The Haven Platform enables shippers to easily search, compare,
and reserve slots across 10 of the world's leading ocean carriers
at more than 1500 ports. Capacity partners such as Kestrel use
Haven's technology to reach new customers and to streamline their
operations.
"The addition of Kestrel's services provides our customers with
streamlined access to Caribbean trade," said
Matthew Tillman, Haven CEO. "We're excited to
participate in a pioneering technology platform to introduce new
customers to Kestrel's differentiated services," says Kestrel Liner
Agencies West Coast GM Mark Davidian.
Traditional spot rate negotiation between carriers and shippers
often involves an extended chain of phone calls, faxes, and emails.
Haven 's online marketplace streamlines these workflows by
connecting shippers with carriers on a truly neutral platform.
Kestrel and other carriers utilize the Platform to serve customers
more efficiently, and to monetize excess capacity. This facilitates
a more efficient booking process and more nimble supply chain for
both parties.
