' Seoul Fintech Lab ' announced on the 23rd that it has selected ' Gotgan Logistics ', an AI-based B2B cargo transport brokerage platform, as a new resident company for the first half of 2025. Through this selection, Seoul Fintech Lab plans to foster a convergence fintech company that combines logistics and finance.
Gotgan Logistics is a startup that is promoting digital transformation centered on the middle-mile logistics market, and is providing functions such as AI-based automatic dispatch, automatic transportation fee settlement, and electronic receipt issuance through its own platform, Primo. This is evaluated to be contributing to improving inefficiency in the transportation industry and increasing transaction transparency by moving away from the existing manual, phone-centered, and paper-based freight transportation brokerage methods.
Currently, Gotgan Logistics has approximately 500 shippers and over 7,800 drivers participating in the platform, and major companies such as Yamaha Motors, Asung Daiso, and Dongseo Food are active as clients. In this regard, it is attracting attention as an example of fintech technology being applied in actual industrial settings.
An official from Seoul Fintech Lab said, “Gotgan Logistics is an innovative company that is solving structural problems in the logistics industry through fintech technology,” and “We expect it to have a positive impact on expanding the diversity and sustainability of the fintech industry ecosystem that the Seoul Metropolitan Government is creating.”
In addition, Gotgan Logistics is expanding practical fintech services such as corporate card-based shipper services, transportation fee pre-calculation programs, and insurance product linkages through cooperation with various financial institutions such as Hana Bank, IBK Industrial Bank, Samsung Card, SC First Bank, Welcome Savings Bank, and DB Insurance.
In addition, problems pointed out in the existing industry, such as ▲phone-based dispatch system ▲unofficial money transactions ▲delayed transportation fee payment ▲excessive brokerage fees ▲paper-based documentation system, are being converted to digital methods. Accordingly, processes such as card payment, real-time transaction tracking, transportation fee settlement within 5 days, and automatic issuance of electronic tax invoices are being introduced, contributing to the structural improvement of the industry.
This change is considered significant in that it goes beyond technological innovation and is consistent with the direction of Seoul City's public policies, such as ESG (environment, society, and governance) policy, realization of a transparent economy, and digital standardization of industrial structures.
Kim Ja-young, CEO of Gotgan Logistics, has over 20 years of experience in the SoftBank development team in Japan and domestic and international fintech companies, and is leading the expansion of services based on logistics and financial convergence technology. Kim said, “We plan to pursue strategic M&A and global market entry through system integration (SI) cooperation with large companies and expansion of logistics service supply.”
