MatchLog Solutions, a player in sustainable container logistics and supply chain optimization, has announced the closure of a $1.5 million pre-series A funding round. The funding, led by Motion Ventures and July Ventures, with participation from Venture Catalysts, Blue Ashva Capital, and Capital A, aims to propel the company’s efforts in enhancing sustainability and carbon efficiency within container logistics.
Established in July 2019, MatchLog is revolutionizing the logistics sector by optimizing cargo, container, and trailer movements, thereby significantly reducing operational wastage. With the newly acquired capital, the company plans to transition to a full platform model, with a focus on carbon reduction as a core aspect of its offering. This strategic move aligns with MatchLog’s commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation in logistics.
Utilizing advanced container-matching algorithms and a sophisticated technology-driven platform, MatchLog ensures seamless integration across the logistical ecosystem. By optimizing transport routes and enhancing equipment utilization, the startup aims to eliminate 10 billion km of unnecessary travel in the EXIM container supply chain, setting new industry standards in efficiency and sustainability.
In addition to its global ambitions, MatchLog is scaling its footprint in the Indian market, with projections to handle around 4-5 million containers annually. This expansion is expected to result in a substantial reduction of 200,000 metric tonnes of carbon emissions each year, contributing significantly to India’s sustainability goals.
Dhruv Taneja, Founder and CEO of MatchLog, expressed enthusiasm about the company’s transition and growth trajectory. He highlighted MatchLog’s achievements in improving efficiency and reducing carbon emissions, emphasizing the potential for further impact with expanded operations.
Investors, including Motion Ventures and July Ventures, have expressed confidence in MatchLog’s platform-first approach and its potential to reshape global logistics while reducing environmental impact. Their investment reflects a shared commitment to sustainability and efficiency in the supply chain sector.
