Pricing

A license for the platform. A license for what you add.

You license the core — the part every operator uses — and then only the modules you actually need. Nothing is charged per user, and the parts you do not switch on cost nothing. One price for the platform, and you add to it only when you choose to.

How it is priced

Three parts, and the ones you do not switch on are zero.

Core

$500 a month, including 500 shipments

The whole working platform: shipments, checkpoints, parties and their access, documents, purchase orders, approvals, alerts, the audit trail and the dashboard — and with them chain of custody, compliance, import and tracking. This is a complete system on its own, and most operators never need anything else.

Core license
$500 a month, including 500 shipments each month
Included with it
Custody, compliance, import and tracking — four capabilities this category usually sells separately
Above the allowance
Nothing per shipment. Volume decides which band you are on, not what a month costs
Tracked devices
50 included on this band, and more included on the larger ones (250, 1,000 and 4,000). Above a band's allowance, each device is $4 a month, the same on every band
Support
Email, answered within one business day, included

Modules

Licensed individually, per month

Five verticals you add to a working core, not four capabilities held back from it. You hold what you use; a module you drop stops being charged from the next statement, and your data stays where it is. Most operators run the core plus one or two of these — almost nobody holds all five.

Warehouse
$400 / month — Facilities, locations and handling units, stock, reservations, transfers between sites
Manufacturing
$400 / month — Works orders, routings, operator certifications, evidence and the customer portal
Fleet & maintenance
$250 / month — Assets, service schedules, work orders and completion evidence
Finance
$150 / month — Your own cost figures, measured against what the platform observed
Agency
$200 / month — For forwarders: act for your clients, with their records staying theirs
Anchoring
Not yet available — see below
Bands

The band is the price. Nothing runs on top of it

Shipment volume decides which band you are on — it does not add anything to the month. There is no per-shipment charge above an allowance; the one metered line is tracked devices above the band's allowance, so you can forecast the invoice from the number of trackers you run. Outgrow a band and we agree the next one at renewal.

Banded rather than per seat, because the cost should follow the freight and not the headcount — and because a platform you are already paying thousands a month for should not also be counting your shipments back to you.

Core license
$500 a month, up to 500 shipments
Growth
$1,500 a month, up to 2,500 shipments
Scale
$4,000 a month, up to 10,000 shipments
Enterprise
$10,000 a month, up to 40,000 shipments
Support
Standard support on every band. The Enterprise band includes Priority: critical issues answered within four business hours, a named contact, and help with your security review. Service levels

Anchoring is not yet available

Anchoring will commit a fingerprint of a record to a public chain, so a third party can verify its integrity without taking our word for it. It is not switched on for any deployment yet, and nothing is charged for it. Tell us if you need it and we will tell you when it can be.

Everything else runs with no blockchain at all, including on a site with no internet connection. A custody handover is proposed by one person and approved by a second, and both are named on the record. If nobody has asked you to prove a record to an outside party, you do not need anchoring.

What is not metered

Worth stating plainly, because per-seat and per-integration charges are where this category usually hides its real cost.

01

Users

Add everyone who touches a consignment — your team, your carriers, your customers' receiving desks. Group them by site, give them the parts of the product they need, and add as many as you like. A record with half the participants missing is not a record.

02

Getting your data in

Spreadsheet upload and imports from the system you run today are part of the core license, and nothing is charged per row, per file or per connection. Charging by the volume of your own data would be charging you to start.

03

Documents and checkpoints

Attach what travels with the goods and post events as often as they happen. The shipment is the unit, not the activity on it. Cloud accounts carry a storage allowance; on your own hardware, the disk is yours.

Running it somewhere of your own

The license above does not change. A single-tenant or on-premises deployment adds a delivery charge on top of it, and nothing else about the pricing moves — the same bands, the same modules, the same allowances.

A dedicated instance, run by us

Your own stack in the region you need it, provisioned and installed remotely. Not shared with any other customer, with its own database, credentials, backups and upgrade window. From $900 a month per instance, plus $3,500 to stand it up. Infrastructure is included. What you are buying is a single-tenant deployment in your jurisdiction, operated — the machine is the cheapest part of it.

On your own hardware, including air-gapped

The same license, inside your estate. A connected install reaches out only through features you switch on, such as carrier tracking or your own mail server; an air-gapped one has no connection out at all. An air-gapped installation runs the core and whatever modules you hold, updates from a signed release bundle you copy in, and keeps all of its data on your own disk. Commissioning is set by band, from $12,000; support is 20% of the annual license (minimum $6,000 a year) or 28% for Priority (minimum $15,000). Contracted annually, from the Growth band, with a minimum of $25,000 a year.

Two things we would rather say here than in a meeting. Anchoring, once available, will need a network, so an air-gapped site will not be able to use it — everything else runs without one. And tracked devices are not charged per device on your own hardware, because your machine is doing the ingest, not ours; device scale is agreed as part of the license instead.

Not sure what you would actually need?

The demo gives you your own workspace with sample data for one operating model, and keeps it for 24 hours, so you can try the product before working out which parts of it you would buy.

Before a purchase decision: frequently asked questions · what it costs, next year and to leave

There is no free tier and no self sign-up — our team sets up every workspace. Card customers get access when the payment goes through; invoice customers when the invoice is issued. Annual terms are ten months' price, paid up front, and prepaid terms are non-refundable.
