LIT vs Trademo

Trademo

Trademo is one of the most comprehensive global trade platforms on the market — 3B+ shipment records, plus a full compliance suite covering sanctions screening, denied-party screening, and HS classification. Trademo's sweet spot is procurement, compliance, and supply-chain risk. LIT is purpose-built for the revenue side.

TL;DR

Use Trademo if your primary job is procurement, supplier vetting, or trade-compliance screening. Use LIT if your job is selling freight services to active shippers — because we replace 6 sales tools with one, and Trademo replaces 0.

When to choose LIT
  • Sell freight, brokerage, or supply-chain services as a primary motion
  • Want lane-level volume, carrier mix, and HS codes attached to every account
  • Care about real intent signals — carrier pivots, lane launches, volume shifts
  • Want CRM and outbound in the same workspace as the data
  • Want a self-serve, month-to-month platform — not an enterprise sales cycle
When to choose Trademo
  • Are running a procurement or supplier-sourcing function and need supply-chain mapping
  • Need compliance tooling — sanctions screening, denied-party, forced-labor checks
  • Want HS classification automation across many SKUs
  • Need landed-cost calculations across many countries
We're honest because every team's stack is different. If Trademo fits better, use it.

Trademo is excellent for our procurement and compliance teams. But our freight sales reps need contacts, signals, and a way to send emails. LIT does that natively.
