Competitive Advantage

API and integration first engineering focus specific to the challenges of both the AP & AR side of freight payments. Proven technology for risk and fraud mitigation (proven by our default/loss rate in financed transactions to date). Easy to deploy, set up and use for both carriers and brokers. Current market options are limited to inflexible legacy based Fincos for carriers and only a few options for brokers that are expensive or require heavy loan covenants that can't be accessed by 90% 0f the freight companies servicing the market.

Go-To Market Strategy

Business Strategy
We acquire carriers through a free job finding app (60%) and other carriers we acquire via direct invitation to our payments service from freight brokers. We acquire brokers via 50% via direct sales outreach by inside sales reps and 50% via partner referrals from other transportation technology platforms. These platforms also integrate with our API making our payment and financing service embedded within the workflow of the freight brokers rapidly increasing volumes as the marketing to the partner platforms users ramps up.

Competitive Analysis

Competitive Analysys
Currently the only options to try to address the challenges of automating freight payments and financing are: Triumph Pay - Loan for Account Payable with available web and mobile app - targets large freight brokers (not addressing SMBs). Axle Payments - Recent startup focused on digital recource facotring for small freight brokers. EPay Manager - SaaS for freight AP without a financing component. - Clients of this product have to find a financing source outside of this platform, and API is legacy.
