FreightTech startup Conlio has raised €6.4 million in a new funding round led by Piton Capital to expand its AI-powered financial automation platform across Europe. This round also saw participation from Haufe Group Ventures, WaVe-X, F-LOG Ventures, System.One, Puzzle Ventures, Booom Ventures, and Yellow. Conlio's mission is to transform end-to-end freight automation by turning complex freight documents into verified data and automating financial workflows.
Dr. Claudio Consul, Conlio's founder and CEO, highlights the challenges in freight automation, stating that traditional software struggles to handle the numerous context-dependent decisions and edge cases inherent in the industry. Conlio's AI technology addresses this by reading, interpreting, and verifying freight documents, reducing manual processing costs and accelerating invoicing.
With the newly secured funding, Conlio aims to scale its platform across Europe, addressing the €430 billion European road freight market where freight forwarders operate on thin margins. Conlio's AI-powered solution can reportedly automate over 90% of freight document checks, potentially increasing a forwarder's EBIT by up to 30%, which could amount to more than €1 million in annual impact for a forwarder with €100 million in revenue.
The investment in Conlio follows a series of European investments in freight software and AI-enabled financial operations in 2026, totaling approximately €49.4 million. These investments include companies like Procuros, cargo.one, Cargofy, Vectrix, and Plinto. Conlio's investors, including Piton Capital and WaVe-X, believe that Conlio's platform has the potential to build network effects as more participants join and more transactions flow through it.
