Pre-Seed Investment Pitch

Carrier. Yard. Warehouse. Simplified.

The Next-Generation Unified Cloud Operating System Connecting Carriers, Yards, and Warehouse Operations.

Connected Logistics Execution

Synchronizing Carrier, Yard & Warehouse Operations

Transforming fragmented supply chain nodes into a continuous, real-time flow with zero infrastructure friction.

Carrier Portal

Self-service appointment scheduling and real-time collaboration for seamless gate-to-dock handoffs.

Empowers carriers with automated slot booking, instant document exchange, and real-time status updates—eliminating gate congestion and detention fees.

YMS (Yard Management System)

Zero-hardware, real-time yard visibility and autonomous dock-door orchestration.

Track trailer locations, automate spotter dispatches, and optimize gate check-ins to eliminate blind spots and accelerate site throughput.

WMS (Warehouse Management System)

Next-generation, cloud-native inventory and fulfillment execution designed for agile operations.

Streamline inbound receiving, putaway, sorting, picking, and outbound consolidation with dynamic task interleaving and end-to-end stock accuracy.

The Mid-Market Dilemma

Small & Medium Warehouses Trapped by Million-Dollar Monoliths

Existing legacy platforms are financially prohibitive and take 12+ months to deploy. Small and mid-scale warehouses need immediate time-to-value without multi-million dollar budgets or heavy IT overhead.

Financial Barrier

Legacy vendors (Manhattan, SAP) demand $500k–$2M+ upfront plus heavy consulting, pricing out SMB and mid-market operators.

Slow Go-Live

12 to 18 month implementation cycles paralyze agility. Growing facilities cannot wait a year to digitize their operations.

Yard Blindspots

Entry-level ERPs track accounting but leave yard trailers and dock doors in blindness, causing gate gridlock and lost inventory.

Carrier Friction

Lack of self-service tools forces manual paper clipboards, endless phone check-ins, and expensive carrier detention penalties.

Market Inflection Point

The 4 Forces Driving Immediate Disruption

Soaring labor rates, real-time browser capabilities, and shifting enterprise software preferences make this the ideal window for Ekayo.

Surging Penalties

Warehouse wages and carrier detention fees make rapid dock turnarounds critical for margin survival.

WebGL & Telemetry

Interactive 3D digital twins run instantly in standard mobile browsers without expensive on-premise hardware.

Modular SaaS Shift

Enterprises reject 18-month implementations, demanding lightweight platforms piloted and deployed in days.

Touch-First Native

Modern frontline operators and external drivers expect frictionless self-service and mobile-native workflows.

Immense Market Demand

A Rapidly Expanding $14.2B to $26.8B Market

Global supply chain automation is growing at 13.5% CAGR as mid-market and enterprise facilities upgrade from legacy silos to unified cloud execution.

COMBINED WMS & YMS TAM

$14.2B → $26.8B

Expanding at a 13.5% CAGR from 2025 to 2030, driven by digitization across 3PL, retail, manufacturing, and intermodal corridors.

60%+ Labor Spend

Warehouse operating expenditure consumed by manual putaway, sorting, and paper-based picking routes.

$45+ / mispick

Average direct cost of fulfillment rework, customer returns, and inventory discrepancy write-offs.

Regional Market Potential

Massive Growth Across India & Broader APAC

Capturing India's massive manufacturing and Grade-A warehousing boom, while expanding into the $4.5T+ broader APAC logistics ecosystem.

🇮🇳 India Market Potential ($380B+ Sector, 8.8% CAGR)

National Logistics Policy (NLP): Government drive targeting logistics cost cuts from 14% to 8% GDP via digital corridors (ULIP).
Grade-A Warehousing Boom: 500M+ sq. ft. modern fulfillment space expanding across Tier-1 & Tier-2 manufacturing clusters.
65%+ Unorganized Whitespace: Huge demand for lightweight, multilingual zero-hardware WMS and digital gate check-ins.

🌏 Broader APAC Opportunity ($4.5T+ Sector, 10.2% CAGR)

Global Growth Engine: APAC generates >45% of global logistics spend, accelerated by cross-border trade and China+1 supply chains.
High-Value ANZ Beachhead: High hourly wages ($38–$45/hr) and strict HVNL chain-of-responsibility rules drive fast ROI in Australia.
SEA Expansion Corridor: Fast-growing 3PL and manufacturing hubs across Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia scaling on cloud SaaS.

Predictable Monetization

Predictable, Role-Based Hybrid Pricing

Keeping the Carrier Portal 100% Free eliminates partner adoption friction, while user-block floor licenses prevent punitive shift penalties.

1. SETUP CAPEX

One-Time Setup

3D Digital Twin yard modeling, WMS floor rollout, ERP/TMS API connectors, scanner config, and staff training.

2. RECURRING OPEX

Monthly Active Seats

Admin & Planners: Per seat / month.
Floor Operators: Per user block / month.
Carrier Portal: 100% Free Forever.

3. ENTERPRISE SLA

Cloud Infrastructure

High-availability cloud SLA, database backups, automated patches, version upgrades, and continuous feature drops.

APAC Competitive Landscape

Outperforming Legacy & Regional Point WMS

While regional SMB WMS tools manage isolated 4-wall inventory, Ekayo unites external carriers, 3D yard twins, and floor execution on one zero-friction pipeline.

Capability / Dimension	Legacy Monoliths (SAP, Manhattan)	APAC Point WMS (CartonCloud, Unicommerce, Vinculum)	Ekayo Unified Cloud (Carrier + Yard + WMS)
Operational Scope	Feature-rich but Complex	Inside 4-walls WMS only	Unified Carrier + 3D Yard + WMS
Carrier Collaboration	Costly custom EDI / TMS add-on	None (Phone, email, WhatsApp)	100% Free Self-Service Portal
Yard & Gate Visibility	No dedicated YMS platform	Blind spot / Manual paper logs	Zero-Hardware 3D Twin & Yard Visibility
Deployment Velocity	6 to 18 Months	4 to 8 Weeks	< 2 Weeks (Plug-and-Play)
Pricing & TCO Structure	$250k–$1M+ Capex + consultants	Per-order fees / Add-on friction	Transparent Tiered SaaS (No Carrier Fees)

Capital Efficiency

Scaling to $6.2M ARR & 450 Facilities

High software gross margins (83%) and land-and-expand dynamics from facility pilots into multi-site enterprise contracts drive strong profitability.
