“Cargofy is the easiest and fastest way to ship anything by truck through our digital innovation and transformative solutions. We seek to replace fragmented and time- consuming processes in the trucking industry.

Our firm provides an all-in-one solution for freight shippers and carriers. Our solutions includes fast, automated load matching based on location and equipment; route planning and shipment tracking; algorithm-based instant pricing; and seamless proof-of-delivery, billing and payment. The benefits we provide for truckers, fleet managers, and our clients include lower operating costs, higher revenues, better fuel efficiency and asset utilization, and real-time tracking for each delivery. We developed Cargofy from our actual trucking business experience and then successfully launched the service in Eastern Europe (app called Tona http://tona.com.ua). We have almost 2000 active drivers who have delivered over 10 000 orders in the last year. Our international team with advisor is nearly 20 people from India, Ukraine, Russia and US.”
