Investor FAQ
Common questions from investors about our model, competitive positioning, and market strategy
Why hasn't anyone done this before?
What we built requires convincing a large grocery retailer to mandate a new operational system across its entire ecosystem of suppliers and transporters. That is extremely difficult to do without deep credibility, trust, and proof.
In markets like the US, you can't walk into Walmart and ask them to stop existing processes and adopt a new platform — the risk profile is too high.
We deliberately started in Turkey, where the founding team has deep industry relationships and execution credibility. We first proved the model with the largest retailer in the market, demonstrated operational impact, and once the ecosystem saw it working at scale, adoption momentum followed.
With that proof in place, we are now seeing strong inbound interest from retailers in GCC and Eastern Europe. As we expand across these structurally similar markets, the playbook becomes repeatable — and that makes adoption by larger, global retailers increasingly feasible.
What if Transporeon or Project44 copy you?
Yes, the model is theoretically copyable. That's exactly why our strategy is speed and market dominance, not perfection.
Our advantage comes from:
- Being embedded at the retailer-mandated layer (where decisions are enforced, not suggested)
- Rapidly expanding market by market with a plug-and-play rollout model
- Building long-term relationships with global FMCG players like Unilever, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi
By the time incumbents like Transporeon or project44 fully pivot to this model, we intend to already be live across multiple regions with entrenched retailer mandates and ecosystem lock-in.
From that point onward, it becomes a strategic expansion game: We may not win every market — but our early footprint, relationships, and data gravity give us a structural edge wherever we choose to compete.
Why is now the right time for this?
1. Regulatory forcing function: e-CMR mandates across Europe are creating compliance requirements that force digitization of logistics documentation.
2. AI inflection point: Agentic AI capabilities now enable true optimization and autonomous operations that weren't possible even 2-3 years ago.
3. Post-COVID investment: Retailers are actively investing in supply chain visibility and resilience after experiencing massive disruptions during the pandemic.
