SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Haven expands online platform for freight to include air cargo procurement with the top 10 global providers across 3500 airports.

Following a successful pilot of air cargo services, Haven has extended its marketplace model to provide a comprehensive logistics solution to shippers of all sizes. Small and midsize shippers often find it difficult to book air freight, particularly in periods of peak demand. Capacity providers typically give preference to larger shippers because the overhead of managing customer accounts makes it difficult for them to serve lower volume clientele. Haven's Platform is designed to meet the needs of both sides of the market: it provides shippers of all sizes with access to top-tier providers, and reduces the overhead required for a capacity provider to serve a customer.

"Air cargo is a critical part of logistics for many of our customers, particularly during peak season," said Matthew Tillman, Haven CEO. "By working with Haven, pilot program customers successfully shipped thousands of kilos in product around the world. Today's release marks the next phase of Haven's commitment to provide shippers with a truly end-to-end freight procurement platform."

The addition of air freight complements Haven's existing ocean freight capabilities, enabling a global customer base of shippers to easily procure capacity with more than 30 of the world's leading providers at over 4500 destinations.
