Cargoplot is an online marketplace that connects e-commerce importers and freight forwarders and uses machine learning to match shippers with expert freight forwarders for specific routes and cargo types. It earns a commission on completed transactions, with pricing tiers linked to weight, cargo type, and forwarder quality. Founded in 2020 and based in Amsterdam, the team includes Maarten de Reij, Daniel Schreij, and Henk-Jan Meijer. The company used its funding to develop the transport services marketplace and went live on the China–Netherlands corridor at the end of 2022, where it recorded a seven-fold year-on-year increase in volume. Cargoplot says its network of vetted freight forwarders can guarantee delivery even in heated market conditions and also helps forwarders expand into new markets and improve internal communications. Future monetization plans mentioned by the company include capitalizing on data, affiliate sales of cargo space, cargo insurance, and cargo financing. Cargoplot operates an online freighttech platform that helps e-commerce importers find suitable freight forwarders for specific routes and cargo types using machine learning-driven matching. The platform was developed in collaboration with freight forwarders and importers to streamline communications and centrally store documents. Its matching aims to deliver timely, transparent freight forwarding partnerships and reduce the sector's low digitalization. Cargoplot plans to use recent funding to improve its product and ramp up sales efforts. The company positions itself to bring transparency and connectivity to a traditionally opaque freight sector. Maarten de Reij is the founder and CEO.
