Convoy

Convoy Inc was a technology-driven trucking software company founded in 2015 and based in Seattle, Washington. The company aimed to modernize the freight and trucking industry by digitizing freight brokerage through a mobile app platform. This platform connected shippers and carriers efficiently, often likened to the "Uber for trucking." Convoy raised over $1 billion in funding and was recognized multiple times as a CNBC Disruptor 50 company for its innovative approach to logistics. The core offering of Convoy included a digital freight brokerage platform that allowed shippers to post detailed freight shipments. Trucking carriers could search for matching shipments and bid on jobs, optimizing truck utilization and reducing empty miles. The app also facilitated payment processing for carriers upon successful delivery. Convoy served a variety of shippers, including major consumer goods companies like Unilever and Procter & Gamble, as well as independent truckers seeking freight opportunities.
