Solutions
Small-business logistics: freight without a logistics department.
For companies that ship pallets a few times a month and have nobody whose job it is. Plain language, written quotes and one person to call.
ErisWorlds is preparing to launch and is not arranging shipments yet. Send an inquiry and we will tell you when service opens on your lane.
Launch markets: Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville. Corridors: Florida's Turnpike; I-4; I-4 and I-95; I-75 and I-10; I-10; I-45; SH 71 and US 290; I-35.
What gets in the way
Four things we hear, and what is done about each.
I don't know what to ask for.
Say what you are shipping, from where to where, and by when. The options come back side by side, each with what it includes.
The invoice was higher than the quote.
A written quote names the charges that could be added: a liftgate, a residential stop, an appointment, waiting time. If the facts change, you hear before the invoice does.
The paperwork is a foreign language.
Each document is explained where it appears: the bill of lading, the proof of delivery, the commercial invoice for an export.
When something goes wrong, nobody answers.
What you see
One shipment, fully explained.
Where it is, who holds it, what happens next, and every document in one place.

How we start
Small first, then wider.
ErisWorlds is preparing to launch. Companies that ask for early access are the first to be onboarded.
Send one inquiry
A single shipment is enough to start. No contract and no minimum.
A written quote
The price, what it includes, and what could change it.
Your first shipment
Followed milestone by milestone, with a person you can call.
Keep what works
Lanes you repeat are saved, so the second request takes a minute.
Questions
Asked in a first conversation.
ErisWorlds is preparing to launch in Florida and Texas. Today we take inquiries, learn your lanes and tell you when service opens on them. The portal shown on this page is a product preview with sample data.
No. An inquiry needs only your contact details and the shipment. A business account is for teams that ship regularly.
With the international shipping guide: sale terms, documents and who clears customs. Then send the details and ask for the options.
None is set. A program is sized to what you ship, and a single shipment is a fine place to start.
