# Transportial vs Qargo

Qargo is a Belgian transport management system focused on road freight operations. It offers order management, planning, and basic fleet tools for small-to-medium carriers. While Qargo provides a clean interface for everyday dispatching, Transportial delivers a more complete operational platform with AI-powered optimisation, multi-tenant architecture, and OTM5 interoperability.

Why Transportial

## Why teams switch from Qargo

### OTM5 Open Standard

Transportial is built on the European OTM5 open standard, enabling seamless data exchange with any partner, ERP, or platform. Qargo uses a proprietary data model that limits interoperability.

### AI-Powered VRP Solver

Our built-in Vehicle Routing Problem solver automatically assigns consignments to vehicles based on capacity, time windows, and EU driving regulations — a capability Qargo does not offer.

### Multi-tenant Architecture

Transportial supports full multi-tenancy, allowing logistics service providers and software partners to run multiple organisations on a single platform with granular permissions.

### Advanced Message Automations

Event-driven automations in Transportial send notifications, updates, and alerts based on transport events — from departure alerts to ETA updates — without manual intervention.

### Enterprise-grade API

Full REST API with webhooks, real-time status updates, and OTM5-compliant endpoints. Build integrations, embed tracking, and automate workflows at any scale.
