Kuormat.com was born from the need to create better road logistics. We realized that the current state of logistics has many pain points that cause inefficiencies for both transport companies as well as shippers who need transport services. Inefficiency in road transport also leads to unnecessary emissions.
We challenge the current state of logistic:
The supply and demand of transport do not meet in real-time, thus the effectiveness of logistics suffers.
Approximately 23% of road freight transport is running empty in Finland leading to 1% of all CO2 emissions.
Contracts for transport are time-consuming for both parties to negotiate and rarely flexible.
The current way of organizing logistics takes time away from the core business of shippers and carriers.
The majority of Finnish carriers are small and only subcontract for larger carriers.
Up to 1% of Finland’s total CO2 emissions could be avoided if empty kilometers were eliminated.
Fair
The service is fair for all customers and reduces the use of middlemen as we directly connect shippers and carriers. The service is open to all shippers and carriers and free to join!
Environmentally friendly
Kuormat.com is the only platform that has only carbon neutral transport. The platform also enables the optimization and planning of the fleet to reduce empty kilometers so that unnecessary CO2 emissions can be avoided.
Smooth
Kuormat.com is built to be user-friendly, so it’s easy to list and book loads. We are constantly improving the platform based on customer feedback.
Secure
We only accept reliable partners that fulfill the criteria of the platform. Our extensive network enables a high level of reliability and guarantees payments to shippers.
