About Cartage

Cartage builds Wilson, which it calls the AI built to manage freight for manufacturers and distributors. Wilson creates loads, books carriers, tracks and manages shipments end to end, working through email and a Microsoft Teams app rather than asking teams to change how they communicate. The company says its own team steps in if something goes wrong, delivering software speed with service reliability. Cartage announced a $3.3 million seed round in October 2024 backed by Y Combinator and others. Its terms are issued by an Ontario, Canada entity and cap liability at the amount paid or 100 USD.

Our read

Editorial view based on public information — not an endorsement.

Fits manufacturers and distributors that want shipments created, booked, tracked and managed by an AI coordinator that works over email and phone, with Cartage staff covering exceptions. No price is public. Terms cap liability at the amount paid or 100 USD and name no SLA. HQ is unclear (terms point to Ontario, Canada), so confirm the contracting entity and where staff sit. Compare who handles carrier calls, claims and delays and how exceptions are escalated.
