According to a recent survey conducted by Container xChange, an online container logistics platform, 91% of professionals in the container logistics industry are faced with lengthy negotiations resulting in delays in the production and delivery of goods.

Professionals taking part in the survey highlighted major concerns, including extended negotiation times, difficulties in finding trustworthy buyers and prolonged sales cycles.

Environ 1 200 professionnels de la chaîne d'approvisionnement interrogés en septembre (2023) ont déclaré que les négociations prenaient entre un et sept jours, et que seuls 9 % d'entre eux étaient en mesure de conclure des accords en l'espace de quelques heures.

To help combat these glaring inefficiencies, which cost a great deal of time, money and effort, Container xChange has introduced "instant sale offers", a feature on Container xChange's container trading platform for its subscribers, which allows container buyers and sellers to instantly buy or sell containers.
