Akshay Dodeja Is Making the Shipping Container Legible
A failed trucking prototype gave Akshay Dodeja a better problem: the scattered, stubborn data behind global trade. Terminal49 is his long campaign to turn that mess into software people can act on.

Haulio
Haulio is a Singapore-based logistics technology company that digitises container haulage - the first-mile trucking that moves shipping containers between ports and warehouses. Its platform connects shippers, freight forwarders and logistics firms to a regional alliance of about 800 trucking companies and roughly 10,000 first-mile vehicles, coordinating container movements, real-time tracking, billing and financing across Southeast Asia. Founded in 2017 by Alvin Ea and Sebastian Shen, the company is backed by PSA unboXed, Temasek's Heliconia Capital, ComfortDelGro and others.
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.
Terminal49
Terminal49 is a San Francisco Bay Area logistics software company that tracks ocean shipping containers in real time. It pulls status data directly from every major ocean carrier and every marine terminal in the US and Canada, standardizes it, and delivers it through a single dashboard and a developer-friendly API. Importers, freight forwarders, and drayage operators use it to know where their containers are, catch holds and delays early, and avoid demurrage and per-diem fees that pile up when boxes sit too long.
Michael Mecca
Michael Mecca is the founder and CEO of PortPro, a Kearny, New Jersey based software company building a TMS purpose-built for drayage carriers and brokers. He grew up in his family's intermodal trucking business, Mecca & Son Trucking, then co-founded Axle Technologies before launching PortPro in 2019. Under his leadership PortPro raised a $12M Series A in 2023 and now serves 550+ drayage companies, layering AI agents (Jerry, Helen) on top of its operating platform.
BlueCargo
BlueCargo is a logistics SaaS company that helps importers, freight forwarders, and drayage carriers monitor, forecast, and dispute the accessorial fees - demurrage, detention, and per diem - that pile up when shipping containers get stuck moving from port terminals to their first warehouse. Founded in 2018 by French engineers Alexandra Griffon and Laura Theveniau after they met near the Port of Oakland, the company aggregates data from North America's busiest container ports and uses AI to audit freight invoices and reclaim overcharges, having saved customers more than $175M in fees.
Alexandra Griffon
Alexandra Griffon is the co-founder and CEO of BlueCargo, a Y Combinator-backed freighttech startup that turns the chaos of US ports into clean, auditable data. After a stint in M&A at Lazard and retail analytics at Guerlain, she went to UC Berkeley, worked on yard-stacking algorithms inside terminal operators, and discovered ports were a multi-billion-dollar black box. With co-founder Laura Theveniau, she built BlueCargo to monitor, forecast, and dispute the detention and demurrage charges that quietly drain importers' cash. The company has grown from two people to roughly 40, serves over 700 US importers and forwarders, tracks 15M+ container events, and says it has helped recover $175M+ in per diem fees. In 2024 she was named a Rising Star in the Women in Supply Chain Awards.
