Case Study: Octo Actuators achieves zero-emission logistics with Forto

Octo Actuators’ Digital Transformation in Supply Chain Management with Forto

Octo Actuators, a technology company in the electronics space, turned to Forto in 2022 to improve its international shipping operations. The company needed a more efficient way to quote, book, ship, and manage container logistics, while also aligning its supply chain with its sustainability goals.

Forto provided its digital freight forwarding platform for sea freight, giving Octo Actuators real-time transport comparisons, itemized pricing, easy booking, tracking, and document access in one place. In 2023, Octo Actuators also adopted Forto’s biofuel for all ocean transport, using a Book & Claim approach to avoid disruption. This helped reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 100% for those shipments and supported the company in managing future EU ETS-related costs.
