In its efforts to modernize and stay relevant with the current and future trends, especially with IT, Freightmen was one of the pioneering agents who embarked with computerization. It has also established its communications systems through Electronic Mail (e-mail) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), linking to TradeNet, PortNet and the Cargo Community Network (CNN).

This investment in computerization and automation puts Freightmen among the forerunners, as one of the most technologically advanced freight forwarding agents in Singapore.

Freightmen is proud to boast of being the first agent in Singapore, to have successfully received invoices and made payments electronically. In other words, a totally paperless transaction through electronic transmission. This marked a new dimension to Singapore’s air cargo industry and the other parties who had made this possible were Singapore Airlines, the Deutsche Bank and the CCN. This process was subsequently enlarged and extended to all other Singapore Airlines’ appointed agents and it will appear that the entire industry (airlines and agents) will be heading in this direction.

As a local company in Singapore, Freightmen is ranked within the top 10 local forwarders. We are also recognised ranked within the top 40 against a total of some 230 local and international agencies in Singapore.
