The global ocean freight industry — responsible for moving over 90% of the world’s trade — remains one of the most complex and outdated sectors of commerce. Decades of manual coordination, fragmented systems, and markup-driven pricing have kept supply chains slow and expensive.
Gateway, a U.S.–based ocean freight technology company, is taking a different approach. Gateway combines automation, artificial intelligence, and wholesale pricing control to simplify global shipping while making it dramatically more cost-efficient.
A New Era of Ocean Freight Technology
Gateway integrates everything it takes to move freight across the ocean — customs compliance, e-filing, documentation, rate management, port coordination, and live container tracking — into a single, intelligent platform. What once took weeks of manual work can now be executed in minutes, driven by automation, data, and smart decision systems.
The company’s platform is designed not just for visibility, but for total process control. Users can generate quotes, secure bookings, file compliance documents, and manage entire shipping operations through one seamless interface — a complete digital ecosystem built around efficiency, accuracy, and transparency.
The Power of the Wholesale Model
What truly separates Gateway from digital freight forwarders and TMS providers is its business model. Gateway buys container space wholesale directly from global ocean carriers and sells it retail or slightly below market, powered by automation that controls margin and optimizes volume.
This structure gives Gateway full control over pricing and capacity — allowing it to offer freight rates up to 60% below industry averages while maintaining healthy margins. The technology remains free for customers, creating a self-sustaining loop where automation fuels scale, and scale drives cost advantage.
In addition to container transactions, Gateway monetizes supporting layers of the supply chain — including document and filing automation and customs brokerage referrals — turning what were once friction points into integrated revenue channels. The result is a system that merges technology, trade, and margin efficiency into one scalable platform.
Automation Meets Global Scale
Gateway’s expansion strategy focuses on activating higher-tier carrier partnerships and scaling its automation infrastructure to handle growing container volumes across major trade lanes. With wholesale contracts secured from leading shipping lines, the company is positioned to control both cost and capacity at a level typically reserved for top-tier forwarders and carriers.
The broader impact is significant: shippers and importers can save $200 to $500 per container, while gaining full automation, transparency, and regulatory compliance. By integrating data intelligence into each stage of shipment, Gateway ensures both cost reduction and better operational performance for clients worldwide.
A Future-Driven Vision for Global Trade
Gateway Lines represents the convergence of logistics infrastructure and technology. Its combination of automation, data insight, and wholesale control allows global freight to move faster, cheaper, and more predictably — without sacrificing reliability or compliance.
As international trade faces increasing demand for efficiency, transparency, and sustainability, Gateway is building the foundation for what comes next: a fully connected, automated, and cost-controlled ocean freight network.
