Beacon is a digital global supply chain management solution, combining freight forwarding, finance, and powerful software & data. We create technology which delivers world class quality of service and makes our customer's global supply chains efficient, reliable and simple to operate.If you run a business today, the chances are you import or export goods globally using a ‘Freight Forwarder’ to organize everything for you – Freight Forwarders are the travel agents of the logistics industry. Instead of the process being as simple as booking a flight online, it is painfully slow, inefficiently and opaquely priced – and surprisingly analogue.
