Always up to date with daily shipment data

ImportGenius updates U.S. shipment data daily, giving you unmatched visibility into market movements and competitor activity. Instead of waiting weeks for new data, you can act fast on emerging opportunities, track shipments in near real time, and make informed decisions before your competitors do.

Robust, credit-free downloads and real contact data

No credit systems. No partial fields.

ImportGenius gives you full, rich data exports—plus verified contact info researched by our internal intelligence team. It’s actionable data.

ExportGenius’ credit-based model can add a layer of complication in data access and downloads, and they tie contact access to a credit system that may add friction for every lookup.
