Find the forwarders to call, at the right time.
Oxpium builds the list of freight forwarders and customs brokers in your area, finds the owner or the ops manager, tells you when one of them has a reason to buy, and runs the campaign.

The forwarders around your port, your airport, your lanes.
A Houston forwarder moving ocean containers to Latin America and an air freight shop next to O'Hare don't buy the same things. Tell the agent the area, the mode, the trade lanes: it searches public sources, business listings, job postings and forwarder websites, and removes the duplicates.

212 forwarders and customs brokers, 131 of them on the ship channel side.
Around a port or an airport
Houston, Long Beach, Savannah, Newark or O'Hare: the agent covers the area around the gateway and hands you one list with no duplicates.
A mode
Ocean, air, trucking or all three: the agent reads each forwarder's website and notes the modes it actually sells to its customers.
Trade lanes
Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, Europe: it keeps only the forwarders that put those lanes front and center on their own website.
A profile
Hiring entry writers, running several branches, 10 to 100 employees: criteria you combine in the same sentence, the way you'd say it.
The owner, the ops manager, and what each forwarder actually does.
At a small forwarder, the owner decides everything. Once there are a few branches, trucking is bought by operations and software by the front office. The agent fills in the columns your campaign needs, row by row, and reads each website: modes, customs, branches. Every email is verified before it's added.

- Looking for cell phones
203 owners found, 178 verified emails, 74 cell phones.
The owner
Their name, with their email and cell when there is one: at a twenty-person forwarder, the owner is the one who signs off on everything.
The ops manager
If you sell trucking or drayage, the agent looks up the ops manager or trucking coordinator by job title: the person who books the trucks.
Customs and licenses
The agent reads the website and notes whether the forwarder clears customs itself, and whether it says it's a licensed broker or an NVOCC.
The branches
How many branches and in which cities, read from the website, so you know if you're talking to a family shop or a national network.
Automations that watch for you, and tell you which forwarder to call.
Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps going without you. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list: a new posting for an entry writer, a role that won't fill, a branch opening near an airport, a new trade lane. Those are your signals, and they show up on their own.

Hiring
Every morning, an automation flags the forwarders that post an opening for an entry writer, a coordinator or an ops manager, with the role.
Roles that won't fill
Every month, the forwarders whose posting has been up for more than 30 days move to the top: a licensed broker role that just isn't filling.
New branches
Every week, the agent rereads the websites and flags the forwarder opening a branch near an airport or a new bonded warehouse.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like new trade lanes listed on websites: the agent reruns it on schedule and tells you what changed.
A campaign that speaks forwarding.
Mornings go to arrivals, entries and releases; Fridays go to closing files before the week's cutoffs. The campaign writes and calls midweek, in the afternoon, from your own mailbox and your browser, and stops as soon as someone replies.
Subject Your containers out of city
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Outside arrivals and cutoffs
Nothing goes out in the morning, while entries and releases are being worked, or on Friday, when the team closes files before cutoffs.
Calls from the browser
You call from your browser. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized right in the list, on the forwarder's own row.
Follow-ups on their lanes
An agent step rereads the forwarder's website, its lanes and its branches, and writes a follow-up that starts from its freight, not yours.
Stops on reply
As soon as a forwarder replies, the campaign stops for them. You take it from there, and the next follow-up never lands in their inbox.
Frequently asked questions
Write “freight forwarders and customs brokers around the Port of Houston”. The agent searches public sources and business listings around the port, reads each website to note the modes on offer, and removes duplicates. You get the list with each forwarder's city, modes, phone and website in a few minutes.
Ask the agent for the ops manager or trucking coordinator at each forwarder. It looks them up by job title in professional databases and verifies their email. Small shops don't have one: the column then shows the owner, who books the trucks themselves.
Tell the agent once: “every Monday, reread each forwarder's website and flag the ones announcing a new branch or bonded warehouse”. The automation compares with the week before, and the ones expanding land at the top of your list with a “New site” badge and the city.
An email to the ops manager on a Tuesday afternoon, a call two days later, an agent step that rereads the forwarder's website and lanes, then a follow-up in the same thread. Nothing goes out in the morning or on Friday. Emails leave from your own mailbox, calls from your browser are recorded, transcribed and summarized, and the sequence stops as soon as a forwarder replies.
For 250 forwarders with their website read, 210 verified emails for owners or ops managers and about 90 cell phones, count around €55 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges €1,000 to €1,500 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
Public sources often file them under the same activity. The agent reads each website and notes what the company actually does: arranging freight, clearing customs, operating as an NVOCC, consolidating, air freight. You keep the ones that match your offer and drop, for example, the ones that only clear customs.
