Dear Customers and Partners,

Happy New Year!

As we begin 2026, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the past year and share the direction we continue to follow at Okargo.

In a maritime market marked by price pressure, volume fluctuations, and continuous changes in carrier pricing structures, your trust allows us to focus on what matters most: delivering reliable and sustainable value, even in volatile conditions.

Throughout the year, we continued to reinforce the way ocean rate data is processed in Okargo. Whether through mass data transfers into your own systems, providing better control over your data, or self-upload of rate sheets, offering greater autonomy, our objective has remained clear:

to give our customers the ability to react immediately when market conditions change.

In 2025, we also significantly strengthened and consolidated our CargoWise connectivity, reinforcing Okargo’s integration within freight forwarders’ operational ecosystems.

In parallel, we expanded and enriched our carrier coverage with concrete technological achievements, including the creation of a new connection to ZIM’s new platform and the integration of Reefer rates for ONE.

A significant part of 2025 was also dedicated to maintaining and securing access to online carrier offers. As shipping lines continuously evolve their portals, security constraints, and technologies, our teams worked relentlessly to ensure continuity of access. This ongoing effort is critical to guarantee that what you rely on today will still be available tomorrow.

Beyond the product, 2025 marked an important step in how we support our customers. We strengthened our Customer Success organization to better assist users throughout their journey with Okargo — not only at onboarding, but continuously.

Our conviction is simple: A powerful tool only creates value when it is fully understood and effectively used.

Looking ahead to 2026, our trajectory remains deliberately focused.

We will continue to focus on the following priorities:

• Drastically improve the performance and reliability of rate processing, with artificial intelligence already tested on selected rate sheets, delivering measurable efficiency gains while preserving data accuracy

• Enhance access to and comparison of maritime offers across all container types, all commodities, and carrier-specific pricing structures, while maintaining strict standards on data quality and consistency

• Develop partnerships with Freight Management Software that value specialization and expertise. When these solutions choose Okargo, they combine the breadth of their functional coverage with the depth of Okargo’s specialization, delivering the best of both worlds to freight forwarders and end users

Okargo is, and will remain, the ocean rate specialist.
We have deliberately focused our technology on ocean rates, with the ambition of remaining the market reference over time.

As always, our progress is driven by the trust of our customers and the commitment of our teams. You are increasingly numerous to rely on Okargo for your maritime procurement challenges, and this responsibility pushes us to stay rigorous, transparent, and focused on adapting to the continuous digital evolution of carrier offers.

In 2026, our commitment remains simple and clear:

All your ocean rates. One system. One click.

On behalf of the entire Okargo team, I wish you a successful and prosperous 2026, and I look forward to continuing this journey together.

Julien Chapus
Founder and CEO, Okargo
