Our take

In the shipping and logistics industries, drayage is the transport of goods over a short distance, a process which still depends on emails and spreadsheets for its daily operations. Dray Alliance brings Uber-like airport pickup efficiency to the drayage industry by providing a seamless mobile experience, more predictability in delivery time, and better economics for shippers, carriers, and truckers.

For every successful shipment, Dray Alliance takes a percentage of the total cost. Its charges are higher than the industry norm, but the company claims this is counteracted by its ability to reduce the frequency of fines for late pickup on cargo.

Dray Alliance's ability to serve big-name clients such as Mattel, the multinational toy manufacturing company, demonstrates that Dray Alliance can deliver value to big industry players, which bodes well for its future success.
