A load is one record, not six.
CargoPay is a shipment management platform for European road freight. The shipment is the record everything else is built from, which is why the same load never has to be entered a second time.
What the platform does
Six stages in the life of a load, over one shipment record. Each stands on its own, and none of them asks you to type the load again.
Find
A freight board for loads looking for a truck, and a truck board for capacity looking for a load. Both roles can browse both.
Agree
A shipper posts a transport request, carriers bid on it, and the price is agreed before anything moves.
Move
The shipment record itself, with its own status lifecycle and the fleet and driver records it draws on.
Document
The eCMR and the eFTI regulatory set, including Spain's DeCA, generated from the shipment and signed electronically.
Get paid
Payment terms attached to the shipment and agreed up front, with the money secured before the goods move in several of the workflows.
Dock
Loading bays as a bookable calendar, so an arriving truck holds a named slot instead of joining a queue.
Why it is built around the shipment
The same load, typed four times
In most freight operations a load is entered into a board, then again into a consignment note, then again onto a dock sheet, then again onto an invoice. Every copy is a chance for the addresses to disagree, the weights to drift, or the carrier named on the document to be the one that was replaced last week.
Those disagreements are what disputes are actually made of. They surface at delivery, when the paperwork is the only evidence anyone has.
Entered once, generated after
On CargoPay the shipment is the source. The eCMR takes its parties and addresses from it. The dock appointment attaches to it. The payment request is raised against it. Correct the delivery address once and everything produced afterwards is correct.
Some states of a shipment stop accepting edits on purpose: once a load has moved and been documented, its record is evidence rather than a draft.
Everyone here has been checked
CargoPay is a closed network. Verification is not a badge on a profile, it is the condition of being on the platform at all, which is what makes a company you meet on a board worth talking to.
Company registration
Checked against official registries, not taken on trust from a form.
VAT number
Validated through VIES, which matters the moment a load crosses a border.
Licences and insurance
Operating credentials and cargo cover, reviewed by a person rather than a checkbox.
Identity and payout account
Verified by Stripe during onboarding, which is what closes the door on invoice redirection.
Verification establishes that a company is real, registered and licensed. It does not underwrite its solvency or its conduct, and we will not pretend otherwise. What protects a particular load is the payment workflow chosen for it, which is exactly why holding funds before the goods move is offered at all.
Who it is for
Two roles, because a load only ever has two sides. Brokers and freight forwarders register as shippers.
Carriers
Find loads on the freight board and bid on requests. Run your fleet and driver records in the same place as the shipments they are used on, issue the eCMR from the load rather than from a template, book the bay at the other end, and get paid on terms agreed before you roll.
Shippers
Post what you need moved and take bids from carriers who have already been checked. Keep the documents, the regulatory set and the payment attached to the shipment they belong to, and turn your loading bays into a calendar that arriving trucks book themselves.
Who builds it
CargoPay is built by Tarlabs., in Europe, for European road freight. Not a general logistics suite with a transport module bolted on, but a platform built around the way a load actually moves across the continent.
European by construction
EU VAT handling, CMR conventions and the eFTI regulation are the starting point, not a localisation.
GDPR and data isolation
Each organisation sees its own data. Card details never reach our servers; Stripe holds them.
Three languages
English, Spanish and Romanian throughout, including the documents, not only the marketing pages.
