GTM engineering for maritime and logistics.
Maritime sells on price by default, because commercial teams run on stale lists, personal networks and rate cards. The data that says who to approach sits in customs records and carrier schedules that almost nobody acts on. We build the engine that turns trade data into conversations: the shippers moving on your lanes, the reason their routing can improve, and follow-up that happens every week.

Where the evidence comes from
Every name on the list comes with a reason it is now.
Who ships
Customs records: shipper, consignee, commodity, volume and lane.
Who carries it
Carrier relationships and lane share, refreshed as they change.
Who decides
The person who owns the lane, found and verified.
What changed
New plants, new routes, delays and carrier switches.
And here is where we get it
Public sources
Plant and investment announcements, port and terminal notices, company registries, leadership moves, trade statistics.
Data we license
Customs and bill of lading records, carrier schedules, lane capacity and transhipment data, rate indices. Our partner Coreties brings much of this.
Your own systems
Booking history by lane and customer, quotes won and lost, volumes against contract, and the accounts that quietly went quiet.
Every signal on this page is one we can collect. Some are public, some come from data we license, and some are already inside your systems. What is available varies by market and by licence, so the workshop settles what can be collected for you before anything is built.
Built in your CRM, with Clay as the data and signal layer. You see every approach and every reply, every week.
Questions
Asked by maritime and logistics teams.
Other industries we work in:
What is GTM engineering for a shipping or logistics company?
Turning trade data into sales conversations: the shippers moving on your lanes, the reason to call, and outreach and follow-up that happen every week, recorded in your CRM.
Do we need to buy trade data?
Often you already have it. The workshop covers which sources are worth paying for and which you already own.
Which markets do you cover?
We work from Singapore across Asia Pacific, on the lanes that matter to you.
Where does the data behind these signals come from?
Three places. Public sources such as plant and investment announcements, port and terminal notices, company registries, leadership moves, trade statistics. Data we license: customs and bill of lading records, carrier schedules, lane capacity and transhipment data, rate indices. Our partner Coreties brings much of this. And your own systems: booking history by lane and customer, quotes won and lost, volumes against contract, and the accounts that quietly went quiet. What is available varies by market and by licence, so the workshop settles what can be collected for you before anything is built.
