FERCAM and cargomotion driving the digital transformation of transport logistics
This software, based on the technology platform originally developed by InstaFreight and now marketed under the cargomotion brand, aims to enhance operational efficiency, real-time visibility, and automation in logistics processes.
The innovative cargomotion digital platform, formerly known as InstaFreight and founded by Philipp Ortwein, Maximilian Schäfer, and Markus Doetsch, has been under continuous development over the past eight years. Successfully used in over 1 million transport operations and by more than 2,000 customers for tailored transport solutions, cargomotion is built on advanced and reliable technology, positioning it among the most cutting-edge digital tools in the European logistics market.
A value-added collaboration
FERCAM is among the first customers to have successfully integrated the new cargomotion platform into its systems. The partnership between FERCAM and cargomotion combines the logistics provider’s extensive hands-on experience with the software developer’s technological expertise.
The platform enables intelligent connectivity between shippers, forwarders, and carriers, supporting digital spot offers, automated freight matching, advanced carrier searches, and real-time management of documents, rates, and invoices.
“This platform marks a significant shift in how we interact with our customers,” says Hannes Baumgartner, CEO of FERCAM. “It ensures greater efficiency and transparency without compromising the quality of service and personalized assistance that are the cornerstone of our service model.”
Rudi Krenn, Head of FERCAM’s Vienna branch and coordinator of the pilot phase, emphasizes: “Digital doesn’t mean distant – it means smart networking. Our goal is to enable our customers to act faster and manage more intelligently, while relying on a trustworthy partner.”
Effective synergy between technological know-how and industry expertise
The platform continues to evolve, driven by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). These technologies dynamically optimize pricing, fleet allocation, carrier matching, and compliance, making the platform increasingly high-performing.
“We are proud to partner with FERCAM, a company that shares our vision for innovation,” says Philipp Ortwein, co-founder of cargomotion. “In a short time, more than 100 FERCAM customers have already adopted our platform, confirming the real, tangible, and everyday value we deliver.” Co-founder Maximilian Schäfer is convinced that with cargomotion, digitalization is moving into the fast lane. “We combine technological innovation with deep logistics expertise, delivering tailored solutions and tangible competitive advantages.”
A shared commitment to digital progress
This collaboration reaffirms FERCAM’s commitment to technological innovation and the development of tailored solutions for its customers. The integration of technological know-how with industry experience and expertise translates into a long-lasting competitive edge for both companies and their clients.
