Move the world's freight, intelligently.
The freight forwarder built on large language models. Tide optimizes every route and load, clears customs, and tracks your cargo in real time, all on one platform from origin to final mile.
Moving freight with the carriers you already know.
Freight forwarding, rebuilt around AI.
Every forwarder moves boxes. Tide puts large language models to work on the decisions that set your cost and speed: how each shipment routes, how every container is packed, and how fast the paperwork clears.
Models weigh price, transit, capacity, and risk across every lane.
Every load planned and consolidated, so you pay for space, not air.
Quotes, documents, and customs filings drafted in seconds.

What does a freight forwarder actually do?
We do not own the ships or planes. We architect the fastest, most cost-effective path for your cargo across every mode, clear customs, and keep you informed the whole way, so you can focus on your business instead of logistics.
Which shipping modes do you cover?
Ocean (FCL and LCL), air, and ground (FTL, LTL, and drayage), plus customs brokerage, warehousing, and managed multimodal programs.
How do I track my shipments?
Every shipment shows up in one dashboard with live milestones, documents, and exceptions, so nothing goes dark in transit.
Do you handle customs clearance?
Yes. Licensed brokers file and clear on your behalf, with duties and compliance handled alongside the freight.
