“The San Francisco Bay Area is the heart of technological innovation, and also an enormous transportation hub, so bringing Cargomatic here was a natural fit,” says Jonathan Kessler, co-founder and CEO.
Cargomatic connects shippers with truckers through its apps, with all transactions occurring digitally, requiring no paperwork, allowing freight to move in a more efficient manner, says the company.
Shippers can track freight online in real-time and truckers can fill empty space on their trucks. The process can also allow drivers to use more efficient driving routes, spending less time in traffic and reducing fuel consumption, according to Cargomatic.
