What transload does

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.

Measure freight items with security cameras

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a system that uses the security cameras logistics companies already have to measure the size of freight items as they move through warehouses. Our product captures the true dimensions of pallets, couches, tires, or any shipment in real time to catch discrepancies between declared and actual size, helping warehouses improve billing accuracy and trailer space usage.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we all live and have our technical roots. It's also a hub for logistics tech companies and prospective customers, so it makes sense to stay here to build and grow transload.
