Kargo

Kargo provides advanced solutions for shipping and receiving automation, utilizing computer vision technology to capture data from freight labels, barcodes, text, and images without the need for RFID or manual scanning. Their platform offers real-time data and visuals on a dashboard, automatically updating existing inventory systems and enabling real-time flagging of OS&D (over, short, and damaged) issues with visual evidence to resolve freight claims. Kargo enhances inventory accuracy, visibility, and traceability by providing real-time inventory data and ensuring compliance with the FDA’s Food Traceability Rule. Their system automates appointment scheduling, driver check-in, and dock door allocation, creating a seamless workflow. Kargo Towers are designed to withstand industrial environments and operate without Wi-Fi, requiring only a standard power outlet. The company raised $25 million in Series A funding led by Sozo Ventures and achieved 8x revenue growth year-over-year. Kargo’s platform aggregates documents, system data, and visuals for easy freight management, tracks and evaluates partner performance against KPIs and compliance standards, and ensures data accuracy for better decision-making regarding labor allocation and OS&D drivers. Their system can also flag pallets with multiple lot codes at the loading dock, boosting efficiency while reducing waste.
