Become a FreighAI partner
This page is for people who can bring FreighAI to freight forwarders. You may advise them, sell to them, build software they use, or run the body they belong to.
A partnership here is a working agreement, not a badge. You bring the introduction or the connection. We do the demo, the scoping and the support. What each side earns is written down first.
Pick the one that sounds like you
Each kind works a different way. Read the three lines under each one. Then tell us which fits, and we will take it from there.
Referral partner
- Who it suits
- Freight consultants, advisers and industry people who know forwarders well.
- What they do
- You introduce a forwarder to us. That is all you do. We take the call, run the demo, scope the work and support the customer.
- What they get
- Commission on each introduction, agreed in writing before anything starts. Your introduction is recorded and protected while the deal runs.
Implementation partner
- Who it suits
- Logistics firms and IT firms who already sell software to forwarders in their region.
- What they do
- You sell FreighAI to your own clients and set it up for them. You keep at least one trained person on your team. We train them and stand behind you.
- What they get
- Margin on what you sell, agreed in writing before anything starts. Product training, and our help on any deal you ask us into.
Technology partner
- Who it suits
- TMS, ERP, accounting and customs software, where a connector makes both products better.
- What they do
- We build a connector between your product and ours. Your shared customer stops typing the same thing into two systems.
- What they get
- A joint page on our site once the connector is live. Connectors are scoped during implementation and charged for. Nothing is promised before it is scoped.
Association and network partner
- Who it suits
- WCA, FIATA and NAFL chapters, and other trade bodies with forwarder members.
- What they do
- You open the door to your members. We teach. Nobody is sold to in the room, and nobody has to buy anything.
- What they get
- Every FreighAI Playground programme runs free for your members. You choose the dates and the format.
One live customer, with real numbers
A partner needs something true to say. This is it. These are one forwarder's results, not an average across everybody.
The same six things, whichever kind you are
These are not perks. They are the parts of the deal that make your side of it work.
A named person, not a form
You get one person at FreighAI to talk to. You do not chase a shared inbox, and you do not start again with a new face each time.
Deal registration
We write down every introduction you make, with the date. That record protects it while the deal is live. Nobody else can claim it.
The Playground, free
Every Playground programme is free for your people and for your clients. Nothing in it sells FreighAI, so you can send anyone.
Training and the checklist
We train you on the product. You also get the twelve question vendor checklist we teach forwarders, so you can help a client judge any vendor fairly.
Terms in writing first
Money is agreed in writing before anything starts. That goes both ways. No handshake deals, and no new rules halfway through.
A joint page for connectors
Technology partners get a page on our site about the two products together, once the connector is live and working.
Four things, and they are small
Short list, on purpose. A partnership that needs a rulebook was never going to work.
One named contact
Give us one person we can call and write to. That is how things get done quickly. A shared address slows both sides down.
Warm introductions, not lists
Introduce people you really know. A list of email addresses helps nobody, and it wastes your name as much as our time.
Say when we are the wrong answer
Tell us when FreighAI does not fit your client. We will tell you the same, plainly, rather than take a deal that will not last.
One trained person
If you set FreighAI up for clients, keep at least one trained person on your team. We train them. Keeping them current is on you.
From your first note to your first deal
Four steps. Nothing is signed until both sides know what they are signing.
You write in
Use the form at the foot of this page. Tell us who you are, where you work, and how you meet forwarders.
A short call about fit
We talk about which kind of partner you are, the market you work in, and whether there is real business here for both sides.
Terms agreed in writing
We put down what each side does and what each side earns. That is signed before any work or any introduction happens.
Your first step
A referral or association partner makes a first introduction. A technology partner starts a connector, scoped with us first.
The five we are asked most
What commission do you pay?
There is no published rate. It depends on the kind of partner, the size of the deal and who does the work. We agree it in writing with you before anything starts, and it does not change once the deal is live.
Is there a fee to join?
There is no published fee and no package to buy. Every money question runs the same way in both directions: it is agreed in writing before anything starts.
Do I need technical people?
Only if you set FreighAI up for clients. A referral partner needs none at all. You make the introduction and we do the technical work.
What if my client already runs a TMS?
That is common, and it is not a problem. Keep your TMS for the records. FreighAI runs the work around them. Your client can keep the system they have and add FreighAI around it, or move on from it later.
How long before I can sell?
We do not set a fixed date, and we will not promise you one. Training starts once terms are signed. The first piece of work at a client is scoped with their team, so the date comes from that.
Tell us who you are
Say which kind of partner you are and how you meet forwarders. A named person writes back within 24 hours. You can also email us at hello@freigh.ai.
