What Unicargo does

Unicargo is a privately held digital freight forwarder founded in 2005 and headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey, with additional offices in Kearny (NJ), Rosh HaAyin (Israel), and China, supported by 13 warehouses across three continents and a staff of 51-100 employees. The company offers an integrated logistics ecosystem covering international air, ocean, and road freight forwarding; customs brokerage and trade compliance; global warehousing and fulfillment; PO management; cargo insurance; Importer of Record (IOR) services; transloading; reverse logistics; and marketplace-specific services including Amazon FBA prep, Walmart logistics, Target logistics, and D2C fulfillment. Underlying technology centers on the Unicargo Digital Platform (my.unicargo.com), which provides self-serve quoting, booking, real-time shipment tracking, and inventory dashboards, supplemented by pre-built integrations with Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, Target, WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, ShipStation, Zenventory, and Freightos.

The customer base is anchored in SMB e-commerce sellers operating across major US marketplaces and D2C brands, with a secondary segment of importers managing cross-border supply-chain risk. Unicargo pursues a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led self-service through its digital portal with high-touch enterprise support via dedicated logistics managers. Revenue mechanics are primarily transactional (freight and warehousing fees), supplemented by recurring warehousing/fulfillment subscriptions and professional-services revenue from customs and compliance engagements; pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers. The company also publishes proprietary trade-policy resource tools (Trump's Tariff List, Trump's Exclusion List, and a Volumetric Calculator) as content-marketing and lead-generation assets. No external funding rounds, revenue figures, or institutional ownership have been disclosed.
