What Kamion does

Kamion is a Turkey-based digital logistics platform founded in 2020 that operates a two-sided freight marketplace connecting shippers (manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and brokers) with truck carriers for full-truckload (FTL) road freight. The company serves both individual drivers and fleet operators, with a network of 50,000+ drivers processing more than 10,000 daily loads, and a shipper-side base of 200+ brands that includes enterprise accounts such as DHL, PepsiCo, Evyap, and Lav.

The platform is built on a cloud-based, mobile-first architecture accessible via web (api.kamion.co) and native iOS, Android, and Huawei mobile applications. Core product capabilities include algorithmic load matching, a recommended freight pricing engine, GPS/GSM-based real-time shipment tracking, and end-to-end digital document workflows covering electronic approvals, e-waybills (e-irsaliye), and e-invoices. A dedicated enterprise/broker panel (yukgiris.kamion.co) supports FTL contract freight management alongside the spot-market mobile offering, and sustainability analytics aim to reduce empty miles and carbon emissions for shippers.

Kamion's commercial model combines a transaction-based commission/take rate on completed freight bookings with managed-service revenue from enterprise FTL contract engagements; carrier and shipper registration is free. The company sells primarily through a product-led self-serve motion for carriers and a direct field sales motion for large enterprise shippers. It raised approximately $2 million in seed funding in 2022 and is backed by Y Combinator, with a stated long-term ambition to enter the top five global freight platforms.

Revenue model

1. Transaction Commission / Marketplace Take Rate: Kamion earns revenue by facilitating freight transactions between shippers and carriers through its digital platform. While the platform registration is free for carriers and shippers, the company generates transaction-based revenue from completed shipments. The carrier user agreement references payment processing via Kamion's secure payment system (SSR-secured), with Kamion collecting payment from shippers and remitting to carriers after deducting its commission. Some sources note 'commission-free' claims for specific campaigns, suggesting the standard model includes a take rate per transaction.
2. FTL Contract Shipment Management (Enterprise): Kamion offers dedicated FTL (Full Truck Load) contract freight management services for enterprise shippers through a direct sales channel, suggesting premium or managed service revenue from long-term contract relationships with large accounts such as DHL, PepsiCo, Evyap, and Lav.
