FreightPulse monitors geopolitical events across 10+ global shipping chokepoints and alerts you in real-time — so you can adjust prices before your margins disappear.
↑ Real alert fired today · 2026-03-30
The Problem
"Most dropshippers find out about shipping cost increases through a surprise invoice. By then, the margin is already gone."
Freight rates spike 24–72 hours after specific geopolitical events: attacks on shipping lanes, port closures, chokepoint threats. FreightPulse detects the signal before the market moves.
How it works
RSS feeds, news sources, and targeted searches across 10+ global shipping chokepoints including the Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea, Bab-el-Mandeb, Suez Canal, and more.
Keyword-weighted signal detection separates confirmed disruptions from social media noise. No hallucinated certainty on sparse data. Confidence is always explicit.
Direct Telegram message with risk level, specific triggers, and a clear recommended action. Plus a daily executive briefing every morning.
What's included
Instant Telegram alerts when risk levels shift. Every 30 minutes, 24/7.
Executive-style summary every morning: what changed, why it matters, what to watch, suggested posture.
Six operational metrics: transit continuity, disruption severity, insurance stress, freight stress, oil volatility, commercial interruption risk.
Not just a score — an action. Proceed / Caution / Delay / Contingency. Mapped to your operations.
Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea, Bab-el-Mandeb, Suez Canal, Black Sea, South China Sea, Taiwan Strait, and more.
