Powerful analytics from this expansive network bridge the gap between freight data and how to use it to make accurate decisions.
“Our mission is to connect the world’s trucks and fundamentally improve the safety and efficiency of the trucking industry while helping companies grow. We believe that if you can model the past, you can predict and even shape the future,” said Shoaib Makani, CEO and co-founder, KeepTruckin. “Our platform unlocks the data that makes this vision possible. The Greenoaks Capital team along with our existing investors share our belief that technology will transform trucking.”
“Trucking is forecasted to be a $1 trillion industry by 2024 and is the backbone of the global economy, yet has been underserved by technology. But change is coming and KeepTruckin is at the leading edge,” said Neil Mehta, founder and managing partner, Greenoaks Capital. “KeepTruckin is building the technology that trucking companies need to compete in the modern economy. The network that KeepTruckin has built will enable it to change the way freight is moved on our roads.”
