Ocean Freight
Ship and track container freight across oceans with an industry-leading platform, tailored guidance, and a vast carrier network.

Beauty demand is rarely linear. A single influencer video can trigger thousands of orders overnight, and seasonal launches create concentrated fulfillment peaks. Flexport gives beauty brands the tools to anticipate demand shifts, position inventory strategically, and respond to surges in real time.

Flexport's engine analyzes demand signals, sell-through velocity, and regional trends to recommend optimal inventory placement across our fulfillment network. The result: fewer stockouts on trending SKUs, reduced overstock on seasonal products, and inventory strategically positioned close to your customers for faster, more cost-effective delivery.

Flexport's Platform and Control Tower provide a single pane of glass to monitor your entire supply chain, including non-Flexport cargo. Track every shipment from manufacturer to distribution center with real-time milestone updates, automated exception alerts, and performance scorecards that hold suppliers and carriers accountable.

Today's beauty consumers increasingly value sustainable practices. Flexport helps you reduce your carbon footprint by maximizing container loads, shifting eligible shipments from air to ocean freight, and providing transparent emissions measurement and reporting through our Carbon Management tools.
Beauty imports face a uniquely fragmented regulatory landscape. What qualifies as a mild fragrance in the U.S. might be classified as a flammable good in the EU or restricted entirely in Australia. With MoCRA now requiring end-to-end traceability, compliance has never been more important or more complex.
