Led by Bernemann and Schulze, the Business Code team developed a state-of-the-art airfreight tracking solution which pulled data from multiple sources, validated that data with satellite aircraft tracking and applied AI to enrich Predictive ETAs to the highest quality in the market. The Global Forwarder bought the solution. The results were so good that Business Code founded BlueBox to take this premium airfreight visibility product to the global market.
In 2023, BlueBox partnered with Vizion USA, the world’s premier oceanfreight tracking company whose USP is their superior data quality. With “Vizion Inside”, BlueBox delivers the most accurate air and oceanfreight data quality in the market.

CO2 emissions tracking
CO2 emissions tracking – the most accurate CO2 emissions reporting based on the CO2 footprint of the actual aircraft or vessel deployed.

CO2 emissions forecasting
CO2 emissions forecasting – adding CO2 emissions data to detailed airline schedules, BlueBox created a CO2 forecasting tool to aid routing decisions and support mitigation reporting
HAWB/HBL tracking
HAWB/HBL tracking – for 4PLs and shippers, we now track HAWB and HBL data via forwarder sites
Missing carriers?
Missing carriers? – we have added many carriers in response to customer requests - even liaising directly with carrier senior management when they have no obvious tracking capability themselves. It's not always possible but we will always try.
