Stop quoting freight.
Start knowing the
true cost.
Fregix connects you to hundreds of live freight agents, compares their real rates including hidden local charges and negotiates the best total price on your behalf. In seconds.
The problem
Freight is broken in three painful ways.
Every freight forwarder faces the same daily frustrations. Fregix was built to eliminate all three.
Quotes take days
You email 8 agents. You wait 24 to 48 hours. Half don't respond. By the time you have a rate, the cargo is already delayed.
Hidden local charges
Agents quote low headline rates to win business, then hit you with terminal fees, DO charges, and surcharges at destination. The real cost appears only when it's too late.
No way to compare
Even when you get quotes back, they're in different formats, covering different services, with different fine print. Comparing them is a manual nightmare.
How it works
From shipment request to booked rate in under 60 seconds.
Fregix runs a live auction across its agent network, extracts every cost component, and hands you one transparent, negotiated price.
Enter your shipment
Origin, destination, cargo type, weight, and timeline. Takes 30 seconds.
Agents compete live
Hundreds of vetted freight agents submit real-time rates including all local charges.
AI negotiates for you
Fregix's AI identifies the best total cost and negotiates directly with the winning agent.
You book with confidence
One clean price. No surprises at destination. Full shipment tracking included.
The local charges problem
The quote you see isn't the bill you pay.
Local charges terminal fees, delivery orders, port surcharges, drayage can add 30 to 60% on top of the ocean rate. And most agents hide them until your cargo is already at port.
Fregix requires every agent on our network to declare all local charges upfront. You always see the true landed cost before you commit.
Who it's for
Built for every side of the freight equation.

The opportunity
A $200B market running on emails and spreadsheets.
Global freight forwarding generates over $200 billion in annual revenue. The vast majority of it is quoted and managed manually especially on emerging market corridors where agent networks dominate and software penetration is near zero.
Fregix is building the pricing transparency layer that this industry has never had. Starting with South Asia and the Middle East corridors underserved by Western logistics platforms and expanding globally.

Frequently asked questions
The questions freight forwarders ask us most, from how Fregix connects to your inbox to pricing and security. Still not sure? Talk to our team.
-
Fregix is an AI platform that automates freight forwarding operations directly inside a forwarder's existing email inbox. When a client inquiry arrives, Fregix reads it, contacts the forwarder's entire overseas agent network at the same moment, compares every rate that comes back, and produces a branded quotation in under 60 seconds with no manual work from the pricing team. Fregix is built by Binary AI Solutions (Pvt) Ltd and is used by freight forwarders in Pakistan and the Gulf.
-
Fregix connects to your existing email using IMAP/SMTP for standard email accounts, or the Microsoft Graph API if your company runs Microsoft 365. Your email address, your domain and your signature stay exactly as they are. Every message Fregix sends goes out from your own address, so your agents and clients see your company rather than a third party tool.
-
Yes. Fregix is an AI freight forwarding automation platform built in Pakistan, for the way Pakistani freight forwarders actually operate. Most global freight software assumes you already run an enterprise transport management system and that your rates sit in a structured database. Pakistani forwarders do not work that way. Rates live with your overseas agents and arrive by email and WhatsApp. Fregix was designed around that reality from the first day.
-
Customers report roughly doubling the number of inquiries their team can process, and a matching increase in the shipments they manage each month, without hiring additional pricing staff. The reason is simple. The real constraint on most forwarding businesses is how many inquiries one pricing executive can physically work through in a day. Fregix removes that ceiling.
-
Most freight platforms are rate databases or transport management systems. They can quote quickly, but only from rates already loaded into their system, and they require you to migrate onto their platform first. Fregix works the opposite way. It goes out and collects live rates from your own overseas agent network by email, then quotes from those. For forwarders whose pricing comes from agent relationships rather than carrier contracts, that is the difference between a tool that works and one that has nothing to draw on.
-
Fregix was founded by Dr. Arbab Alamgir, who holds a PhD in Microelectronics and Computer Systems and has more than 12 years of AI research behind him. He also grew up inside a freight forwarding business, which means Fregix was built by someone who watched pricing teams manually email agents for years before he had the technical means to automate it. That combination of lived freight forwarding experience and deep AI expertise is rare in this industry, and it is the reason Fregix solves the problem forwarders actually have rather than the one a software company imagines they have.
-
Fregix runs on a simple monthly subscription with a one time onboarding fee, and it is priced well below the international freight software platforms Pakistani forwarders are usually quoted. Because Fregix is built in Pakistan for this market, the pricing is set against what a local SME forwarder can actually afford rather than against enterprise Western budgets. Contact the Fregix team for a quote based on your inquiry volume and the size of your agent network.
-
No. Fregix costs a fraction of what international freight platforms charge, and it does not carry the licensing, implementation and consultant costs that come with enterprise systems. Those platforms are priced for global forwarders with dedicated IT budgets. Fregix is priced for the Pakistani and Gulf SME forwarder, which is exactly who it was built for.
