iContainers operates a digital platform that aims to make moving goods between warehouses worldwide as simple as booking a hotel room, allowing users to schedule pickups and deliveries to over 1,200 destinations. The company emphasizes transparency across complex international shipping processes and enables customers to find a quote and complete a booking in under three minutes. It focuses on standard, non-refrigerated/non-hazardous/non-oversized services to scale operations efficiently. iContainers positions itself as a door-to-door coordinator that digitizes port logistics and reduces dependence on customs agents and manual paperwork. The Barcelona-based company maintains a significant portion of operations in Miami and plans to grow its workforce from 45 to nearly 90 over the next year. The startup recently closed $6.7M in growth capital and has raised $9M in total, with plans to use the funds to further develop its product and expand its global operations footprint. iContainers is an online freight forwarder and non-vessel-operating common carrier (NVOCC) that aggregates freight rates for over 100,000 trade routes to more than 300 destinations. The company offers instant quotes, worldwide booking and logistics assistance and recently launched door-to-door ocean freight services for imports, exports and overseas moves between the United States and Spain. The new door-to-door service allows customers to book shipments without worrying about pickups, paperwork and delivery. iContainers opened a U.S. headquarters in Miami in Q3 2013 and plans to extend the door-to-door service throughout Europe and Latin America by 2016. The company intends to use new funding to accelerate growth.
