Move Cargo.
Get Paid. Every Time.
Freight forwarders on lockt receive guaranteed payment for every shipment via smart escrow — and get real-time visibility tools to manage every leg of the journey without chasing a single invoice.
The Freight Payment Problem
Freight forwarders face systemic payment delays that no invoice chasing can fix. lockt changes the equation.
Payments Delayed by Trade Disputes
When exporter-importer disputes freeze escrow, your freight invoice gets caught in the middle — for months.
No Visibility for Shippers
Exporters and importers can't see shipment progress, causing incessant check-ins that distract your operations team.
Documentation Bottlenecks
Bill of Lading disputes, falsified cargo weights, and missing customs docs cost days of delays and demurrage charges.
Unpaid or Disputed Invoices
Exporters who receive partial payment often hold freight fees last — or dispute them entirely when goods quality is contested.
Your Payment Is Protected From Day One
lockt's escrow architecture ensures your freight fees are ring-fenced at trade creation — not an afterthought when disputes arise.
Freight Fee Locked at Trade Creation
Your freight percentage is written into the trade contract and allocated inside escrow from the moment the importer funds. It cannot be redirected or withheld.
Automatic Payment on Delivery
24 hours after you upload the Airway Bill or Bill of Lading, your agreed freight price releases from escrow automatically — no invoicing, no chasing, no delays.
Protected Even in Disputes
Freight fees are protected in most dispute scenarios unless the freight forwarder is specifically named in the claim. Escrow freeze affects the disputed portion only.
Blockchain-Anchored Documents
Every Bill of Lading, customs declaration, and delivery note you upload is SHA-256 hashed and anchored to the Polygon blockchain. No more document disputes.
Example: How a $100,000 Trade Could Split
Illustrative only — there is no fixed split. Your share is exactly the freight quote the exporter accepts.
