DigiFreight

DigiFreight is a digital networking group for the freight forwarding industry, registered in the United Kingdom. It connects more than 650 members in over 95 countries. Members can find partners, book meetings and share news through its website.

The network is open to new and established independent freight forwarders. For start-ups, it offers an affordable, digital way to meet trusted partners from day one. For established forwarders, it gives a simple way to strengthen current ties and find new business. Membership costs 300 pounds a year.

The core tool is a virtual meeting platform. When an urgent shipment or a new project comes up, a member can book a meeting with a global partner. The system adjusts for time zones. It links to Teams, Zoom, Google Meet or WhatsApp. Each company controls its own schedule, so it can take one-to-one calls at any time.

Members also use a Member Centre, where they can see who is available at events and ask for a quick meeting. A Meeting Hub works as a calendar that tracks all meetings in one place. It can show times in other time zones when members travel.

DigiFreight runs Virtual Meeting Weeks. These events bring the whole membership together online for several days. Members meet many possible partners from their desks and build new business.

A free News Stand lets members share company news. Each article appears on the member profile page and on LinkedIn. It also goes into an eMagazine and to a press list. The company says this public relations service is included in the fee.

The DigiFreight team runs several other established networks. It says it aims to build one of the strongest networks in the world, with virtual events as a main feature. Support staff come from transport and media backgrounds.
