Platform changes
Looking for a Parnity alternative?
parnity.co no longer answers. What Parnity was, what we observed, and what CargoLinked offers forwarders who used it to be found by partners and shippers.
What Parnity offered
- A digital, membership-based network for freight forwarders, built around a searchable member directory and partner discovery (its own description of itself, as researched in August and September 2026).
- Paid membership with an optional payment-protection add-on sold separately from the membership itself.
What has changed
Observed on 18 October 2026
parnity.co resolves to 127.0.0.1 (a loopback address, meaning the domain points at no server) and www.parnity.co refuses connections. Earlier fetches in August and September 2026 had already failed. We have seen no public statement from the company and do not know whether it has closed, paused or moved.
What CargoLinked offers instead
A free directory you can be found in today
CargoLinked lists logistics companies in 194 countries. Adding a company that is not listed is self-serve: the listing publishes as soon as it has its basic details, with no document review and no waiting period. Claiming a listing that already exists uses a code sent to an address at the company's own web domain.
Freight requests from shippers, answered with structured quotes
Shippers post a freight request for free. Companies with a live listing whose coverage includes the origin or destination country can reply with a quote in US dollars, a transit time, a route, a validity date and notes. The shipper compares the quotes side by side and accepts one; the transport contract is between the shipper and the provider, and CargoLinked is not the carrier.
A free plan, and paid plans priced in the open
A Listed plan is free and keeps a company visible in the directory. Paid plans add a monthly allowance of quote responses and the Connected badge; the prices and what each plan includes are on the pricing page, with no quote required.
An optional, scoped Verified badge
A company can upload registration documents for a person to review and earn a Verified badge that says exactly which facts were checked and when. It is free, it is optional, and a listing without it is not treated as suspect; most listings do not have one.
What CargoLinked does not do
Read this before you switch; it is as important as the list above.
- CargoLinked is not a forwarder network: there is no membership agreement between members, no payment protection fund and no conference. Forwarders can find each other in the directory, but the relationship is theirs to arrange.
- Listings are not reviewed before they go live. Only the Verified badge involves a document check, and it covers the specific facts it names.
- CargoLinked does not quote instant rates, does not take bookings and does not handle payment. Quotes are written by the provider and the shipment is contracted directly with them.
Common questions
- Has Parnity closed?
- We do not know. On 18 October 2026 its domain pointed at no server and its site could not be reached, and it had been unreachable in our checks since August 2026. If it comes back we will update this page.
- Is CargoLinked a forwarder network like Parnity?
- No. CargoLinked is a public directory and a marketplace where shippers post freight requests. Forwarders can find other forwarders in the directory and contact them, but there is no membership agreement, no protection fund and no event programme.
- What does it cost to be listed?
- Nothing. The Listed plan is free. Paid plans add a monthly allowance of quote responses to shipper requests and the Connected badge; the prices are published on the pricing page.
