Flexport is a full-service freight forwarder and cloud-based supply chain management platform that centralizes global logistics operations—from order to delivery—into a single dashboard. The platform provides AI-driven visibility across all shipments (air, ocean, truck, rail) regardless of carrier, reducing administrative overhead by up to 30% and improving on-time delivery rates. Flexport generates revenue through a freight forwarding model, buying space on transportation networks and marking up shipments for customers ranging from mid-market e-commerce brands to Fortune 500 enterprises. The company has raised $2.5B across 10 funding rounds and serves as a modernized alternative to traditional, fragmented logistics providers.

ElasticRun is a B2B logistics and fulfillment SaaS platform that powers India's supply chain through an asset-light model leveraging existing transportation infrastructure. The platform serves FMCG brands, e-commerce companies, and retailers by connecting them to over 12 lakh kirana stores across 500+ locations and 28 states. Its AI-powered control tower automates logistics operations, transforming rural and Tier II-IV distribution networks into efficient growth engines. ElasticRun uniquely focuses on underserved rural markets rather than competing in crowded urban e-commerce logistics.

Mapbox provides customizable mapping infrastructure and location intelligence APIs that enable developers to embed powerful maps, navigation, and routing capabilities into their own applications. Unlike Google Maps which focuses on consumer navigation, Mapbox offers complete control over design, styling, and data layers, making it ideal for enterprises that need to visualize complex data and build location-aware experiences. The platform powers 40% of Fortune 500 companies across fleet management, logistics, business intelligence, and other industries requiring precise location data and real-time insights.

Convoy was a digital freight network that connected shippers with trucking carriers through automation, machine learning, and real-time data. The platform eliminated empty truck miles and inefficient appointment scheduling by enabling instant load matching between shippers and carriers. Operating a network of 400,000 trucks with GPS tracking on 95% of loads, Convoy served major enterprises including Home Depot, Procter & Gamble, and Unilever. The company ceased operations in November 2023, with its assets acquired by Flexport.

Deliverr is a distributed fulfillment platform that enables small and medium-sized e-commerce merchants to offer fast, 1-2 day delivery across major marketplaces like Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Shopify, and Target. The company uses predictive analytics and machine learning to position inventory across a network of third-party warehouses and cross-docks near anticipated demand. Deliverr provides end-to-end fulfillment services including receiving, picking, packing, packaging, and shipping, allowing SMB merchants to compete with Amazon Prime-like speed without building their own infrastructure.

Shadowfax is a technology-driven logistics marketplace connecting businesses with a vast network of delivery partners to provide last-mile, hyperlocal, and express delivery services. The platform serves e-commerce companies, quick commerce platforms, SMEs, D2C brands, and individual customers with same-day, next-day, and instant delivery capabilities. Shadowfax differentiates through proprietary logistics software offering real-time tracking, route optimization, and a transparent flat-rate billing model (Shadowfax 360) that eliminates weight-based pricing disputes. The company has achieved significant scale with major customers including Flipkart, Amazon, Domino's, Big Basket, and Paytm.
