Transmetrics is a Bulgarian SaaS startup founded in 2013 that applies AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics to optimize transport planning and demand forecasting for logistics service providers. Its platform addresses a critical industry inefficiency — on average, trucks in the EU drive half-empty — by replacing manual Excel-based planning with AI-powered optimization for linehaul planning, empty container management, and fleet management. The company works with top-tier global logistics clients including Kuehne+Nagel, DPDgroup, Matson, and Gebrüder Weiss, delivering up to 25% reductions in transport costs and 14% gains in fleet utilization. In February 2023, Transmetrics closed a €2.5 million convertible round led by the European Innovation Council (EIC) Fund and Impetus Capital, bringing total equity and grant funding to nearly €7.5 million. The company has also been selected for the EIC Accelerator program and admitted to the prestigious EIC Scaling Club, underscoring its recognition as a leading deep-tech scale-up in Europe.
