Parnity

What Parnity does

Parnity operates Mappers, a vertical SaaS platform that helps freight forwarders manage their agent and partner networks. The product consolidates contacts from logistics networks, spreadsheets, event contacts, and WhatsApp groups into a single hub, enabling centralized search, evaluation, and bulk quotation across a freight forwarder's partnership base. Core feature modules include Agents CRM for partner profile and historical data management, a Partner Evaluation System with warning-list tracking, and Partnership AI, a recommendation engine that matches shipment needs to suitable agent partners within the user's network. The platform reports over 200 agents accessible through it, which users can combine with their own contacts for expanded network coverage.

The business model is subscription SaaS with two published tiers: a Business Plan supporting up to 5 users with network connections, AI agent search, email integration, and Agents CRM; and an Enterprise Plan with unlimited users and priority support on custom multi-year pricing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and all plans are sold via a demo-led motion (Calendly scheduling with contact Luiz Melo, plus enterprise email contact at [email protected]), targeting both small freight forwarding teams and larger enterprise forwarders globally. Parnity was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with a team of 1-10 employees.

The company has raised approximately $500K across four funding rounds between 2020 and 2022, including participation in the MassChallenge accelerator and backing from logistics-focused investor ODX Flexport and ShockVentures. Leadership consists of CEO Guilherme Luz, CPO Thais Faria, CTO Arthur Luiz, and CMO Marina Felicio. No acquisitions, partnerships, or geographic expansions beyond the global positioning of the product website are disclosed in the available material.

Broad incumbents

• Flexport: Global digital freight forwarder and ODX-affiliated investor in Parnity. Operates a much broader forwarding and logistics platform but solves an adjacent pain (partner/agent coordination) that overlaps with Mappers' core value proposition.
• Descartes Systems Group: Public logistics technology provider with a broad portfolio covering customs, TMS, and forwarding. Overlaps with Mappers on the freight forwarder relationship-management and data-consolidation themes.
• CargoWise (WiseTech Global): Global logistics execution platform widely used by freight forwarders, with deep partner/agent network functionality. Represents the dominant incumbent against which vertical tools like Mappers must position.
• project44: Supply chain visibility platform serving shippers, LSPs, and forwarders. Comparable in addressing fragmented logistics data and modernizing forwarder operations, though focused on shipment visibility rather than partner matching.

Emerging players

• Turvo: Collaborative TMS for shippers, brokers, and 3PLs with partner/agent collaboration features. Overlaps with Mappers' mission of consolidating fragmented logistics partner communication into a single platform.
• Freightos: Digital freight marketplace and freight rate management platform (WebCargo, 7LFreight). Comparable as a tech-led platform modernizing freight forwarder workflows, though focused more on rate discovery and booking.

Direct peers

• Magaya: Logistics and freight forwarding software platform with CRM, partner/agent management, rate management, and automation modules serving freight forwarders — a head-to-head competitor in the same vertical.
• Aljex Software: Freight forwarding and logistics SaaS with CRM, partner/agent portals, and rate management. Targets the same freight forwarder customer segment with overlapping CRM and partnership features.
• GoFreight: Cloud-based freight forwarding software (TMS + CRM) for ocean, air, and road forwarders. Directly comparable customer base (freight forwarders) and overlapping feature surface including CRM, partner management, and quote automation.

Others

• Llamasoft (o9 Solutions): Supply chain planning and optimization platform. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but a representative of the broader supply chain software landscape that increasingly encroaches on forwarder workflow tooling.
