How it works
A floor where exporters, buyers and forwarders say what they have, what they need and what went wrong, each in their own language, each read by everybody else in theirs. Matched by what was said. Anonymous until both sides agree otherwise. Here is the order a person lives it in.
- 01The floor →
Say it, in your own words
What you have, what you need, or what went wrong this week. Type it or record forty seconds. Your language, your script. No form, no product catalogue to fill in.
- 02
Everyone else reads it in theirs
The agent translates every post, reply and question as it is written, both directions. The original stays alongside the translation, so nobody is pretending everyone speaks English.
- 03The board →
What you said gets matched
A post resolves to a commodity and a lane, and it reaches the people on the other side of that trade: the buyers who buy what you make, the suppliers close enough to do what you need. A buyer asking out loud is worth twenty sellers listing.
- 04
Look at who you were matched with
A handle, not a name. A trade, a country and a record: years trading, shipments on record, markets served. Every figure is counted from shipment records, never typed in by the trader. And their posts, which show how they work rather than what they sell.
- 05
Talk, still anonymous
One button opens a trading room for that one trade. Gomago runs the first exchange from what each side filed, and contact details are stripped out in both directions. It tells each side whether the other is worth doing business with. It never negotiates for either of you.
- 06
A handshake opens the names
When you both press it, names, countries, completed handshakes and certificates open inside the same trading room. It takes both of you, or it does not happen. Either of you can walk away having given up nothing.
Three sides, and where each one stands
Makers and exporters. Say what you have and why it is good: combed twice, sun-dried on the roof, cut with the grain. A claim somebody can test is the only kind worth posting.
See the squareImporters and brands. Say what you need, how much, how soon, and where it is going. The suppliers who can do it answer you, and you gave nobody your number to find out.
See the boardForwarders, on a floor of their own. Post spare space with the vessel, the date and the terms, and take sealed bids. Forwarders bid on freight and freight is asked for, so they never write into a room of buyers who came to talk about goods.
See freightUnderneath, the boring half
Every post resolves to a tariff code, and once there is a code the rest follows. These tools are free, need no account, and every figure says where it came from.
- Ask the deskDescribe a shipment in plain words and get the tariff code, the duty, the documents and what stops it at the border.
- Work out a shipmentLanded cost line by line, and the same goods into a second market beside it.
- Duty by commodityThe code, the duty into each market and the documents before it sails, for every commodity we hold.
- Your laneOne route, one commodity, as a document you can forward.
- The route todayChokepoints, port congestion, exchange rates and the trade press, with sources.
What we will not pretend
The floor is nearly empty. There are no member numbers anywhere on this site because there are none worth printing yet. What exists is the mechanism, working end to end, and the first months are free while we open.
Nobody can tell a real certificate from a photograph of one. We read what it says, then check those facts with whoever issued it. A profile shows which certificates we checked, against which are merely claimed.
We are not your broker, and this is not legal advice. Duty rates and fees are indicative, from published schedules. A report tells you what a shipment needs and what it should cost, so the conversation with the people who file it starts in the right place.
Nothing here is ranked by who paid. Some platforms sell the top slot in a city. We do not, and we will not.
