Phaata International Logistics Marketplace

Phaata Co., Ltd. is a Ho Chi Minh City company, registered in October 2017, that runs Phaata.com, an online marketplace for international logistics in Vietnam. It addresses the difficulty importers and exporters face in finding, comparing and contacting freight forwarders, and the cost of customer acquisition for logistics firms.

Shippers search posted freight rates or send one quote request and receive several offers for sea freight, air freight, trucking, warehousing and other logistics services, then contact providers directly, close the deal and rate the service. Logistics companies, shipping lines and agents open a storefront, post rates and hot services, and buy Premium memberships for more visibility. The site also publishes a container freight index (VCFI) and weekly market updates, in Vietnamese and English.

• Quote requests: one request sent to many logistics providers, with offers compared side by side.
• Freight rate search: posted sea, air and trucking rates by route, container type and validity.
• Warehouse listings: warehouse space offers with location, area and rental price.
• Provider storefronts: logistics companies publish services, rates and hot deals.
• Premium membership: paid packages of 6 or 12 months for higher visibility, alongside free posting.
• Market data: VCFI container freight index and weekly international shipping market updates.

• A seafood or furniture exporter can collect several quotes for a 40-foot container to the US in one request.
• A small forwarder can open a storefront and post rates to reach new shippers without a large sales team.
• A manufacturer in an industrial park can find nearby warehouse space and trucking to Cat Lai port.

• Shippers send one request and receive several quotes, cutting the time spent calling forwarders.
• The site reports 100,000+ users per month, 30,000+ rate offers, 10,000+ quote requests and 1,300+ logistics companies.
• Logistics firms gain inbound leads; New SITC Container Lines Vietnam states it won over 100 new customers in 2024 through Phaata.
• Posted rates and the VCFI index make freight costs more transparent for buyers.

Vietnam's export-oriented manufacturing generates a large and fragmented demand for freight forwarding, served by thousands of small logistics companies. Buyers increasingly expect online rate comparison instead of phone and email quotes, while forwarders shift sales and marketing to digital channels.
