Loadsmart is a digital freight technology company and 4PL that connects shippers, carriers, warehouses, and dock operations on a single platform. Founded in 2014 by Felipe Capella and Ricardo Salgado and headquartered in Chicago (with significant New York presence), Loadsmart raised more than $346M from investors including BlackRock, SoftBank Latin America Fund, Maersk Growth, TFI International, CSX, Ports America, and Connor Capital, reaching a reported $1.3B valuation. The platform spans full and partial truckload, less-than-truckload, drayage, expedited, flatbed (via Flatbed Messenger), and multimodal freight, plus the ShipperGuide TMS for procurement, planning, and execution; CarrierGuide TMS and a carrier loadboard with factoring; Opendock for dock appointment scheduling and the Nova warehouse API; and NavTrac for yard management and computer-vision gate/yard visibility. FreightIntel AI provides machine-learning powered freight recommendations across the suite. Loadsmart exposes a public Developer Portal with two production OpenAPI surfaces — the ShipperGuide API (api.loadsmart.com, JWT/RS256 authentication, with quote, book, tender, track, and webhook lanes) and the Opendock Nova / Neutron API (neutron.opendock.com, JWT bearer authentication) — and ships a Postman collection plus partner integrations with Oracle Transportation Management, MercuryGate, Blue Yonder, SAP, NetSuite, and other TMS/ERP platforms.