-
Because Fregix is not a self service tool that you sign up for and then work out alone. Onboarding covers connecting Fregix securely to your actual email infrastructure, mapping your agent network, configuring your margin rules and matching your quotation branding and format. This is hands on engineering work on your specific setup, and it is the reason Fregix works properly from the first week rather than needing months of tuning.
-
For most SME forwarders a single additional shipment won per month more than covers the subscription. Set the cost against one pricing executive's salary and the comparison is not close, because Fregix costs a fraction of one hire while roughly doubling how many inquiries your existing team can process. The forwarders who gain the most are precisely the small and mid sized ones who cannot afford to add headcount every time inquiry volume rises.
-
No. Fregix operates on monthly rolling contracts with no long term commitment. If it stops delivering value you stop paying. We would rather earn the renewal every month than hold anyone inside an annual agreement.
-
Most forwarders are live within days rather than months, because there is nothing to migrate. Onboarding connects Fregix to your existing inbox, maps your agent network and configures your margin rules and quote format. Your team keeps working exactly as they did the week before, and the difference they notice is that the agent emails and rate comparisons have already been done for them.
-
Fregix connects to your inbox through standard authenticated protocols, either IMAP/SMTP or the Microsoft Graph API, which are the same mechanisms used by every enterprise email tool your business already trusts. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and infrastructure runs on AWS, the same cloud platform used by banks and global logistics companies. Your rates, your agent relationships and your client list remain yours alone.
-
No, and this is the question we are asked most often. Every Fregix customer runs in a logically isolated environment. Your agent list, your buying rates, your margins and your client names are never pooled, aggregated, benchmarked or shared with any other forwarder using Fregix, including forwarders in your own city working the same lanes. Your agent network is the most valuable asset your business owns, and Fregix is built on the principle that it stays entirely yours.
-
For Microsoft 365 clients, no password is ever shared with Fregix. Access is granted through Microsoft's own OAuth consent framework, which issues a revocable token rather than exposing credentials. For standard IMAP/SMTP accounts, connection credentials are stored encrypted and are used solely to send and receive on your behalf. Wherever your provider supports application specific passwords or OAuth, we configure that during onboarding rather than using your main account password.
-
Fregix staff do not browse your mailbox. When you raise a support issue, our team works with you online, and your own staff open the relevant message on their screen while we walk through it together. That means you decide what is shown, you are present for the whole session, and nothing is reviewed without a member of your team in the room. Support is something we do alongside you rather than something that happens quietly inside your inbox.
-
Yes, immediately and without contacting us. Microsoft 365 customers can revoke Fregix's access at any time from their own Microsoft admin console, and the connection stops the moment they do. IMAP customers can revoke access by changing the connection credentials. You are never in a position where a vendor holds access you cannot withdraw yourself.
-
Your data is yours and it leaves with you. On cancellation you can request an export of your records, and Fregix will delete your data from its systems on request within an agreed period. There is no arrangement where your quotation history or agent information is held hostage to keep you subscribed. Fregix runs on monthly rolling contracts precisely because we would rather earn the renewal.
-
Quotation automation is what is live today, and it is where forwarders feel the pain most immediately. Fregix is being built as a complete operating layer for freight forwarding. Shipment and booking coordination is in development now, with finance and invoicing, documentation and a WhatsApp client communication layer planned to follow.
-
Quotation automation is what is live today, and operations and accounting are in active development as the next stages of the platform. The Fregix vision is straightforward. Every repetitive manual task in a freight forwarding business, from booking coordination and document collection through to invoicing and profitability, should be automated so that your team's time goes into moving more shipments rather than into paperwork. Fregix is building toward that layer by layer, and each stage is developed with input from customers already running the platform.
-
The operations stage automates everything that happens after a quote is accepted. That includes sending the booking confirmation to the shipper, managing the conversation between shipper, consignee and agent from one automated thread, requesting shipment documents such as the packing list, commercial invoice and bill of lading, and pushing status updates and delay alerts to every party at each milestone. The aim is that a shipment moves from booking to delivery without your operations team having to chase anyone by hand.
-
The finance stage generates the client invoice automatically from the shipment record the moment a shipment closes, calculates the agent payable from the booking rates and shows the profit on that shipment the same day rather than at month end. It is being built to handle multiple currencies across the Pakistan, China, UAE, UK and USA corridors, to track outstanding invoices with automatic reminders, and to export cleanly into the accounting software you already use.
-
Yes. WhatsApp is on the Fregix roadmap and is a priority for the Pakistan market specifically. In Pakistan and the Gulf, clients ask for shipment updates on WhatsApp far more often than by email. The planned WhatsApp layer will use the official WhatsApp Business API to send booking confirmations, milestone updates and documents to clients automatically, and to answer client status queries instantly. It is not live yet.
-
Customs documentation and compliance are part of the Fregix roadmap and are not available yet. The planned direction covers document checklists by origin, destination and cargo type, draft bill of lading generation from the shipment record and validation of commercial invoices before submission. We would rather tell you plainly what is live today than sell a roadmap as a finished product.
