What Curant does
Curant operates in the freight technology and financial operations space, with input firmographics describing the company as providing digital payments and financial operation automation for freight forwarders. The detailed source materials, however, describe a substantially broader operation: a cloud-based Transportation Management System (TMS) branded MyCarrier, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, that targets small to mid-sized businesses managing less-than-truckload (LTL) freight. The platform connects via direct API to 20+ LTL carriers including SAIA, Estes, XPO, Old Dominion, ABF Freight, TForce Freight, Averitt, Old Dominion, Pitt Ohio, Southeastern Freight Lines, and others, plus a project44 visibility integration, enabling real-time rate quoting, instant dispatch with auto-generated BOLs/PRO numbers/labels, live shipment tracking, electronic Bills of Lading (eBOL), NMFC freight class verification, freight audit (Invoice Hub), consolidated carrier payments (Precision Payments), per-shipment cargo insurance booking, and an AI-powered Freight Assist module that flags potential accessorials before booking.
The business model combines a freemium product-led growth motion (free signup via a self-serve portal) with demo-driven sales for mid-market accounts. Pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed but the platform reports subscription/recurring revenue supplemented by transaction-based volume. Disclosed operating metrics include 16,500+ daily shipments booked, 350,000+ monthly shipments, 7,000+ monthly active customers, and $110M+ in monthly platform revenue. The customer base is horizontal within SMB and mid-market shippers handling LTL freight, with named testimonials describing consolidation of 8+ carrier websites, week-long onboarding, and freight-audit dispute resolution that is 90% faster than prior workflows. Geographic scope is currently USA only. Note: the firmographics header identifies Curant as a 1-10 employee Los Angeles-based company, while the substantive source data describes a substantially larger Scottsdale-based TMS operation; the analysis above reflects the substantive evidence available in the input.

Curant competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Shipwell: Shipwell is a cloud-based TMS combining LTL quoting, dispatch, tracking, freight audit and carrier payments for SMB/mid-market shippers — a direct functional overlap with Curant's MyCarrier-connected platform across quoting, dispatch, and payments.
- GoShip: GoShip is an online LTL shipping marketplace providing instant quoting, booking and carrier integrations for SMB shippers — directly overlapping MyCarrier's PLG-freemium LTL quoting flow.
- GoFreight: GoFreight is a cloud operating system for freight forwarders covering operations, accounting, and payments — directly comparable to Curant's freight-forwarder financial automation thesis.
- Magaya Supply Chain: Magaya offers TMS and freight forwarding software with integrated billing and payments, targeting the same freight forwarder customer base as Curant with a comparable end-to-end operating system approach.
- Turvo: Turvo provides a TMS/operating system purpose-built for freight forwarders and 3PLs with quoting, shipment management, billing and integrated payments — the closest functional analog to Curant's stated freight-forwarder payments value proposition.
- Kuebix (by Trimble): Kuebix is a multi-carrier TMS with LTL rate shopping, dispatch, and freight audit; named in a customer testimonial as a displaced competitor, indicating direct product overlap in the same SMB LTL segment.
Broad incumbents
- Flexport: Flexport is a digital global freight forwarder combining forwarding operations, customs, and fintech/payments for cross-border shippers — adjacent to Curant's freight-forwarder payments thesis but at much greater international scale.
- project44: project44 is a leading supply chain visibility platform with carrier network depth exceeding most TMS players; listed as a MyCarrier integration partner and a larger-scale incumbent in adjacent visibility/orchestration.
- Uber Freight: Uber Freight operates a managed transportation platform combining digital brokerage, TMS, and financial services across the freight lifecycle — a much larger incumbent pursuing overlapping carrier-payment and shipper-finance capabilities.
- FourKites: FourKites is an established supply chain visibility and orchestration platform covering road, ocean and air freight — broader in scope than Curant but adjacent in serving shippers needing multi-modal tracking.
