Davis Index, Sealink form partnership

Dallas-based Sealink International, a leading freight forwarder serving the metals recycling industry, and Singapore-based Davis Index, a global commodity price reporting agency, have introduced a new platform integration that allows members of Davis Index real-time access to shipping rates and the ability to book freight shipments online.

“As the market leader in providing freight and shipping solutions to metal recyclers, Sealink is excited to be integrated with the world’s best data intelligence platform built only for the recycling industry,” Shaizad Shroff, CEO of Sealink International, says. “Metal recyclers shipping to, or from, anywhere can now research competitive container rates and book their shipments instantly online.”

The partners say shipping cost transparency and the slow process of booking container shipments have challenged metal recyclers, who will continue to face difficult market conditions heading into 2021. The Sealink-Davis Index integration is designed to help companies make better strategic business decisions and data-driven choices, the companies say.

Through the integrated platform, metal recyclers can research shipping rates; book shipments across ocean, air, truck and parcel modes; track delivery locations in real-time; manage and pay invoices and access detailed reporting and data analytics.

“Our integration with Sealink allows our members to access real-time container freight rates and book their containers from within our platform,” Sean Davidson, CEO of Davis Index, says. “It reduces resource costs for companies and gives market participants the information they need—when they need it. Both companies are technology-led, which allows us to deliver solutions like these to make the everyday roles at companies more seamless and effortless.”
