Pro Carrier Logo
A rapidly growing cross-border eCommerce shipping specialist and a Hurricane customer.

Some of the UK’s biggest online retailers, handling high volumes of cross-border transactions, were experiencing severe issues with shipments being held at customs due to poor data.

By integrating Hurricane’s data enhancement solution, our customer, logistics specialist Pro Carrier, was able to reduce the volume of parcels held at customs from over 30% in peak 2021 to less than 0.5% in peak 2022.

Pro Carrier said:

“The provision of clean and accurate AI-driven data by Hurricane gives retailers and their customers the confidence and assurance that their products will arrive on time.”
