## Description

$12 trillion in goods move by freight every year, coordinated by people copy-pasting between email and spreadsheets. We're building the AI that changes that.

Sidecar builds AI to run the global supply chain.

Ever wonder how your phone got to you from a factory in Shenzhen? Or how the jacket you ordered from Italy made it to your door in 5 days?

Behind every shipment is a freight forwarding company, a logistics middleman coordinating ships, customs, warehouses, and trucks across continents. These companies still run on emails, spreadsheets, PDFs, and terminal software from 1998. Their teams manually extract info from documents, and respond to hundreds of emails and phone calls daily to execute business specific workflows.

Sidecar is a 24×7 Virtual AI Teammate for these Logistics Service Providers that calls, emails and logs into systems and everything else to execute a complex task.
