About Freight Tiger ( www.freighttiger.com )
Building Cloud Logistics Platform to transform commerce.
Freight Tiger is India’s largest software-enabled neutral freight network. We have reached where we are by partnering with some of the largest shippers and logistics services providers in the country. With our help, customers in traditional industries move material to their customers with full visibility, predictability and speed, all at a lower cost.
We do this through three products: 1. Cloud-based TMS (Transportation Management Software) to help reduce the procure to cash cycle for freight 2. Visibility platform to build real-time visibility across the value chain to improve turnaround time. 3. Freight Assignment platform to help logistics service providers transparently source vehicles and get them paid faster. Our goal is to bring benefits to three key stakeholders – shippers, logistics service providers and truckers. And, finally also to the end customer who receives the material and the drivers that make that delivery.
We take pride in processing an impressive 4% of India’s total freight on our platform, serving a vast network of 400+ shippers, 1500+ logistics service providers (LSPs), across 90,000+ locations. Our exceptional clientele includes over 300 industry titans, including Saint Gobain, Dalmia Group, JSW Steel, ITC, DHL, MRF, and Pernod Ricard. Software-led approaches can be the lever to transform existing assets in the industry and supercharge them to work more efficiently for all stakeholders. Essentially, our logistics system can become like a bullet train and Freight Tiger is laying down the tracks. We do this without disintermediating anyone, allowing us to build trust & facilitate collaboration across the value chain.
With such incredible backing and expertise, the company is strategically positioned to lead India's efforts in reducing logistics costs to under 10% of GDP from over 14%. The possibilities are truly endless.
