LIT vs SeaRates
SeaRates is part of DP World — a deeply embedded operations platform for rate quoting, schedule comparisons, container tracking, and freight booking. SeaRates is an operations tool, not a revenue tool. LIT is the revenue-side counterpart: shipment intelligence, verified contacts, and outbound execution — built for the team that has to find and win the freight before it ever needs a rate quote.
Use SeaRates for rate management, schedule lookups, and container tracking. Use LIT for the upstream revenue motion — finding active shippers, identifying buying signals, enriching contacts, and running outbound. They solve different problems and many teams use both.
