Cargopedia

What Cargopedia is

Cargopedia is a freight exchange connecting businesses with goods to transport and verified carriers. It automatically suggests loads or trucks matching a listed route or return route, and email and SMS alerts can notify users when matching ads are published. Maps show available loads and trucks. Members can message one another; messages reach online members instantly and are emailed to offline members, with image, PDF, Word, and Excel attachments supported. Route tools calculate distance and cost using average consumption and provide European fuel prices and truck-driving restrictions. An API lets ERP or TMS applications add, modify, or delete load ads through GET or POST requests. Companies confirm their identity and undergo manual review before activation, while users confirm email and phone numbers. Two-factor authentication sends a code by email or SMS when an account is accessed from a new device. The service is available on the web and through an API, with no mobile apps, and is headquartered in Bucharest, Romania. Cargopedia offers a free plan and paid plans from €60/mo. Its listed Free plan allows one user to publish loads or trucks, but does not include searching or contact details.
