Our vision

OptiVlak was born to simplify freight transport, starting with a strong focus on intermodal logistics. Our goal was to help companies shift from road-only transport to more efficient and sustainable rail solutions.

But as we grew, so did our users. Freight forwarders and shippers began asking for broader capabilities beyond intermodal. In response, we evolved the platform, always keeping simplicity and speed at the core.

Today, OptiVlak helps companies of all sizes manage, quote and book road, rail or intermodal shipments in just minutes without phone calls, emails or spreadsheets. One platform. All modes. Simple transport logistics.

OptiVlak was chosen as one of the 50 best startups in the region and secured a spot in 2023 at the Genesis StartUp Academy together with Meta! 🚀 Out of 1650 applicants from over 30 countries, we have emerged as a top contender.
