Gnosis Freight derives its name from the Greek word 'gnosis,' which means to learn through experience. This philosophy has been an integral part of the company's DNA from the start. We began by learning from a small group of logistics companies, identifying their challenges, and building tools to solve them. Despite Gnosis' tremendous growth since then, we continue to embrace this approach. Many of our most popular features, including the Demurrage and Detention Alarms and Invoice Auditing Tool, are a direct result of conversations with our customers and learning from them.
The Container Lifecycle Management® Platform is highly secure and has undergone rigorous evaluation to ensure the protection of your data. We are proud to inform you that our platform is SOC 2 Type 2 verified.
Gnosis Freight implements usage-based pricing that factors in container volume and a per-container fee, enabling customers to pay for the exact number of containers they use, resulting in cost savings and greater flexibility.

The world’s first logistics software focused on the full lifecycle of the shipping container. Designed to mimic the approach logistics professionals use to conceptualize their supply chains, it provides the data and execution tools needed to manage containers from booking until returned empty to the terminal. By automatically identifying exceptions, the Container Lifecycle Management® platform helps logistics teams make smarter decisions to keep containers moving, saving time, and reducing costs.
We have developed our own international container tracking engine called Marlo that orchestrates the world’s container shipping data sources into one singular, transferrable data model.

Our engine tracks every stage of the container's journey, from Gate-In at origin to when the container is returned empty to the terminal.
