Case Study: Transfix achieves real-time shipment tracking and ETA visibility with Mapbox

Transfix - Customer Case Study

Transfix is a digital freight marketplace that connects shippers such as Target, Glossier, and Unilever with truckers to reduce the 65 billion empty miles driven by carriers each year. Their challenge was to efficiently match shipments with available carriers while giving customers and small independent drivers the real-time visibility and operational tools needed to compete with larger fleets.

By integrating Mapbox’s Directions API into their platform, Transfix added instant quotes, rate negotiation, reporting, and dashboards that show truck locations and ETAs in real time. The integration was rapid and straightforward—Transfix was up and running in minutes—and delivered prettier, more usable maps and much-improved tracking and ETA visibility for customers, improving matching efficiency and operational transparency.
