The SeaRates team greatly appreciates your continued support and loyalty. Every month, we release new features and improve the site, and this month was no exception. We would like to present you with the results of our work. If you subscribe to our SeaRates news feed, we will notify you when a new release is ready.
Go ahead and check out the new features.
Shipper Enterprise
We are proud to announce the SeaRates Enterprise release. The SeaRates team has launched a new account type in the SeaRates system — “Shipper Enterprise”. You have the opportunity to register in two ways:
- By creating a subdomain on the searates.app domain, you and your employees can log in to your own Virtual Office.
- We have also implemented the ability to log in to a Shipper Enterprise account from SeaRates.com. This allows you to access all SeaRates IT tools, which you can find on the “Tools” tab, with a single account.
A special feature of the Shipper Enterprise account owner is the ability to add freight rates that will not be displayed in the general search on SeaRates.com.
