Company mission
Terminal49's mission is to simplify and automate global trade through its all-in-one shipment and container tracking platform.
Our take
Tracking shipping containers is imperative for freight industry logistics to operate smoothly, ensuring that supply chains are frictionless and that deadlines are met. This is traditionally achieved through manual data entry in spreadsheets, but the quantity of information can become too vast to ensure that every problem is identified.
Terminal49 provides an all-in-one shipping container tracking platform, allowing businesses to streamline and automate their tracking tasks to avoid laborious manual data entry, unidentified delays, and unnecessary demurrage. All shipments can be viewed within a unified dashboard which is sorted by priority, ensuring a holistic overview of logistic operations that reflect real-time ETD and ETA changes.
Whilst many other startups are working to increase efficiency within the freight industry, most of these focus on helping truckers and their managers, as opposed to taking a more holistic business perspective as Terminal49 has. With this unique approach, it's no surprise the company is well-funded, with its most recent raise cited to support accelerated growth and the expansion of operations and business reach.
