CocoonDEM is a pioneering solution developed and owned by CocoonFMS® Ltd, a UK-based logistics technology company founded by industry veteran James Blackman. Built from decades of hands-on experience in freight forwarding—including time spent at global logistics leader Kuehne + Nagel—CocoonDEM was born out of a clear industry gap: most companies have no reliable way to measure or manage demurrage and detention charges.
Demurrage and detention fees are often overlooked until they become costly problems. With no standardised tools to track or analyze these charges, businesses struggle to gain visibility and control. CocoonDEM was created to solve this challenge—empowering freight forwarders and shippers to monitor, analyse, and reduce unnecessary costs through smart, scalable technology.
CocoonDEM is not just another SaaS product—it’s the result of real-world logistics expertise. James Blackman, co-founder of CocoonFMS®, has spent over 20 years in the freight industry, including developing reporting frameworks for Kuehne + Nagel as far back as 2007. His deep understanding of supply chain inefficiencies and data challenges led to the creation of CocoonFMS®, a company focused on digitalizing freight management without breaking the bank.
CocoonDEM was proudly selected as part of Cohort 1 of the Freight Innovation Fund, a UK government-backed initiative supporting transformative logistics technologies. This recognition highlights CocoonDEM’s potential to reshape how the industry approaches detention and demurrage.
CocoonFMS® is a self-funded logistics tech company based in the UK, offering a suite of cloud-based solutions including CocoonOPS (a multimodal Transport Management System) and CocoonCarbon® (a carbon emissions tracking tool). With a team of seasoned professionals and engineers, CocoonFMS® is committed to simplifying freight tech and driving measurable improvements across the supply chain.
At CocoonDEM, our mission is simple: to eliminate the guesswork in demurrage and detention. We believe that with the right tools, companies can make smarter decisions, save money, and operate more efficiently. Whether you're a freight forwarder, importer, or exporter, CocoonDEM gives you the clarity and control you need.
