Do you get me an FMC or NVOCC license?

No. We publish the site. Licensing stays with you and the agency that issues it.

Can the site track containers?

Not inside the website package. A tracking tool is scoped.

Is a forwarder a carrier?

Sometimes a company is both. The site has to say which hat is on. We will not pick the hat for you.

Will you promise a transit time?

No. Transit belongs in the quote a person sends.

A website for a freight forwarder

A forwarder site should say which modes you sell and what you do not clear yourself. Motus builds that site and the company email. We do not file an FMC license, a customs broker license, or an NVOCC bond.

Mode by mode

Ocean, air, truck, or customs, only for the services you sell. If a licensed customs broker is a partner and not you, say partner. If you hold the license, you may print the number you give us. We will not guess which filings a forwarder must hold.

NVOCC is its own page because shippers search it separately. Use it if that is what you are. Do not wear the word as a synonym for forwarder.

Quotes and documents

A form for origin, destination, cargo, and ready date. quotes@ and docs@ on your domain so a bill-of-lading correction does not sit under a new quote. We do not operate the documentation system. That is software if you need one built.

No steamship or airline logo as an endorsement.

The commercial offer

Authority ($1,197) fits a forwarder with several modes to explain. Growth ($597) fits a specialist, one mode, one phone. Year-1 hosting is included, then $150 a year. You own the site.

Multi-mode forwarders usually buy Authority ($1,197). One mode can start at Growth ($597).

The package

Starter is $274, Growth is $597, and Authority is $1,197. Each price is one time. Year-1 hosting is included, then hosting is $150 a year. Company email on your domain is part of a transportation launch. A mailbox-provider seat fee and a registrar's domain fee are quoted before they start. The breakdown is on what a trucking website costs.
