What Freight Tiger does

Freight Tiger (legal entity: Freight Commerce Solutions Private Limited) is a Mumbai-headquartered SaaS-enabled digital freight network founded in 2014. The company operates a two-sided platform connecting 60+ large enterprise shippers — primarily in cement, FMCG, and industrial manufacturing — with 4,000+ logistics service providers (LSPs) and 90,000+ locations across India. The platform sits on top of a cloud-based TMS, a real-time visibility layer (FT Visibility), and a digital freight marketplace (FT Procurement/DFN) with add-on modules for ePOD, Control Tower exception management, and FT Insights analytics powered by Microsoft Power BI and Snowflake.

Underlying technology includes an AI-powered ETA engine, ML-based tracking with location fallback (GPS, cell triangulation, FASTag, app-based), and AI-driven demand intake processing 4,000+ weekly demands at 94% stated accuracy. The platform integrates with 72+ telematics, 39+ ERP, and 27+ CRM systems, and is paired with the Tata Motors Fleet Edge connected vehicle platform following Tata's 63.6% controlling-stake acquisition in May 2026 (cumulative investment ₹270 crore).

Freight Tiger monetizes primarily through enterprise SaaS subscriptions (annual, quote-based) for shippers and LSPs, supplemented by managed services (on-ground operations support) and transaction-fee potential on the digital freight marketplace. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for shippers with self-serve onboarding for LSPs, plus an OEM-embedded channel through Tata Motors. Disclosed FY25 revenue of ₹26.7 crore (~US$3.2M, up ~50% YoY from ₹17.8 crore in FY24) reflects an early commercial stage with strong unit economics for named customers (e.g., 57% PoD time reduction at Dalmia Cement, 11–23% TAT reduction at JSW Steel, 130% supply participation increase at a TMT bar manufacturer).

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Blackbuck (Zinka Logistics Solutions): Blackbuck is India's largest digital freight network for truckload, connecting shippers with truckers through a digital marketplace. Directly comparable to Freight Tiger's FT DFN and freight procurement offering, serving the same FTL market with a shipper-carrier marketplace model.
• Loginext Solutions: Loginext is a cloud-based TMS and delivery management platform for enterprises across India, EMEA, and Southeast Asia. Comparable to Freight Tiger's FT TMS and Control Tower with overlapping modules for route optimisation, real-time tracking, and ePOD.
• Locus (Locus Technologies): Locus is an AI-powered logistics optimisation platform offering dispatch, route optimisation, and visibility. Freight Tiger itself partners with Locus, indicating direct overlap on dispatch and visibility modules targeting enterprise shippers.
• FourKites: FourKites is a global supply-chain visibility platform offering real-time shipment tracking, predictive ETA, and yard management. Comparable to FT Visibility and Control Tower modules but with a global rather than India-focused footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Delhivery: Delhivery is a publicly listed Indian logistics and supply-chain operator with TMS, visibility, and freight brokerage capabilities. While broader in scope (3PL, last-mile, express), its enterprise logistics platform competes with Freight Tiger's TMS and visibility modules for enterprise shipper wallets.
• Shiprocket (Shiprocket Commerce): Shiprocket is a leading Indian aggregator and shipping platform serving SMB shippers with shipping automation across multiple carriers. While more SMB-focused, its carrier-management and visibility capabilities overlap with Freight Tiger's LSP-facing offerings.
• Mahindra Logistics: Mahindra Logistics is a 3PL and supply-chain arm of the Mahindra Group offering transportation, warehousing, and freight services. Overlaps with Freight Tiger indirectly as an LSP and supply-chain services provider competing for enterprise logistics mandates.

Emerging players

• ElasticRun: ElasticRun is a commerce and logistics platform focused on rural and semi-urban India, providing fulfilment and freight services to enterprises. Overlaps with Freight Tiger on logistics-as-a-service and freight procurement for India's distribution-heavy industries.
• Pickrr: Pickrr is an Indian aggregator shipping platform providing multi-carrier integration, NDR management, and tracking for SMBs. Adjacent rather than direct, but competes for visibility and freight technology wallets from Indian shippers.

Others

• Celonis (process mining adjacency): Celonis is a process mining and execution management platform with logistics and supply-chain use cases. Adjacent technology for operations analytics rather than a freight network competitor, but comparable on enterprise analytics positioning for shippers.
