An increased customer base and founder Felix Wiegand is nominated for the “Sachsen gründet – Start-Up 2018” prize.
EIT InnoEnergy start-up Pamyra announced that their customer base grew by 100 new customers in January 2018, the highest number per month since its foundation in 2016. Also, founder Felix Wiegand is nominated for the “Sachsen gründet – Start-Up 2018” prize, which honours founders with innovative ideas in the Saxony area. The prize includes a EUR 50 000 media range and a trip abroad with business development cooperation Saxony.
Pamyra is an independent comparison and booking portal which forges a link between forwarding agencies, who have idle space on their vehicles, and private and commercial consigners, that can book the space for attractive prices. Carriers can enter their offers, services and empty trips for free and increase their visibility to potential customers. Then, senders can choose from a pool of over 100 carriers and compare them by individual criteria such as price, vehicle equipment, ecological efficiency and so on to find the perfect offer for them.
Pamyra mediates up to 20 orders per day and so far, have gained customer satisfaction. Danilo Behrend, Deputy Managing Director of Scooterhelden.de, said: 'Through Pamyra.de we are saving time since we don’t have to call every carrier by itself. Also, we can compare the spot market price and due to that we can decrease our transport costs.'
The goals for Pamyra for 2018 are already planned. Felix Wiegand said: 'We want to include carriers from the complete and partial load segment and establish Pamyra to become the price comparison platform for transport. We are proud that our services found a ready market, especially since the transport market is rather traditional. This reflects that there’s a high need for digital solutions in the logistic sector. Our service is free for shippers and because it is simple to use it is perfect for small and medium-sized enterprises to find the right partner.'
