Stargo, a privately held firm founded in 2010, seeks to change the freight forwarding and supply chain sectors by automating and improving routing and pricing in real-time in a matter of seconds. We provide dynamic optimized pricing and guaranteed payment (through a global banking network) using our Decision Support System (DSS), which has extensive artificial intelligence capabilities. This increases the effectiveness of the cargo shipping quote generation process and eliminates negative working capital on successful quotes. We employ our own big data, machine learning, and optimization algorithms running in the cloud to quickly adjust pricing from tens of thousands of international airlines. The only way to comprehend the time-consuming and labor-intensive traditional pricing procedures is through our artificial intelligence engine. Our goal is to see the freight forwarding, shipping, and logistics sectors undergo a digital transformation that will significantly increase their efficacy, profitability, dependability, and robustness.
