translating into millions in working capital savings.
Turn Your Inbound Shipping
into a Competitive Advantage
BuyCo helps importers transform container shipping from a manual, reactive process into a collaborative, visible, and cost-efficient operation.
