Amsterdam,
July 22, 2020, the first half of 2020 was full of unforeseen
challenges. As the COVID-19 virus emerged, businesses faced immense
obstacles. Simultaneously, our new way of living gave push to a more
digitized society. This need for digital solutions also reached the
logistics sector, which increased the demand for online transport
platforms. Scale up Quicargo
announces that they continued to grow, as the online transport platform
increased its turnover in the first half of 2020 by 200% compared to H1
2019.
Want to gain insights into the numbers and how Quicargo
managed to continue its hypergrowth in 2020? The European road freight
network released a report which includes facts and figures about the company and the first half of 2020.
‘The increase in demand for our digital platform, both from
shippers as well as carriers, creates an enormous flywheel effect, as
the advantages of a digital transport solution become even stronger when
demand and supply increase simultaneously’, thus the CCO and Co-Founder
of Quicargo, Sam Houwen.
In addition to digitization, the pandemic accelerated the
global shift towards sustainable solutions. This was required in the
transport industry, as it faces a tremendous problem in which 50% of all
trucks driving on European roads are empty or partially empty.
Subsequently, this pollutes the environment dramatically. By connecting
road freight to empty truck capacity, Quicargo offers a breath of fresh
air in the logistics sector.
Quicargo continuously shakes things up in the road
transport. The digital logistics platform gained a strong position in
the Benelux and is also expanding its reach in Europe. By constantly
adapting and embracing new technologies, Quicargo continues to grow and
revolutionize the transport industry.
