About InXpress

InXpress is a global shipping franchise that helps get the same prices and customer support for small and mid-sized businesses that carriers typically reserve for Fortune 1000 companies. We earn the discounts and increased service through cooperative buying that bundles the revenues of these small businesses together. The global freight market was $700 billion in 2013, and it’s expected to grow to $1.3 trillion by 2023, according to research from the U.S. Department of Transportation and Research and Innovative Technology. Fortune 1000 companies have resources to hire logistics experts - but what about the next 5 million companies that are have a smaller payroll and are less experienced, but that cumulatively represent a huge piece of the shipping market?

The InXpress client value proposition: less hassle + lower expenses + greater communication = opportunity
