Trukkin raises $3.5 million becoming the leading truck aggregator in the GCC

Trukkin raises $3.5 million becoming the leading truck aggregator in the GCC

Launched in 2017, Trukkin is a techno-logistics firm based in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates operating throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region and beyond.

Saudi Arabia/UAE: As “on demand” services expand into more industries and market places, Trukkin is leading the way in digital logistics solutions for long-haul trucking.  Launched in 2017, Trukkin is a techno-logistics firm based in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates operating throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region and beyond. The company works to innovate and simplify logistics and land transportation.

Trukkin has raised over $3.5 million in the recent funding round, which included marquee investors from the AL-Namlah Family Group, the Al-Madi Family Group, and the Abanumay Family Group. Batic Investments and Logistics, a publicly listed company on Tadawul, remains as one of the key investors in the start-up.

“Trukkin’s vision, operational efficiency, capital utilization, and sound business model drove us to partner with them in the region over other competitors. Trukkin knows the pulse on the ground.” said Mohamed Al-Namlah, Managing Director of Amnest Group By adding the new capital to the company, Trukkin will be able to significantly scale their services across the GCC region. The company has shipped to over 200 locations in the Middle East. In Saudi Arabia alone, Trukkin has completed over 10,000 long-haul, business-to-business truck movements. That is a significant accomplishment given that the country represents nearly 50% of the overall GCC market opportunity.

Investor Al-Madi explained that they had been following the sector for months and were impressed with what Trukkin has been able to achieve. “Their team is very focused on the ground and has shown their operational prowess. We believe we can further add significant capabilities to Trukkin with our investment,” Al-Madi said.

Founder and Chief Executive Officer Janardan Dalmia explained how their model works. “Trukkin operates on an ‘asset-light’ model, meaning it doesn’t own the trucks. Our focus on overall service lets us improve both the customer and transporter experience and also increase asset utilization and reduce inefficiencies.”

Trukkin serves a wide range of customers. Through its app and online marketplace, the company brings together shippers who need more transparency and easier access to trucks with truckers who need better access to demand and higher fleet utilization. Their client base ranges from businesses who order close to 100 trucks a day to ones with smaller needs who order as few as three trucks a month.

Trukkin is fully aligned with the Saudi Vision 2030 plan to diversify the country’s infrastructure, with a specific focus on the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP). The NIDLP is working to make Saudi Arabia a “leading industrial powerhouse and a global logistics hub.”

CEO Dalmia says the company’s aggressive growth strategy fully supports the vision. “Trukkin is building up its marketplace to connect thousands of mostly independent truckers. The long-haul land transport market is highly fragmented and disorganized, and our aim is to institutionalize and professionalize this business,” Dalmia explained.

Trukkin is one of several startups gaining global recognition in the new industry. In 2018, a Wall Street Journal headline noted that China’s Truck Alliance, a truck hailing company, was on course for a $10 billion valuation. Blackbuck, India’s largest trucking platform, was named CNBC’s 2018 Startup of the Year reaching unicorn status in 2019.

How Technology Can Solve Logistical Challenges In The Middle East

Logistics and Transportation market in the Middle Eastern region is still operating in traditional ways. The market is very fragmented with lot of inefficiencies that exists currently.

Large customers/shippers who have regular transportation requirements are engaged with the fleet owners/transporters with long-term contracts.

On the other hand, Companies that don’t have steady transportation requirements struggle to find the right transporters to move their goods.

Fleet Owners are tied to servicing their long-term customers and don’t have a good view on other job requirements (other companies, new companies and ad-hoc requirements). Independent drivers either have multiple jobs on hand or none at any given point in time.

Their Jobs depend mostly on the network and contacts with intermediaries. Backhaul is another challenge that most transporters must deal with. Customers/shippers mostly have one-way requirements and it’s up to the transporter to find a shipment he can take on his way back from the original destination.

Customers and Fleet Owner are constantly on calls to trace shipments’ locations and are always anxiously waiting the delivery of their where the shipment is currently and when would it be picked up and delivered.

There are surely inefficiencies in the current processes which needs to be addressed.

With the advent of new technology like mobile apps, cloud computing, geo tracking, advanced data analytics and machine learning, these problems can be solved.

There are techno logistics companies like Trukkin emerging to solve these problems. Trukkin has come up with a cloud-based marketplace which addresses the above-mentioned challenges and brings in efficiency to the transportation processes.

Trukkin provides a platform for the customers/shippers to place their job request in a matter of seconds.

With superior operational expertise and that provides around-the-clock customer support, Trukkin works with the available supply in the market to fulfill customer requirements in the most cost-effective way.

This shipment requirement is sent out to all transporters (fleet owners, independent drivers), who provide their availability and quotes.

Customers then accept the offer that meets their price and quality expectations. A transporter is notified of the acceptance and he arrives at the loading point and starts the service, reaches the destination point and ends the service.

The customer/fleet owners can track their shipments real time from their mobile phones or desktop/laptop computers, without making anxious calls to know where the shipments are.

This is just a start, technology will enable the transportation industry like its done in other industries. IoT, Machine learning, AI technologies will further improve and simplify the transportation processes, as Trukkin plans to invest heavily in these technologies in the coming future.

Big Trucks and Cargo Movement in the GCC

The everchanging face of Market Place around the globe has revolutionized mode of business and living over the last few decades magnanimously. Transportation of cargo and the logistics landscape has also seen great advancement in how business is carried out on a day to day basis. Middle East has been no alien to these advancements and developments. The UAE being the hub of latest technologies in terms of governance, commerce and industry, has seen some real development in every sector. Players like Uber and Careem and the Roads and Transports Authority itself has laid foundations for the next generation enhancements in public transport sector. The discussions of Hyperloop on the cards is a testament to how far we have come. But there seems to be a serious lag in terms of Cargo Movement and Logistics landscape in the Middle East and GCC in general.
Achieving uberization in large trucks and vehicles is far from reality at this stage but it is only a matter of time before a large chunk of business is automated entirely. Businesses are striving to achieve and enhance efficiency by implementing smart technologies and business processes. Transportation of goods plays a considerable role in our lives in general and for manufacturers in specific. Achieving excellence in this sector is imperative and essential and every empty truck on the roads is a liability for the infrastructure and general efficiency of our logistics ecosystem.
With emerging players like TRUKKIN, a UAE based technology start up, the transportation sector in the Middle East will see digitalization and automation of the transportation process with the flexibility to operate in either a marketplace model or the traditional transporter mode with digitalization. With the aggregation of individual drivers and small transport companies, it will be easier to centralize the currently scattered traditional transporters. This aggregation is now leading to a better trucking experience for shippers since the transportation is digitalized and processes are automated. Shippers can now track their shipments in real time from their smart phones with apps like TRUKKIN. Real Time Tracking, SMS & email updates is creating an ease of access to the high values goods transported locally and cross border. Standardization of individual transporters with platforms like TRUKKIN is changing the shape of our transportation industry without and burden on these individual transporters. The reduction in costs, lead time and hassle-free shipments is creating ripples in the industry. The right evolution in this industry will lead to maximized automation in transportation of goods and documentation etc. of cargo movement across GCC.
