Cargomatic

Cargomatic is a technology-enabled marketplace for local freight and drayage that connects shippers with a network of more than 35,000 professional truck drivers across the top 20 ports in the continental United States. Its platform automates quoting, booking, dispatch, tracking, and document exchange for drayage, intermodal, less-than-truckload (LTL), full-truckload (FTL), and white-glove final-mile delivery. Cargomatic exposes a public REST API (the Cargomatic Public API) so shippers and carriers can automate the same quoting, order-creation, shipment-status, stop-management, driver-assignment, and document workflows available in the Cargomatic portal, authenticating with JWT bearer tokens issued from an authentication endpoint. The company is headquartered in Long Beach, California and is backed by Canaan Partners and the SoftBank Vision Fund.

Cargomatic publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Authorization API, Carrier API, Document API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Company, Logistics, Freight, Drayage, and Transportation.

Cargomatic’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, FAQ, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 20 more developer resources.
