Measure freight items with security cameras

transload helps logistics companies measure shipments using the security cameras they already have. A pallet, a couch, a tire – we capture its true size as it moves through the warehouse. For our customers, 15% of shipments turn out to be bigger than what the sender claimed. Catching those differences is worth ~$50k per site per month in rebillings and improved trailer utilization.

TL;DR:

Trucking companies lose billions because they don't know the actual size of the items on their trucks
We measure every shipment using the existing warehouse security cameras – no new hardware or process changes

Problem: Over 2 million irregular items move across the US in trucks every day. Trucking companies charge based on how big each item is but rely on the sender to tell them. Senders often guess wrong or lowball, costing trucking companies revenue and truck space.

Solution: We use the CCTV cameras already installed in the warehouse against theft and claims to measure items with computer vision. In the future we track shipment status, location and evidence for claims across the supply chain.

Ask: Do you know any trucking company or warehouse owners? We would love to help them.
