What Tirport does

Tirport, operating under the legal entity GRN Lojistik Teknolojileri A.Ş., is an Istanbul-headquartered digital logistics platform founded in 2016 that operates a two-sided marketplace connecting individual truck owners and carriers with shippers and logistics companies. Its core offering is the yükCEPte (yükCepte) mobile application on iOS and Android for carriers, paired with the TIRPORT Web Platform for shippers, both powered by what the company describes as augmented-intelligence ("arttırılmış zeka") load-truck matching. Notable technical components include real-time, location-based shipment tracking that operates without vehicle-mounted hardware, digital document management for driver credentials and transport documents, U-ETDS regulatory compliance for both Turkish and EU standards, and an electronic money-issued Tırport Kart that enables 24-hour guaranteed freight payouts under a Fibabanka bank guarantee.

The platform reports 100,000+ active member truckers, claims reach to 450,000+ individual truck owners and 1.2 million SRC-certified trucks, and operates across 14+ countries in 8 languages with approximately 80 employees processing thousands of daily FTL shipments. Its revenue model is freemium: basic carrier and shipper membership is free with no commission, and revenue is generated via transaction facilitation fees embedded in the freight payment system plus premium services and specialized enterprise logistics solutions. Go-to-market is hybrid — product-led growth through the mobile app for individual carriers, with enterprise sales supported by a KPMG Turkey partnership channel that brings global manufacturers and brands onto the platform. The company is private and venture-backed, with disclosed institutional investors including Re-Pie Portföy, Hedef Girişim (17.5M TL at a 300M TL valuation in 2022), and Finberg/Fibabanka (~$2M in March 2024).

Core offering

Tirport operates a two-sided digital logistics platform that connects shippers and logistics companies with individual truck owners (carriers) through AI-powered load-truck matching, accessible via mobile (iOS/Android), web, and tablet. Carriers use the yükCEPte mobile app to find loads without commission fees and receive payment within 24 hours via the Tırport Kart electronic money infrastructure backed by Fibabanka. Shippers gain real-time, hardware-free shipment visibility, digital document management, and access to a curated network of 100,000+ performance-scored truckers across 14+ countries.

Product overview

Tirport operates as a digital logistics platform composed of three interconnected products: (1) the yükCEPte mobile app — a commission-free load-finding and freight-payment platform for truck drivers/carriers; (2) the TIRPORT Web Platform — a web-based end-to-end logistics management dashboard for shippers and logistics companies; and (3) the Tırport Kart — a digital freight payment card issued on Tirport's electronic money infrastructure that enables instant payment disbursement to drivers. The platform serves both sides of the logistics market (carriers and shippers) through separate but interconnected interfaces, with augmented-intelligence-powered load-truck matching at its core.

Direct peers

• Uber Freight: Uber Freight operates a digital freight marketplace connecting shippers with carriers across multiple geographies. Both Tirport and Uber Freight apply technology-driven load matching and capacity sourcing for truckload freight, with Tirport focused on Turkey/EMEA and Uber Freight primarily in North America.
• Loadsmart: Loadsmart runs a digital freight brokerage platform offering instant quoting, booking, and shipment management for shippers and carriers. Comparable to Tirport in providing technology-enabled freight matching, though Loadsmart has stronger North American presence while Tirport leads in Turkey.
• Transfix: Transfix operates a digital freight network connecting shippers with capacity through technology-driven matching. Like Tirport, it focuses on full truckload brokerage with software-led operations, serving shippers with real-time visibility and carrier capacity tools.
• Freightos: Freightos runs a digital freight marketplace primarily for international ocean and air freight, with growing presence in road freight. Both platforms operate as digital marketplaces connecting shippers and carriers with price transparency and instant booking capabilities.
• NEXT Trucking: NEXT Trucking offers a digital freight marketplace specializing in drayage and truckload shipments. Comparable to Tirport in targeting fragmented trucking markets with mobile-first carrier apps and shipper platforms, though NEXT focuses on US port drayage.
• Convoy: Convoy was a major US digital freight network connecting shippers with truck drivers via mobile app (wound down 2023 but historically highly relevant). Closely comparable model to Tirport in applying technology to match loads with carriers, with deep market validation of the digital brokerage thesis.

Emerging players

• GoComet: GoComet provides a multi-modal freight management platform with instant quoting and tracking. Comparable to Tirport's platform-based approach to logistics digitization, particularly in international trade lanes and visibility features.
• Shipwell: Shipwell combines a TMS platform with freight brokerage and carrier network capabilities. Similar to Tirport in combining shipper-side software with carrier matching, though Shipwell emphasizes TMS workflows while Tirport focuses on carrier capacity sourcing.

Broad incumbents

• Maersk Spot: Maersk Spot is the digital freight booking product from Maersk (Tirport's DAMCO customer parent). Both offer instant booking of freight capacity with transparent pricing, though Maersk Spot extends from ocean into broader logistics while Tirport is road-only and Turkey-focused.

Regional players

• Yurtiçi Kargo: Yurtiçi Kargo is one of Turkey's largest logistics and transportation companies. Both operate in Turkish logistics, but Yurtiçi is an asset-heavy parcel and freight carrier while Tirport is an asset-light digital platform; relevant as a comparison point for Turkish logistics market dynamics.
