Pamyra

What Pamyra does

Pamyra is a Leipzig-based logistics technology company that operates a dual marketplace and SaaS platform for European freight transport comparison and booking. Founded in 2016 by Felix Wiegand and Steven Qual, the company built Pamyra.de, an independent comparison portal aggregating 600+ verified freight forwarders across the DACH region and broader Europe, serving both commercial shippers (B2B) and private consumers (B2C) seeking competitive freight rates for pallets, large packages, furniture, and machine transport. The platform claims up to 70% savings on pallet shipping versus standard rates, with 30% of bookings occurring outside business hours.

The core technology is a cloud-based microservices platform running on Kubernetes, enabling real-time freight price calculation and automated matching. Product portfolio includes the Pamyra.de marketplace, Pamyra4You (white-label SaaS embedded on partner logistics websites), Pamyra Connect (virtual subcontractor network with configurable margin markups), and Pamyra Pro (B2B tier for high-volume shippers with address books, booking templates, and Fast Track Checkout). The platform supports CO2-neutral shipping via partnership with ARKTIK and factoring services for payment security. Integration with DAKO Transportmanagement provides distance calculation, and Hetzner Online provides data hosting under GDPR compliance.

Pamyra generates revenue through two primary mechanisms: (1) transaction commissions charged only on completed freight bookings through the marketplace, and (2) monthly subscription fees for Pamyra4You white-label SaaS, with customizations billed as project fees. Additional revenue comes from PamyraPro premium services and commission from a factoring partnership with an external financial provider. The company has raised at least three funding rounds since 2018, most recently a low seven-figure EUR round in March 2021 led by TGFS with GeCoin GmbH and a Family Office, and serves 12+ European countries including a 2025 expansion into Western Balkan markets.

Direct peers

• Timocom: Europe's largest freight and vehicle marketplace connecting shippers with carriers. Directly comparable to Pamyra.de as a freight exchange/matchmaking platform, but with significantly larger scale and broader pan-European network.
• sennder: European digital road freight forwarder connecting shippers with carriers through proprietary technology. Similar GTM of digitizing traditional freight forwarding, but focused on enterprise shippers and FTL contracts rather than SMB marketplace transactions.
• InstaFreight: Berlin-based digital freight forwarder providing instant pricing and booking for full-truckload shipments across Europe. Comparable to Pamyra's B2B marketplace proposition for SMB shippers seeking digital freight procurement.
• Trans.eu: Major European freight exchange and logistics platform offering spot and contract freight matching plus a freight forwarding exchange. Closely comparable business model to Pamyra's marketplace, with strong presence in CEE and DACH markets.
• Cargonexx: Hamburg-headquartered digital freight forwarder combining an algorithmic pricing engine with carrier marketplace for FTL and LTL shipments in Europe. Comparable to Pamyra's mission of digitizing freight price discovery and booking.
• Liefery: German same-day and next-day delivery platform for bulky goods (furniture, appliances) connecting shippers with carriers. Comparable target use cases (large item shipping, B2C + B2B) and DACH geographic focus to Pamyra's private shipper segment.

Emerging players

• Log-hub: Supply chain analytics and logistics optimization SaaS provider. Comparable as a logistics technology vendor targeting shippers and forwarders with digital tools, though focused on analytics rather than marketplace transactions.

Broad incumbents

• DACHSER: One of Europe's largest family-owned logistics providers with extensive road freight and contract logistics operations. Comparable as a freight forwarder using Pamyra-adjacent digitization, but operating at vastly larger scale and as a potential customer/competitor.
• Uber Freight: Global digital freight brokerage from Uber operating across US and Europe. Comparable end-to-end digital freight matching proposition but operating at vastly larger scale and broader geographic footprint than Pamyra.

Regional players

• Truck1.eu: European marketplace for commercial vehicles and trucks with adjacent freight services. Comparable marketplace business model, but focused on vehicle sales rather than ongoing freight shipment transactions.
