In this edition: Q1 transit time data is in, and the patterns matter for how you plan your lanes. We also share our LogiSYM Awards shortlisting, a practical guide on freight invoice leakage, and our time at Singapore Maritime Week.

Q1 2026 Transit Time: What the Data Says

Where Freight Invoice Costs Still Slip Through

Most billing errors are small, repeated overcharges, buried in surcharges and accessorial fees, while contract mismatches quietly drain margins across shipments. Portcast's latest guide covers where cost leakage hides, why audits need to start during the shipment journey and not after delivery, how to measure your team's audit maturity, and what to look for when evaluating a tool.

If freight invoices are a black box in your operations, this is the guide to read.

Portcast at Singapore Maritime Week 2026

Our CEO, Nidhi Gupta, and Marketing Director, Devansh Bhikajee, joined government and industry leaders at the GDSC Networking Luncheon during Singapore Maritime Week, hosted by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). The conversation centered on green and digital shipping corridors and the role AI plays in building more efficient, resilient supply chains.

We were invited by the MPA, and it was a great opportunity for us to showcase how Portcast uses AI to improve efficiency and resilience and to support more sustainable supply chains.
