AURORA SHIPPERS ASSOCIATION

One-liner: “Aurora Shippers Association is the first Italian Shippers Association, founded in 2013, dedicated to connecting medium-sized FCL shippers with shipping companies.”

Description: “Aurora Shippers Association operates as a non-profit organization that facilitates agreements for the transportation of goods among its members. It aims to provide economies of scale for small and medium shippers, as well as larger ones, by avoiding the markups imposed by other intermediaries. The association has been active for over eight years and remains the only shippers association operating in Italy.

The association manages an annual global tender with shipping companies, consolidating the volumes of its members to create long-term industrial rates. This approach helps mitigate the impact of market fluctuations on shipping costs. Aurora also offers advanced digital tools for procurement, including a Social Quoting System that allows shippers to manage spot quotes effectively and stay updated on pricing.

In addition to procurement tools, Aurora provides a dedicated dashboard for real-time tracking of shipping rates and a freight audit service to identify and recover overcharges. The association emphasizes transparency and collaboration among its members, ensuring that sensitive data remains confidential while sharing relevant information about routes and volumes.”
