# Nuvocargo

> Nuvocargo is an AI-powered fourth-party logistics (4PL) for North American over-the-road freight. We work with US shippers (manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and brands that move real truckload and LTL volume) who usually recognize themselves by the job to be done: **roughly $5M–$75M a year in freight under management**, **hundreds to thousands of loads per month**, and operations still often **DIY** (coordinating carriers and brokers in-house), **spreadsheet- and email-led**, running a **homegrown or legacy TMS**, or juggling **too many brokers** with no single owner of outcomes. Nuvocargo replaces that fragmentation with one accountable operator: dedicated teams plus NuvoOS, software built for North American truckload and LTL execution. US↔Mexico cross-border is a deep capability, not a prerequisite to start.

Nuvocargo is not a standalone SaaS vendor. NuvoOS ships inside a managed service so execution, compliance, and outcomes stay tied to one partner.

Facts:
- Backed by $75M+ from Tiger Global, QED Investors, NFX, Homebrew, and Y Combinator (among others)
- CTPAT-certified; in-house US↔Mexico customs brokerage and border operations
- Large North American OTR carrier network (20,000+ trucks referenced on primary pages)
- Bilingual English/Spanish teams and product surfaces
- Shippers across manufacturing, CPG, retail, industrials, chemicals, food, pharma, tech, automotive, energy, packaging, home goods, apparel, aerospace, and related sectors
