About Xeneta

At Xeneta, we have been on a mission to transform the ocean and air freight markets since 2012. We are doing this by building a data platform that provides intelligence to the very opaque industry of buying and selling containerized freight. Now, Xeneta is the leading freight rate benchmarking and market analytics platform—creating transparency and empowering our customers to make data-driven decisions.

Our customers include big brands such as Kuehne+Nagel, Coca-Cola Company, Unilever, Pfizer, Flexport, L'Oreál, Nestlé, and Volvo.

Headquartered in Oslo, with offices in Hamburg and Jersey City and employees from over 60 different countries, we are a truly international company that celebrates diversity. We're growing at a fast pace, helped in part by our latest investment round where APAX Digital invested $80M, and we are continuously searching for top talent and partners to join us on our mission.
