1. Technology overview
Zencargo is a digital freight forwarder and supply chain platform founded on January 4, 2017 by Alex Hersham, Jan Riethmeyer and Richard Fattal, headquartered in London, United Kingdom. It was built to give importers of ocean, air and road freight a software layer over traditional forwarding, replacing fragmented spreadsheets and emails with SKU-level order visibility.
The Zencargo platform books and manages ocean, air, road and Asia-Europe rail freight while tracking purchase orders down to the SKU level, and adds analytics for freight cost, carbon emissions and forecasting on top of that data. Customers are mid-market and enterprise retail, fashion and consumer goods importers, including Harrods, Sephora UK, Beauty Pie and PANGAIA.
