We are Explect, and this is our story...


Explect, the new generation freight forwarder ready to handle your logistics.


We believe in a logistics world where the freight forwarder, importers, and exporters work together as a team, ending the black box in logistics. Logistics is all around us and plays a crucial role in keeping the world moving, from the screen you are reading our story on to the clothes you are wearing. Yet, the ability to ship, store and trade goods has largely remained stagnant. Despite being more connected than ever, sharing data within logistics remains difficult. Each link in the logistics chain operates with its systems and processes.


Through our platform and expert import and export services, we aim to simplify global trade by connecting everyone in the supply chain. We set a new standard for global trade, focusing on supporting businesses' growth by providing them with the best transport and logistics solutions. We are the gateway to the world of international transport and have already helped many businesses with their import or export journeys. Let us help your business grow!

Your transportation is our top priority.

We make transportation easy for you. From price inquiry to customs clearance, everything can be done in just a few minutes through our online platform. Prefer us to handle the entire transport process? No problem. You'll always stay informed during transport through our track and trace function on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Our business is your business, and we're here for you, even when issues arise.

Our History


Our founders grew up in their father's logistics business and decided to continue in logistics on their own, in a new way, after the family business shut down. In 2015, they founded Explect as the first online Do It Yourself import and export company in the Netherlands. Our first customers received a quote via email within ten minutes, something that was unique at the time. Despite the surprise of competitors and carriers, our founders continued their pioneering work. Through hard work and continuous improvement, the company and team grew. In 2019, the platform was completely renewed, and in 2020, Explect made the leap to become a scale-up.
