Flexport handles international shipping brilliantly, but connecting those shipments to actual customer orders and fulfillment requires manual coordination and guesswork.
Products on the water aren't available for sale, but many systems can't account for in-transit inventory. This leads to stockouts despite containers approaching port.
Managing freight forwarding, customs clearance, drayage, and final fulfillment through separate systems creates visibility gaps and operational inefficiencies.
