Cargoguide International

Cargoguide International is a Netherlands-based startup that is revolutionizing the freight forwarding industry with its powerful software. Their mission is to simplify rate management and enhance global freight forwarding, believing in transparency, neutrality, and fair market practices. The platform facilitates streamlined shipment opportunities for forwarders and carriers, offering neutral comparisons of the most recent rates per route and easy management from request to booking.

Founded in 2003 by Jorre and Iwert Cobelens, Cargoguide has made significant strides in the industry. They introduced Cargo Office as the first independently managed global solution with a pre-filled rate database for air freight. Currently operating in 84 countries, Cargoguide serves over 2,000 customers worldwide, ranging from small forwarders to large multinationals, by publishing air and ocean freight rates.

In 2017, Cargoguide became a part of WiseTech Global, a prominent developer and provider of software solutions to the logistics execution industry. This strategic partnership has opened doors for Cargoguide, allowing them to cater to 15,000 logistics companies across 150 countries, including 43 of the top 50 global third-party logistics providers and 25 of the 25 largest global freight forwarders.

Although details about their last investment are currently unavailable, Cargoguide's commitment to innovation and industry disruption makes them a compelling prospect for potential investors seeking opportunities in the logistics and freight forwarding sector.
