What Everoad by sennder does

sennder Technologies GmbH, operating under the brand "Everoad by sennder," is a Berlin-headquartered digital road freight forwarder that runs a two-sided marketplace connecting enterprise and mid-market shippers with a network of more than 40,000 vetted trucking carriers across 20+ European markets. The company disintermediates traditional freight brokers by directly matching capacity and demand through its proprietary sennOS platform, with wholly-owned operating entities in Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, France, the Netherlands, Latvia, and Romania, plus an engineering hub in Barcelona. As of November 2024, sennder reported a connected fleet of 40,000+ trucks, processed 50,000+ monthly loads, and employed 1,000+ people across 11 European offices.

The product portfolio is structured as a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core sennOS platform manages the entire shipment lifecycle from booking to delivery and analytics. Two self-service portals sit on top: a Shipper Portal that enables capacity booking at fixed and market prices with real-time tracking, and a Carrier Portal that allows trucking operators to find, tender, and manage loads across their fleets. Additional modules include sennCONTROL, a control-tower offering for supply chain visibility and operational planning, and sennder Green Business, a sustainability module that integrates advanced biofuels and electric vehicles through a partnership with Scania and is cited as delivering 10-80% lower CO2e emissions with biofuels and up to 90% lower emissions with electric vehicles. Acquired assets include Everoad (France), integrated as a French digital freight operation, and Uber Freight's European business.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based fees on freight matched through the platform, with shippers paying a margin that is lower than traditional broker rates and carriers retaining a higher share than through legacy channels. The go-to-market combines self-service onboarding for both shippers and carriers with enterprise field sales that serves named accounts such as AB InBev and Beam Suntory through dedicated multilingual account managers. The company has raised more than $350 million in total funding since its 2015 founding by David Nothacker and has used that capital alongside three 2024 acquisitions — Everoad, Uber Freight Europe, and the announced purchase of C.H. Robinson's European Surface Transportation business — to consolidate the European full-truckload forwarding market under a single digital platform.

Direct peers

• InstaFreight: Berlin-based digital road freight forwarder with a marketplace connecting shippers and carriers across Europe. Closest head-to-head direct peer given overlap on geography, product (digital FTL forwarding), and SMB carrier base.
• Saloodo!: Deutsche Bahn-owned digital road freight marketplace platform across Europe with self-service shipper booking and carrier matching. Directly comparable in business model, market, and customers.
• TIMOCOM: European freight exchange with tens of thousands of carriers offering road, ocean, and rail spot freight matching. Competes with sennder's carrier marketplace for SMB truckers across the continent.
• Trans.eu: One of Europe's largest road freight marketplaces connecting carriers and forwarders, particularly strong in CEE. Closely comparable in product functionality and carrier base.
• Uber Freight: Digital freight broker that operated a European business acquired by sennder; sibling competitor in technology and product design, though now US-focused. Direct competitor for digital brokerage of full truckload shipping.

Emerging players

• Flexport: Digitally-native global forwarder focused originally on ocean/air with expanding road and trucking services in Europe. Comparable digital-forwarder model but with broader ocean/air mix than sennder's pure road focus.
• Freightwalla (now Cogoport): Digital freight forwarding platform with European road and global services targeting SMB and mid-market shippers. Comparable digital-first approach to serving shippers in fragmented freight markets.

Broad incumbents

• DSV: One of the largest European freight forwarders with a significant road and full truckload business post-Schenker acquisition. Competes for the same enterprise shipper freight that sennder targets.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Global freight forwarder with substantial European road/overland operations and digital capabilities (e.g., KN FreightNet). Overlaps enterprise customer base and service categories with sennder.
• DHL Freight / DHL Global Forwarding: Incumbent European road freight operations via DHL Freight (formerly Deutsche Post/DHL) and digital marketplace MySupplyChain. Competes directly for European full truckload forwarding contracts.
