What MatchLog does

MatchLog Solutions Pvt. Ltd., founded in 2019 and headquartered in Mumbai, operates an AI and machine learning-powered container reuse platform that matches import container flows with export demand to eliminate empty repositioning runs in container logistics. The platform addresses an industry pain point in which shipping lines, cargo owners (BCOs), third-party logistics providers, transporters, and freight forwarders incur substantial cost, fuel waste, and carbon emissions from moving empty containers between trade lanes. The company's product suite consists of the core MatchLog Platform alongside three integrated modules: STinder (a self-serve AI-powered street turn finder that matches export bookings with import container availability for 24/7 instant approvals), MiSTY (a satellite depot network with locations in Morbi, Vapi, Pune, and Gandhidham enabling cross-shipping-line container swaps on the same trailer), and TES (a Transport Execution System for booking, tracking, vendor management, and invoicing with API-driven enterprise integration).

The company's technology stack centers on a proprietary matchback and triangulation algorithm that ingests structured trade, routing, and container availability data to predict and execute container reuse in real-time, with reported outcomes including a reduction in container turnaround time from an industry standard of 34 days to 2-4 days, 30% direct matching of incoming container volumes to export demand, 13-14% logistics cost reduction for users, and approximately 600 kg of CO2 avoided per matched container. The platform is distributed through a multi-channel GTM combining direct enterprise field sales to shipping lines and large BCOs, a self-serve SMB onboarding flow via STinder, and embedded distribution through partnerships such as the Softlink Global Logi-Sys ERP integration (covering 5,100+ logistics companies across 100+ countries) and regional channel operators including BLR Logistiks, DD Khosla, Gujarat Logistics, DahNay Logistics, and STA Alliance.

MatchLog monetizes through a combination of transaction or success fees on completed container reuse matches, enterprise platform and subscription fees for access to TES, STinder, and MiSTY services, and a developing carbon credit monetization stream tied to the Scope 3 emission reductions the platform enables. Enterprise pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, while SMB pricing operates on a usage-based pay-as-you-go model. The company has raised approximately $4.5 million in total funding across two pre-Series A rounds (January 2022 and April 2024), is backed by Blue Ashva Capital, Rainmatter Climate (Zerodha), Capital-A, Motion Ventures, July Ventures, and Venture Catalysts, and holds ISO 27001, 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications. Leadership comprises Founder and Global CEO Dhruv Taneja (previously a container depot operator in Gandhidham), Co-Founder and CEO-India Harsh Vardhan Gupta, and Co-Founder of Strategy and Network Buildout Abhishek Baheti. MatchLog has partnerships with major shipping lines including Maersk, MSC, ONE, HMM, Hapag-Lloyd, and PIL, and has expanded internationally with a Singapore office opened in September 2025 targeting the Southeast Asia market.

Revenue model

1. Transaction/Success Fees: MatchLog charges transaction fees for successful container reuse matches facilitated through the platform. Fees are earned when import containers are successfully matched with export bookings, eliminating the need for empty repositioning trips.
2. Platform/Subscription Fees: Enterprise customers including shipping lines and large logistics providers pay platform fees for access to TES, STinder, and MiSTY services. The platform serves as a SaaS tool for transport execution, vendor management, and container optimization.
3. Carbon Credit Monetization: Per terms and conditions, MatchLog claims ownership of carbon credits generated from trip avoidance due to container reuse or triangulation matches. The company has partnered with two agencies to develop standards for measuring and potentially monetizing carbon credits.

Core offering

MatchLog operates an AI-powered container reuse and EXIM logistics optimization platform that matches import container flows with export bookings to eliminate empty container repositioning. Its offering comprises three integrated modules: STinder (street turn finder), MiSTY (satellite depot network for cross-shipping-line container swaps), and TES (transport execution system for booking, tracking, vendor management, and invoicing). The platform serves shipping lines, Beneficiary Cargo Owners (BCOs), 3PL operators, transporters, and freight forwarders, claiming to reduce container turnaround time from 34 days to 2 days while achieving 40% efficiency gains and reducing logistics costs by 13-14%.

Product overview

MatchLog operates as a unified platform-plus-modules architecture for container logistics optimization. The core MatchLog Platform serves as the central ecosystem, powered by AI-driven technology to match import containers with export demand through triangulation. Three integrated modules extend the platform: STinder (Street Turn Finder) serves as the AI-powered matching engine for direct import-to-export container assignment; MiSTY (MatchLog Integrated Street Turn Yard) provides the physical infrastructure through India's only satellite depot network for container swapping across shipping lines; and TES (Transport Execution System) handles the transport execution layer with booking, tracking, vendor management, and API integration. Together, these products enable businesses to eliminate empty container runs, achieve 40% efficiency gains, and reduce carbon emissions by up to 600 kg per matched container.
