Almost every object around you has been in a container at some point. A massive share of these goods are moved by freight forwarders, 80% of whom are small and medium-sized - who mostly organize shipments via email.
AGX helps these forwarders by providing them with the digital toolset so they can focus on their superior operational service.
We are a team uniting decades of experience in forwarding, tech, and consulting. We are based in both Europe and Asia.

Our vision is to let small-, and medium-sized freight forwarders compete with digital freight forwarders head on, making collaboration between supply chain actors so easy that global supply chains become plug and play.
We do this, in the first step, by building a communication and collaboration platform that cuts down on unnecessary emails and double data entries by connecting relevant data sources. This creates transparency, letting SME freight forwarders focus on value-adding activities.
AGX World Ltd. was founded in 2021 to help small and medium-sized forwarders to take a step ahead and digitalize themselves to compete with emerging digital and global players. We provide them with the digital toolset and keep their backs free so they can focus on their superior operational service offering.
We are committed to global trade and strive to push global prosperity while driving sustainability. As a fully remote organization we have representatives and staff in ten nations. Based across Asia, Europe and Africa we are well-financed by industry experts, and currently in the launching process.
