What Tech Cargo does

Tech Cargo, LLC is a US-registered freight forwarder and trade finance intermediary headquartered at 11410 NW 20th Street, Suite 224, Miami, Florida, founded in 1998 and operating with 11-50 employees under a privately held LLC structure. The company's revenue base spans two inter-related service lines. The first is conventional freight forwarding: air, ocean, and land transportation; import/export customs documentation; freight consolidation; warehousing and distribution (including free zone and bonded warehouses); and freight insurance. The second is trade finance, where Tech Cargo operates receivables finance, payables finance, supply chain finance, and a pre-shipment finance risk assessment offering aimed at factoring companies and purchase order financiers, supplemented by an asset tokenization platform and blockchain-based payment settlement.

Technology architecture centers on blockchain and digital documentation rather than conventional software. Tech Cargo integrates the WaveBL electronic bill of lading platform for paperless trade documentation, IoT sensors for in-transit cargo visibility, and stablecoin-based (Tether) liquidity channels to settle receivable purchases. The firm describes a proprietary 'logistic-based risk assessment framework' that combines logistics verification, goods inspection, quality control, and transportation tracking to give trade finance counterparties visibility into financed goods prior to shipment. GTM combines direct enterprise sales (website, email, phone, LinkedIn outreach) with channel partnerships into factoring companies and PO financiers, with Capital4Trade serving as a named US non-bank trade finance distribution partner.

The firm's strategic positioning is that of a niche integrator in cross-border SME trade finance. The May 2026 Spain-to-Florida frozen food shipment is described as a market-first execution combining eBLs, IoT monitoring, and DeFi liquidity to address working-capital pressure on smaller exporters facing delayed payment terms from large US buyers. Membership in multiple freight forwarding networks (ReverseMI, MiPharma Global, X2 Elite, For Network, Forward Together) provides geographic reach without owned capacity. No revenue, funding rounds, or institutional investors are disclosed; ownership appears founder-led with CEO Alberto Campo as the named executive.

Direct peers

• Stenn: Digital trade finance platform providing working capital to SMEs engaged in international trade. Comparable target customer (SME cross-border traders) and product set (receivables financing, trade credit).
• Drip Capital: Cross-border trade finance fintech focused on SMEs in import/export, providing receivables and working capital solutions. Highly comparable to Tech Cargo's SME-trader target segment and receivables/payables finance offering.
• Marco Polo Network: Enterprise blockchain trade finance network connecting banks, corporates, and logistics providers for paperless cross-border transactions. Closely comparable to Tech Cargo's blockchain-enabled trade finance and eBL positioning, though focused on bank counterparties.
• WaveBL: Electronic bill of lading platform used by global shippers, forwarders, and banks. Tech Cargo integrates WaveBL as a partner; WaveBL is a direct peer in the digital documentation layer that underpins Tech Cargo's trade finance proposition.
• Capital4Trade: US-based non-bank trade finance network serving SMEs. Tech Cargo's strategic partner, but a direct peer in non-bank SME trade finance — both compete for the same factoring and PO financing relationships.
• Flexport: Digital-first global freight forwarder offering air, ocean, and land forwarding alongside trade finance and supply chain visibility. Direct comparable to Tech Cargo's core forwarding business and digital orientation, though Flexport operates at vastly greater scale.

Broad incumbents

• C.H. Robinson: One of the largest global third-party logistics providers offering freight forwarding, customs, and supply chain services. A broad incumbent against which Tech Cargo must differentiate on embedded trade finance and SME focus.
• Coyote Logistics (UPS Supply Chain Solutions): Major US freight brokerage and 3PL operating at significant scale, now part of UPS. Comparable in truckload brokerage and freight forwarding services, though without the blockchain trade finance layer.
• Twill (Maersk): Digital freight forwarding brand from Maersk targeting SMEs with simplified booking, tracking, and supply chain finance. Comparable SME-forwarder positioning and embedded finance ambitions, though backed by the world's largest ocean carrier.

Emerging players

• TradeIX (now part of Marco Polo Network): Blockchain trade finance platform originally built on Corda, now part of Marco Polo Network. Closely aligned with Tech Cargo's blockchain trade finance direction, though historically focused on bank-grade counterparties.
