In August 2026, Freightos reported a 15% rise in transactions on its digital marketplace compared to the previous year, hitting 458,000 transactions. The gross booking value, representing the total value of freight services transacted, reached a record $422 million, marking a 33% increase. Furthermore, the company’s platform revenue grew by 19% to $2.9 million. Previously, in 2025, Freightos’ transactions achieved consistency in growth although at a slightly slower pace. This gradual incline shows increasing comfort within the industry for adopting digital solutions.
Why Is Freightos Focusing on Digital Transactions?
The growing importance of digital transactions lies in the capacity of these systems to streamline buying and selling processes. With Freightos, notable progress reflects their prognosis on the industry.
“We are strengthening Freightos’ position as the infrastructure layer for global freight,”
stated Pablo Pinillos, CEO and CFO of Freightos. The digital infrastructure Freightos is building is expected to enhance efficiency by reducing reliance on human interventions, moving processes into seamless online interactions.
What Challenges Remain for Freightos?
Challenges still persist for companies such as Freightos looking to capture more market share. Freight pricing remains diverse due to numerous influencing factors like carrier relationships and contracts. Moreover, Freightos must demonstrate that heightened transaction activity can yield profitability. Although broader adoption of digital solutions is vital, cementing long-term growth demands that the company win over traditional players resistant to digitization.
One specific hindrance involves proving the platform’s financial soundness amidst fluctuating market demands. However, evidenced by a shift towards digital procurement, Freightos has reduced its adjusted EBITDA loss from $2.9 million to $2 million year-over-year. Currently, the company aims to achieve break-even by 2026 and become cash-generative by mid-2027.
In addition, volatile market conditions can affect pricing structures. Military events in the Middle East contributed to transaction growth by disrupting routes. This led to airfreight rates climbing approximately 25%, impacting the gross booking value positively even amidst instability.
“World events created headwinds for some parts of our business and tailwinds for others,”
Pinillos explained, reflecting the complex relationship between global events and freight economics.
The demand for accessible, real-time data in freight management is becoming indispensable. The data infrastructure led by Freightos allows artificial intelligence systems to thrive by evaluating options against current market conditions. This capability empowers organizations to make informed decisions promptly, addressing logistical complexities efficiently through digital channels.
Freightos represents a significant digital transformation within the freight industry, aiming to pave the way for seamless AI implementation. While the path to a sustainable economic model remains a challenge, their increased focus on digital marketplace value reveals a promising future. Process improvement through technology paves the path for smaller firms to compete on a larger scale while maximizing operational efficiency.
