Freightcom

What Freightcom does

Freightcom Inc. is a Canadian shipping solutions provider headquartered in Bolton, Ontario, that aggregates rates and delivery capacity from major carriers including UPS, FedEx, Purolator, Canpar, GLS, and DHL into a single cloud-based platform. The company's core product is a self-serve shipping management platform offering simultaneous rate comparison, booking, tracking, and consolidated invoicing across LTL freight, small parcel/courier, cross-border Canada-US, and international shipments. Around this core platform it operates an expanding product surface: ClickShip (an eCommerce-focused sub-brand launched in July 2019 with single-click fulfillment and storefront integrations), an Inventory Management System, a Transportation Management System, White-Label Shipping, Freight Audit, and a Shipping API branded FreightCommerce.

Freightcom primarily targets small and medium-sized businesses in Canada and the US that need access to negotiated enterprise carrier rates without dedicated logistics staff, while also serving enterprise customers, freight brokers, and eCommerce merchants through additional modules. The company runs a multi-channel go-to-market combining a self-serve PLG online signup, dedicated enterprise field sales with demo booking, and channel/reseller motions through broker and SMB affiliate programs.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees on shipping bookings (customers pay carrier rates plus a platform fee) combined with enterprise subscription and white-label services (Transportation Management System, Freight Audit, Billing & Invoicing). Strategic growth has been pursued through acquisitions (notably ShipGooder in February 2021 and a second undisclosed acquisition within the same two-month window) and a series of distribution partnerships including Walmart Canada Marketplace, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, BMO, and Bolt Logistics. The company is privately held, has no disclosed institutional funding, and operates with 51-100 employees under leadership of President and CEO Turab (Tony) Kermally, with Zul Kermally as Chairman.
