Cargobot was recently featured on Worldwide Business with Kathy Ireland®. CEO and Co-Founder Fernando Correa and fellow Co-Founder Catalina Machado sat down with Kathy and discussed how Cargobot is working to solve the inefficiencies of ground transportation.
Connecting Shippers and Carriers
With over 20 years of experience in the shipping industry, the founders of Cargobot were well aware of the inefficiencies of this $800 billion dollar a year industry. In an industry that has been previously left behind in regard to technology, Cargobot has brought innovation and technology by changing the way shippers and carriers are connected. And with this, they are changing the rules of the shipping business and changing the lives of shippers and carriers alike through technology, as Ms. Machado explained.
Through a user-friendly online portal, member shippers post their loads they need transported through Cargobot easy to use interface. Notifications are immediately sent out to member carriers that are located nearby, whose specs match those needed by the shipper. Interested carriers can then negotiate directly with the shipper and place a bid for the job through the mobile-friendly Cargobot app on their smartphones. The shipper then chooses from the bids received, all in a transparent and efficient manner for both them and the carrier.
