> cargo. Czech-based, EU-wide.

## What Cargoguid does

- **Load search**: Carriers browse open freight requests filtered by lane, body
  type, weight, ADR class, and payment terms.
- **Shipper portal**: Shippers post requests, review carrier offers, and book
  through a verified-counterparty pipeline.
- **Verification**: Both shipper and carrier parties pass KYB checks (company
  registry, VAT, licence, insurance, ADR endorsements) before any commercial
  interaction.
- **Transport lifecycle**: Booking → assignment → loading → in-transit → POD →
  invoicing → ratings, with audit-friendly state machines and POD/CMR uploads.
