25 Aug 2025 CW Team

AI-powered multimodal freight platform LinkedLogi has partnered with global payment specialist BRISKPE to simplify cross-border settlements for Indian exporters, importers, and manufacturers. By integrating compliant, instant, and cost-efficient international payment capabilities into its logistics ecosystem, the platform now enables users to manage shipments and payments in a single workflow.

The solution supports account-to-account transfers in six major currencies (USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD, SGD), PayU card collections, PayPal wallets, and SWIFT transfers in over 30 currencies. Payment links or QR codes come embedded with invoice details and multi-currency options, while instant KYC approval ensures quick onboarding.

“Indian logistics has long suffered from fragmented systems—shipments happen in one place, and payments in another, often leading to costly delays. This partnership changes that reality. By embedding BRISKPE’s global payment infrastructure into our platform, we are giving Indian exporters the ability to move goods and money across borders in a single, seamless workflow. This will not only save time but also strengthen India’s competitiveness in global trade,” said Raj Somani, Founder, LinkedLogi.

The integration enables instant settlement of freight, supplier, and customs payments with flows directly linked to shipment tracking and documentation. This enhances transparency, optimises cash flow, and reduces delays, particularly benefiting high-value, time-sensitive air and ocean freight.

At launch, the service covers India’s leading export destinations, supported by BRISKPE’s settlement network and SWIFT coverage in over 30 currencies.
