Hi Renske, forwarders your size usually run bookings and customs docs across a dozen email threads and a spreadsheet, which is fine until a container goes sideways at the port.

We built a forwarding platform that pulls quotes, bookings, customs paperwork and shipment tracking into one screen, so your team stops re-keying data and clients can self-serve a status check.

Worth a 20-minute demo this week mapped to one of your live lanes?

Built for how freight software developers grow

Freight software developers win by reaching the right people first, but manual prospecting is slow and the pricey tools you pay for hand you stale, bouncing lists.

LeadStal replaces that whole stack. Pull fresh, verified leads from LinkedIn and dozens of other sources for free, then launch AI-personalized campaigns from the same dashboard.

Every reply lands in one unified inbox, every lead is scored by Ghost Analytics, and your follow-ups run automatically, so you spend your time closing, not chasing.

  • Free access to 50M+ verified leads
  • AI-personalized emails that get replies
  • Automatic follow-ups and warm-up built in
  • Every reply in one Unibox, never missed
We were burning the marketing budget on logistics trade shows and getting a handful of soft leads for it. Now I pull operations directors at mid-size forwarders and customs brokers straight off LinkedIn, the AI opens with the exact lane or border crossing they handle, and the reply rate is nothing like our old cold list. We booked nine qualified demos in our first month and closed two annual contracts.
