About Cargobase


Incorporated in 2013, Cargobase was founded with the vision to improve the collaboration between shippers and logistics service providers through a user-friendly transportation management software solution. Our initial solution changed the way spot-freight procurement was done and quickly grew to become the leading enterprise software provider in this segment.


At Cargobase, we’re revolutionizing the way enterprise shippers (e.g., Bosch, Goodyear, Reckitt Benckiser, Textron) and logistics service providers (e.g., DHL, DSV, FedEx) collaborate. Our platform connects all parties on a single platform to simplify spot-buy freight management from quoting and booking to tracking, invoicing, and analytics.
