About

transload helps logistics companies measure shipments using the security cameras they already have. A pallet, a couch, a tire โ€“ we capture its true size as it moves through the warehouse. For our customers, 15% of shipments turn out to be bigger than what the sender claimed. Catching those differences is worth ~$50k per site per month in rebillings and improved trailer utilization.
