TIRPORT

What TIRPORT does

TIRPORT (legally GRN Lojistik Teknolojileri A.Ş.) is a Turkish digital logistics platform founded in 2016 and headquartered in Ataşehir, Istanbul, that operates as a two-sided "digital forwarder" connecting cargo owners with truckers through AI-augmented smart freight-truck matching. The company serves two primary customer segments: 100,000+ individual truck owners and small fleet operators who use the free TIRPORT yükCEPte mobile app to find loads, plan return loads, and receive freight payments within 24 hours; and 5,000+ logistics SMEs, manufacturers, and spot-market shippers who register via the web panel to procure FTL/LTL capacity with end-to-end real-time visibility. Named enterprise customers include DAMCO (Turkish port-container transport) and global manufacturers onboarded through a strategic partnership with KPMG Turkey. The platform has expanded to 14+ countries across 8 languages, with a stated five-year ambition to reach 1.5 million regional truckers across Europe, the Turkic Republics, and Africa.

The underlying technology stack combines an AI-powered matching engine with hardware-free, real-time location-based shipment tracking (no on-vehicle device required), end-to-end digital document management under a unified Yük ID, one-touch U-ETDS regulatory reporting, and an embedded electronic-money payment infrastructure (TIRPORT Card). The platform runs on web, iOS, Android, and Tablet clients and integrates with Mapbox (mapping), GpsGate and TrioMobil (telematics), AWS / Google Cloud / Microsoft Azure (cloud infrastructure), and Türkpara (licensed payment institution). TIRPORT Insights publishes aggregated market data as a sub-product, while DepOrtak extends the platform into digital warehouse sharing.

TIRPORT's revenue model is primarily freemium: carriers pay no commission and use the app free of charge, while shippers get free basic membership and pay for value-added services (spot-market freight quotes, enterprise features) plus embedded insurance. Monetization also flows through payment-processing economics on TIRPORT Card transactions, PARAM-enabled freight payments, and partner-distributed fuel/tire/roadside benefits. Distribution combines self-serve PLG (mobile app stores, web panel) with inside sales via a Smart Call Center and enterprise channels through KPMG Turkey and Fibabanka. The company has raised disclosed institutional capital from Re-Pie Portföy (December 2021) and Finberg (approximately USD 2M, April 2024), with Fibabanka joining as a payment-services partner in the same round.

Revenue model

1. Carrier Membership (Freemium): Carriers (truckers) join TIRPORT free of charge and pay no commission on loads they take — TIRPORT does not earn directly from individual carriers. Membership is free; revenue from carriers is indirect via adjacent services (TIRPORT Card, partner discounts).
2. Shipper Service Fees (Transaction-Based): While basic shipper membership is free, value-added services are charged. For spot-market shipments, TIRPORT offers a freight quote; acceptance triggers AI matching with a carrier and end-to-end tracking. Service fee details are provided via Smart Call Center.
3. TIRPORT Card / Payment Services Revenue: TIRPORT Card electronic money infrastructure supports cash tracking on a company basis, ATM withdrawal, POS/online spending, fuel payments at OPET stations, and PARAM partner discounts — generating interchange and payment-related revenue.
4. Freight Payment Processing (via Fibabanka partnership): Through its partnership with Fibabanka, TIRPORT brokers freight payments to truckers' cards within 24 hours, with Fibabanka as the payment services partner — creating payment-processing economics.
5. End-to-End Insurance on Spot Shipments: All spot shipments under TIRPORT are insured end-to-end under TIRPORT guarantee, with additional insurance coverage available on request — an embedded insurance/managed-service revenue stream.

Core offering

TIRPORT is a digital logistics platform that connects cargo owners (shippers) with truckers through AI-augmented smart freight-truck matching. The platform provides end-to-end, real-time, location-based shipment visibility, digital document management, and an embedded electronic money payment infrastructure (TIRPORT Card), enabling 24-hour freight payments to carriers without requiring hardware installation on vehicles.

Product overview

TIRPORT operates as a single unified digital logistics platform (positioned as a "Digital Forwarder") with several integrated modules and sub-products. The core is the TIRPORT Digital Forwarder Platform (web/iOS/Android/Tablet) that enables end-to-end, real-time, location-based shipment management for both shippers and carriers, powered by augmented-intelligence (arttırılmış zeka) technologies. The TIRPORT yükCEPte mobile application is the carrier-facing add-on that allows truckers to find loads, bid, plan return loads, and receive payments within 24 hours. TIRPORT Kart (with the supporting Güvenilir TIRPORT Ödeme Sistemleri payment layer) provides an electronic-money card and freight payment system enabling 24/7 carrier payments, while PARAM integration enables direct-to-card freight payments. TIRPORT Insights serves as the analytics sub-product providing logistics market intelligence and quarterly reports. The SSL Link feature is a built-in module that lets shippers share live shipment tracking with customers. DepOrtak is a related sub-product for digital warehouse-sharing. Together these form a complete digital logistics ecosystem: carriers use yükCEPte to find loads → the platform's AI matches and tracks shipments end-to-end → shippers monitor via dashboards and SSL Links → TIRPORT Insights powers market intelligence → TIRPORT Kart/Payment Systems settle freight payments within 24 hours.

Direct peers

• Loadsmart: Loadsmart is a digital freight broker combining AI-driven carrier matching with managed transportation services for FTL and LTL. It is a direct peer to TIRPORT in offering algorithmically matched capacity with shipper dashboards and API-based integration.
• sennder: sennder is a European digital road freight broker connecting enterprise shippers with carriers through a tech-enabled marketplace. It is a direct peer to TIRPORT as a non-asset digital forwarder serving European shippers and small/medium carriers, and competes for cross-border Mediterranean/European freight flows.

Broad incumbents

• Flexport: Flexport is a global digital forwarder offering air, ocean, and road freight via a single platform. It is a broad incumbent peer to TIRPORT: a digital forwarder with a much wider product portfolio (ocean/air dominance) but a similar technology-led, asset-light positioning.

Others

• project44: project44 is a supply-chain visibility platform providing real-time shipment tracking and predictive ETA across modes.

• Tive: Tive provides IoT-based in-transit visibility hardware and software for supply chains. It is an adjacent/ecosystem peer to TIRPORT, addressing the same real-time-visibility problem TIRPORT solves, but via hardware-based tracking rather than TIRPORT's hardware-free approach.

Emerging players

• Freightos: Freightos operates a global freight marketplace (including the WebCargo air-freight pricing platform) and a SaaS booking platform. It is an emerging player peer to TIRPORT, sharing the digital-marketplace DNA but focused primarily on international air and ocean rather than road.
