Built by Cargo People
How ImEx Cargo turned 30+ years of operational experience into Plug-In Freight Ops™ — a connective operational layer that unifies quoting, booking, tracking, reporting, and customer communication.
Built on Real Experience
For more than three decades, ImEx Cargo has operated at the intersection of airlines, freight forwarders, government agencies, and global supply chains. Founded by Michelle DeFronzo, ImEx Cargo was built not on theory, but on lived experience — thousands of shipments, millions of kilos moved, and decades spent inside the freight desk solving problems in real time.
The Industry Problem
That experience exposed a deeper industry problem: despite billions invested in digitalization, daily freight operations remained fragmented. Quotes lived in emails. Rates lived in PDFs. Tracking lived across airline portals, spreadsheets, and trucking systems. Sales intelligence often lived nowhere at all.
"We weren't failing to digitize. We were digitizing pieces — but not the workflow."
The Moment Workarounds Became a Risk
During COVID and subsequent disruptions, the cost of fragmentation became impossible to ignore. In a world of shifting capacity, constant exceptions, and rising compliance expectations, operator teams were still managing 20–30 emails per shipment just to keep freight moving.

Built for Adoption — Without Disruption

The Approach

This design philosophy reflects a pragmatic understanding of how adoption actually occurs in logistics and government environments.
