AI-native operating system for air and ocean freight, enabling forwarders to search, compare, and book cargo capacity in real time
About
cargo.one is an AI-native operating system for air and ocean freight, headquartered in Berlin. Founded in 2017 by Moritz Claussen, Oliver Neumann, and Mike Rotgers, the platform enables freight forwarders to search, compare, and book cargo capacity across airlines and ocean carriers in real time. Leading carriers and forwarders partner with cargo.one to centralize and automate their sales and procurement workflows.
The company is backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, Index Ventures, Creandum, Next47 (Siemens), Point Nine Capital, and Lufthansa Cargo, having raised $64M through its Series B. In March 2026, cargo.one acquired Lisbon-based ocean rate platform Cargofive, expanding into multimodal freight.
cargo.one operates as a remote-first company, hiring from over 40 countries. The engineering team runs a service-oriented architecture on Google Cloud Platform with Kubernetes, using gRPC for synchronous endpoints, Airflow for async workloads, and GitLab CI for build pipelines.
