A Spark Amid Cracks

In 2003, the international freight forwarding industry was still struggling through piles of fax paper and tangled phone lines, with the global logistics network fragmented into countless isolated islands.

A crisis of trust in cross-ocean cooperation was choking the lifeline of the industry.

It was in this very year that a Chinese brand, “JCtrans,” was born — quietly planting the seed of an industry revolution.

The “JCtrans” brand adopted orange as its primary color, vibrant like the rising sun, symbolizing a digital-driven, efficient connection across international freight chains.

At the same time, the letter “T” paired with a star forms a “reliable beacon,” representing JCtrans’ brand promise to be trustworthy, safe, and dependable for international freight forwarders.

The core goal of creating the “JCtrans” brand was to use a “brand symbol” to promote a consensus for cooperation among international freight forwarders.

By acting as a third-party “symbol of trust,” it would provide an identity stamp for cooperation, enabling companies displaying this symbol to naturally form an alliance of shared values.

Quietly Growing Roots

For its first 17 years, the JCtrans brand was like a Roman courier station stamp along ancient trade routes — gradually earning spiritual recognition among a niche group.

However, it never truly melted the ice of distrust between freight forwarders.

The industry continued to scrutinize this “slow brand” with a complex gaze, and critics mocked it as a “commercial nursery rhyme.”

For 17 years, JCtrans grew weakly yet resiliently.

The Turning Point in JCtrans’ Fate

In 2021, during the global supply chain crisis, the JCtrans brand reached a major turning point.

Jacy Qiu, a post-90s new-generation industrial internet entrepreneur — formerly a management trainee at JD.com and head of R&D for JD's 3C technology products — brought his accumulated experience in industrial digitalization and deep insight into international logistics pain points into the field.

With great passion, he founded JCtrans and, with unique strategic vision, acquired the JCtrans brand.

This acquisition marked the beginning of a new era of “platform-empowered growth” for the international logistics industry.

Jacy Qiu, equipped with a deeply rooted methodology in the internet sector, a strong understanding of digital platform concepts,

and a profound grasp of global supply chain collaboration, led his team to build an international logistics ecosystem from a platform perspective — digitally empowering freight forwarder growth.

This leader, well-versed in both technological revolutions and organizational evolution, stepped up as a disruptor to initiate a process of “global trust infrastructure.”

From Brand Symbol to Industry Ecosystem: An Epic Leap

JCtrans set out to inject new purpose into the JCtrans brand — to become the most trustworthy freight forwarding platform

The Year of Strategy: Anchoring in global trust infrastructure, customer-oriented, and leading the future of global freight forwarding.

Jacy Qiu stated that the reborn JCtrans is not just a trademark, but a developing global cooperation and trust language among freight forwarders.

“If JCtrans cannot evolve into an ecosystem, it will eventually become just a decoration,” Jacy Qiu said at JCtrans’ s first strategy meeting.

He emphasized the need to redefine JCtrans’ mission: To Become The Most Trustworthy Freight Forwarding Platform.

The first step was to set a clear direction: customer-centric, rooted in the international logistics industry, helping global freight forwarders achieve sustained profitability.

A customer-oriented company makes all decisions and actions based on customer needs and benefits — from organization, mechanisms, to talent development, everything starts from this origin.

Only by truly understanding and meeting customer needs can trust and loyalty be earned, thus driving long-term growth.

– Laying the Foundation with Integrity: Let Opportunities Grow in the Sunlight –

In the freight forwarding industry, trust is the cornerstone of cooperation and the invisible threshold for growth.

Only by building a deeply connected digital trust platform can international freight cooperation become a reliable force.

JCtrans understood this well and aimed to embed “trustworthy” into the platform’s DNA.

By building a cooperation credibility system under a three-level control mechanism — “qualification review + risk warning + dispute arbitration” — the platform could form a closed-loop transaction environment.

JCtrans adopts both online and offline promotional strategies to increase quality opportunities for member enterprises and enhance their brand exposure in the industry,

serving the global freight forwarding industry more efficiently and comprehensively.

It also builds a full-chain risk control system — from qualification checks, responsive alerts, to credit empowerment — to mediate disputes, reduce risks, and minimize member losses.

The goal: The Most Trustworthy Freight Forwarding Platform

We aim not only to be a trusted platform for freight forwarding business matchmaking — but also a driver of progress in the industry.

At a recent strategic meeting, JCtrans Chairman and CEO Jacy Qiu said:

“We aim not only to be the most trustworthy platform for freight forwarder business connections, but also to promote the advancement of the entire industry.

We want every freight forwarder to find lifelong partners through JCtrans.

Helping global freight forwarders maintain sustainable profitability, and working hand-in-hand with them to build the most trusted international logistics platform — that is our mission and vision.”

Four years of cultivation have yielded fruitful results.

From a rising star to a leader in global freight network organizations, JCtrans has written a trust and efficiency legend in just four years:

By building a “Security–Efficiency–Expertise” risk control ecosystem, JCtrans provides up to $150,000/year in cooperation protection for members.

Currently, the platform hosts 23,700+ paid enterprises and 660,000+ registered users.

Among them, over 11,000 paid members. In 2024, JCtrans created more than 2.2 million valid business match opportunities for its paid members.

From 2022 to 2024, the platform facilitated cross-border logistics settlements totaling 4.1 billion RMB, helping domestic freight forwarders reach over USD $5 billion in online ocean freight settlements.

These figures not only demonstrate scale and speed, but also reflect the collective choice of freight forwarders worldwide for JCtrans' s values of integrity, safety, and efficiency.

From connecting business opportunities to safeguarding trust, from tech innovation to ecosystem building,

JCtrans is reshaping global freight forwarding rules with Chinese wisdom.

When 11,000+ paid members choose JCtrans. The real story of JCtrans has only just begun.

– Committed to Long-Term Altruism, Striving to Be a Century-Lasting Brand –

A company's success is not only measured by its profit and growth, but also by its ability to create value and benefits for upstream and downstream partners.

Therefore, JCtrans has always adhered to the concept of a healthy ecosystem,

promoting collaborative development across the entire supply chain through cooperation and mutual benefit.

In the next ten years, JCtrans will deepen its core business, expand globally, and aim to become an industry leader and innovator.

In the next three years, it will focus on key markets, strengthen the JCtrans brand influence, and continue innovating service models.

In the coming year, it will implement specific action plans — doing each small task well and letting every small goal become the cornerstone of a grand blueprint.

JCtrans hopes to build a mutually beneficial ecosystem through its efforts,

so that upstream and downstream partners can all thrive — together driving industry prosperity and growth.
