For their part, carriers can receive orders and accept them if they wish through a free application, so that they can complete the loading of their vehicles and increase their income.For the creation and implementation of OnTruck, its founders allocated 100,000 euros, although friends and family soon wanted to participate, with an investment of 500,000 euros. In October 2016, they closed a first round of financing worth 2 million euros, in which Point Nine Capital, based in Berlin, participated; the British fund Local Globe; and Samaipata Ventures. In May 2017, a second round of financing of 9.2 million euros led by Atomico took place, followed by the French fund IdInvest, and the venture capital arm of the company, also French, Total Energy.

On the one hand, it provides an immediate way to access their prices, simply by entering the web and quoting shipping. Any company can schedule a shipment for free and hire in less than two minutes a load of any dry or refrigerated merchandise on local or regional routes in the areas it currently operates. The transport can be for that same time or scheduled, that is, the typical services of 24h and 48h, which means that they can pick up any palletized goods in less than 30 minutes. They are also very competitive in price within their sector, becoming up to 50% cheaper compared to the rates that are usually handled in the sector.On the other hand, OnTruck are firmly committed to optimizing the use of industrial vehicles by generating routes. Its technological solution seeks to capture the inefficiencies that are generated in the regional transport of goods when you combine and execute a high volume of loads in a very defined geographical area and generate opportunities for routes that reduce the number of kilometers that vehicles in our network make in empty. | $19.2M / Series B / Jun 11, 2020 | ||
