MiCarga cofounder here.

Thanks for the feedback, and from a first read of what we do, yes. You are spot on.

We believe we can make use of a severely underutilized pool of resources (empty trucks) in developing countries, some of it as a result of a huge industry that has transformed very quickly to adjust to the organic growth, as well as to other factors like free trade agreements that have escalated the need for transportation companies to be much more competitive in a global landscape.

The same challenges apply to the cargo generators, which have relayed on excel sheets or custom tools to manage their logistics, but that are constantly struggling to find the right solution to manage their specific needs.

I won't bore you with details, but logistics is much more than just putting cargo on a truck (think of security, insurance, satellite tracking, etc...), and we are integrating several services to simplify this for our customers.
