Reliable shipment visibility has become essential for companies managing global supply chains. With SeaRates announcing the discontinuation of its digital logistics platform at the end of August 2026, many shippers and logistics providers are now reassessing their tracking solutions. BlueBox Systems offers an established alternative, providing comprehensive freight visibility for both air and ocean shipments on a single platform.

The Bonn-based technology company specializes in turning shipment data into reliable, actionable information. Rather than simply displaying tracking events, BlueBox Systems consolidates data from multiple sources, continuously cleanses and validates it, and makes it available for operational and strategic decision-making.

“Freight visibility is our core business. We continuously develop our platform around the needs of logistics providers and shippers,” says Martin Schulze, CEO of BlueBox Systems. “Our customers need reliable data, transparency and solutions that integrate smoothly into their existing processes. That is exactly where we focus our expertise.”

The BlueBox platform processes shipment data from more than 150 airlines and 50 shipping lines. AI-powered ETA predictions help users identify expected arrival times and potential deviations at an early stage, enabling them to respond proactively to disruptions. The platform is available through a customer portal as well as via API and can be integrated into existing IT and logistics environments.

A further distinctive feature is the combination of freight visibility and detailed CO₂ transparency. Rather than relying solely on general industry averages, BlueBox Systems incorporates specific information about the actual aircraft or vessel used whenever available. Factors such as aircraft or vessel type, age, engine configuration and utilization can be included in the calculation, providing companies with a more detailed view of emissions across their transport chains.

Recent market developments also highlight the importance of continuity when selecting digital logistics solutions. As a specialized technology company, BlueBox Systems is focused on the long-term development of freight visibility solutions. Customers including Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, Siemens Digital Logistics and WACO already use BlueBox solutions to gain greater transparency across their international supply chains.

Companies currently reviewing their tracking processes or looking for a new solution following the discontinuation of SeaRates can experience the BlueBox platform in a demo.
