Freightos sees Q1 transactions up 29% to 295,600

Freightos reported preliminary Q1 Performance Indicators. In Q1 Freightos continued to achieve operating milestones consistent with its long-term growth objectives. The platform facilitated 295.6 thousand transactions, representing a year-over-year growth of 29%. This strong consistent transaction growth underscores the platform’s broadening market acceptance and the increasing embrace of digital solutions in the freight industry, and is aligned with the company’s target of 20-30% annual transaction growth rate. Gross Booking Value, or GBV, for Q1 grew 14% compared to the same quarter last year, well above management’s forecast of 0-2% growth. This outperformance stems mostly from elevated freight rates during the first quarter, related to the Red Sea crisis. In Q1 2024, the count of Unique Buyer Users rose to approximately 18 thousand, reflecting the platform’s success in continuously broadening the user base. This 11% increase from Q1 2023 demonstrates Freightos’ commitment to enhancing user engagement and expanding its market reach. Additionally, the carrier network expanded to 49 carriers, up from 37 in Q1 last year.
