Strength in numbers

We’re not just a network; we’re a force. Every member is carefully selected, and exclusive membership guarantees your region is covered — so you can expand your operations with partners you trust.

Your competitive edge

Stand out. Members benefit from high-level collaborations and premium opportunities. Together, we don’t just meet expectations — we exceed them.

Closer as a group

Unlike larger freight networks, Umbrella fosters a close-knit community. We believe in collaboration, not competition: knowledge, resources and opportunities are shared, deal by deal.

Driven by innovation

Staying ahead means thinking forward. From verified shipper leads routed straight to the right member, to a live partner directory, the network keeps building tools that win business.

Your country might still be open

We take one agent per country, so the seat for your market is either free or it is not. It takes a few minutes to find out.
