Find shipper leads with shipment context, not stale lists
Identify the importers and exporters actively moving freight on your lanes — with verified contacts, carrier-pivot signals, and outbound built in.
Shipper leads from LIT are the importers and exporters whose freight activity matches your lanes, joined to verified procurement and logistics contacts. Unlike static shipper lists or appointment-setting services, LIT shows you what changed this week — new lane, carrier pivot, volume swing — so outbound lands when the buyer is rethinking their freight setup.
Why freight teams stop using generic lead tools.
- Static shipper lists are dead on arrival
A list of 5,000 'verified shippers' you bought last quarter is a list of accounts that have already chosen their carrier. The shipper worth a call is the one whose carrier mix shifted this month.
- Done-for-you appointment services are black boxes
Lead-a-day services hand you names without context. You can't see the trade activity, you can't verify the fit, and you can't scale beyond what they decide to send you.
- Most outbound lands at the wrong moment
A buyer who's happy with their current setup ignores your best email. A buyer whose freight just got reshuffled reads three. Timing is the difference.
The data, the contacts, and the workflow — in one place.
Pulse takes a plain-English description — 'mid-market apparel importers shipping from Bangladesh with quarterly volume over 50 TEU' — and returns a ranked list of named accounts. No keyword guessing, no waiting on a research team.
Each importer carries a pre-built contact graph mapped to eight buyer-side personas: procurement, supply chain operations, logistics and imports, freight operations, customs, trade compliance, warehouse/DC, freight finance. Match the persona to the play.
Pulse Coach watches your saved accounts and pings the rep the day a meaningful signal lands — carrier pivot, volume swing, new origin lane. Outbound goes out the same week the buyer is reconsidering their setup.

“We stopped guessing which shippers to call and started reaching out the week their carrier mix shifted. Reply rates more than doubled in the first quarter.”
Common questions.
What's the difference between a freight lead and a shipper lead?
Freight leads is the broader term — any company whose freight you can win, including importers, exporters, and shippers in any mode. Shipper leads is the narrower term most freight brokers use for asset-light truckload and intermodal prospecting — companies with active shipping volume that need a broker. LIT covers both.
How is LIT different from Freight Genie or FreightLeads.app?
Freight Genie runs AI appointment-setting on top of an opaque data set. FreightLeads.app sells static verified shipper lists. LIT gives you the data, the contacts, the signals, the CRM, and the outbound engine in a workspace you own — not a lead drip you rent.
Can I filter by mode — FTL, LTL, ocean, air?
Yes. LIT covers ocean (full container coverage), air freight, and cross-border trucking, and lets you filter by mode plus lane, port, HS code, and carrier.
How fresh is the data?
BOL records refresh daily from US Customs and 60+ country sources. Contact deliverability is re-verified every 30 days.
Do I own the contacts I find?
Yes. Contacts you enrich are yours to use across your CRM and outbound platforms. LIT also exports cleanly to HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, and Outreach if you want to keep your existing stack.
