Cargofy

Cargofy operates as a technology-driven logistics firm, providing an AI-powered platform to connect shippers with truck owners and carriers. Founded in 2017 by Stakh Vozniak, Alex Kovalchuk, and Dimitri Alexiou, the company originated in Ukraine with a focus on automating inefficiencies within the freight market. The founders leveraged their existing experience in the trucking industry to develop the platform. Stakh Vozniak, the CEO, had been involved in the trucking sector for years, even starting a traditional freight brokerage, which provided the foundational insights for Cargofy's technology-first approach.

The company’s core business revolves around its digital freight-matching platform, which serves both independent owner-operators and larger fleet managers. This service automates the process of finding and booking loads by connecting to various private load boards, offering users access to tens of thousands of available shipments daily. The business model is based on taking a commission on the loads booked through the app, which is positioned as a more cost-effective alternative to traditional dispatchers or brokers. The platform operates in the United States and several countries in Eastern Europe.

Cargofy's product is a comprehensive mobile and web application that streamlines logistics operations. Its AI agents work 24/7 to scan load boards, matching freight with available trucks based on preset rules like location, equipment type, target rate per mile, and preferred lanes. Key features include automated trip coordination, route planning, real-time GPS tracking, and the digital generation of necessary documents like proof-of-delivery. A distinct component is the "Dispatcher Copilot," an AI assistant that helps manage load searches and trip logistics. For shippers, the platform provides instant pricing and a variety of delivery options, while for carriers, it aims to reduce empty miles, guarantee a rate per mile, and provide quick payment options. The company has steadily raised capital to fuel its growth, securing $2.5 million over several funding rounds, including a significant $2 million seed round in February 2022.
