# PortPro

> PortPro is a New Jersey-based software company that builds a drayage-specific operating platform - a transportation management system (TMS) purpose-built for the container trucking companies and freight brokers that move ocean containers between ports, rail yards and warehouses. Its drayOS platform handles order entry, dispatch, container tracking, appointment setting, billing and driver payments in one system, and in 2025 it layered on 'Jerry' and 'Helen,' agentic-AI teammates that dispatch loads, validate documents and generate invoices automatically. Founded by Michael Mecca, who grew up in the drayage business, PortPro raised a $12M Series A led by Avenue Growth Partners in 2023 and serves hundreds of drayage carriers and brokers across North America.
