Viaopt

Viaopt, founded in San Francisco, California, was a B2B company operating within the supply chain and logistics sub-industry. As part of the Y Combinator W18 batch, Viaopt aimed to serve as an ‘Uber pool’ for corporate trucking fleets, enhancing the efficiency of private and dedicated fleet owners by monetizing their excess capacity. The company provided a platform where fleet owners could offer their unused capacity to shippers, thereby improving their bottom line while maintaining control over their operations. Viaopt’s services were designed to increase asset utilization, match backhaul freight optimally, and automate tendering processes, ultimately aiming to reduce operating costs by up to 25%. For shippers, Viaopt offered reliable service, 24/7 visibility of shipments, and access to crucial trucking capacity during peak times through its digital freight network. Despite its innovative approach, Viaopt is currently inactive and no longer operates.
