Our take
Freight services involve many parties including shippers, dispatchers, drivers, and dock managers. Insurance and safety checks are required for everyone involved, a process that makes the truck shipping process more expensive, time-consuming, and less efficient than it could be.
Loadsmart provides an online portal that handles booking, insurance legislation, and health and safety regulations all within an integrated platform. This digital integration leads to parties receiving instant and guaranteed shipping, offering full financial coverage in the event of any discrepancies.
The company has raised significant amounts of funding, most recently in a 2022 Series D Round which saw the company achieving a valuation in excess of $1B. It has used this funding to expand its partnership network and to fuel its acquisitions strategy. In the longer term the company's focus on organic growth will stand it in good stead as it will allow it to avoid aggressive pricing structures which would make it difficult to achieve profitability given the razor-thin margins in the freight industry.
