Retail and apparel freight, built for seasonal swings.
Direct contracts with every major carrier, peak-season space agreements, and live container visibility so your buyers never wait for store-floor inventory.
Lanes we run for retail & apparel
Shanghai to Los Angeles in 18 days. Direct contracts on the corridors your cargo actually moves on.
Built for retail & apparel
FCL, LCL, and air for seasonal peaks.
Peak-season capacity
Locked-in space during Back-to-School, Black Friday, and holiday runs so your SKUs land on the shelf, not stuck in China.
SKU-level visibility
Tag each container with product SKUs and PO numbers. Merchandisers and buyers see exactly what is inbound without calling the warehouse.
Consolidation hubs
LCL consolidation from multiple suppliers into single containers to origin ports. Saves freight cost and simplifies customs.
Air for emergencies
Same-week air charter when sell-throughs spike. Hand-off from the same platform you booked ocean on.
The difference on your freight
You see every SKU
Live SafeCube tracking by container, matched against your POs. No guessing when that sweater collection lands.
Peak space is reserved
Direct carrier contracts mean you get allocation, not the leftover space Flexport and Kuehne+Nagel get rolled out of.
One invoice, one team
Ocean, air, drayage, customs, and insurance in one platform. Not five vendors, five invoices, and five points of blame.
“Gateway is the only forwarder where our buyers and warehouse team see the same thing at the same time.
